Answer: Of course there is more than that to islam, but the reason why I feel it is an important statement to make is because if people like myself in the usa convert to islam and pray 5 times a day and recite arabic and do charity, there is no danger for anyone, there is only benefits. You make wudhu, so you are hygenic. You pray 5 times a day so you overcome laziness and become more reliable, gaining integrity. Islam does not require that you go to a mosque and be brainwashed by the muslim teachers nor does it require that you join a group of muslims or anything resembling such activity. And the only time you have to go somewhere (where other muslims are) and it is obligatory upon you, is when you can afford to go to hajj, without owing anyone money, then you have to go.
*Quote: Sahih al-Bukhari 4:52:41 *
Answer: I am a shi3i. And hundreds of millions of shias worldwide agree with me that “Sahih” Al Bukhari is chock full of rubbish which has contradicted the Holy Qur’an. Infact, in islam there is no such things as “sahih” (100% authentic) books other than Holy Qur’an. It is a consensus across the board, from our Blessed Prophet (S) and our Imams, that No book can be 100% Authentic except Qur’an.
They are Muhammad, Ali (First Male to Accept Islam), Hassan, Hussain, and 9 Sons of Hussain. (AS) Imam Jafar As-Saddiq (AS) said “if a hadith contradicts qur’an, throw it away.” Imam Jafar As-Saddiq is respected by both sunnis and shias alike, and is the 6th Imam after the Prophet Muhammad (S).

the problem is terrorism, not religion. you need to focus on the problem instead of creating confusion and division.
is it just a coincidence that 99.44% of terrorists are Muslim? I think not.*
Answer: haha where did u get this number? Bring the source of that pls. Because i’d say thats a ridiculous lie. I can claim 44% of catholics eat lollipops, i think i will…but now i feel so shallow and unfulfilled
*There is a big difference between Islam [the belief] and Muslims [the people], *
Yes. Islam is when someone or something obeys Allah’s will. Muslims are those who
A. aspire to take part in the cosmic ISLAM.
or
B. aspire to take over the world.
You can not choose Islam AND the world. Ye cannot serve God AND Satan.
*and there is a big difference between saying “all Muslims are terrorists” and “all terrorists are Muslim”. *
your heart knows, “Not all muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are muslims.” If you disagree with this then you are yourself an extremist since you deny common sense and critical thinking in favor of your personal religio-political agenda based on blind convictions with no evidence; and also because you instill terror in ignorant web-surfers (via lies) to enforce this agenda.
But that is not the case, which casts doubt on the truth of Muslim beliefs and raises the question of whether they themselves really believe that Islam is true.
we dont fear criticism, and if you are looking for fear where there is none means you either want us to be afraid or you are projecting something upon us through more crazy talk in order to further your agenda once again. (which is to perpetuate confusion & division between the east and west, and in this instance, your tactic is to make islam seem less credible, by making muslims seem like they dont believe in islam) In reality its obvious how much we love islam and this needs no further comment.
Unfortunately, stereotyping is a human trait. By contrast, someone draws a cartoon of Mohammed, and the whole ummah stereotypes all Christians and goes on a barbaric rampage in which it kills non-Muslims at random.
As you know I am a shi3i, and killing non muslims is not permissible for us, much less obligatory. If someone has a death warrant issued they have to be arrested and put on trial, then legally put to death. If people deviate from these laws, they can be put on trial and punished too. Unfortunately lots of places have weak police force or corrupted completely. But all this is irrelevant to me living in the usa, believing in shia islam, worshipping allah, not joining a group or going to a mosque (yet accepted by shias as a full shia), and being a lover of peace. Had i joined a group (which all my brothers and sisters i know have done) i would find the teachers teaching about all wonderful things and speaking out against extremism (as I have listened to hundreds of hours of their lectures and learned directly from a teacher at a university in iran full of beautiful moments and wisdom.)
*Conclusion: Islam has a PR problem that is not going to get solved by more Muslim violence. *
Islam has no such problem, YOU and majority of the world have the PR problem ABOUT ISLAM. You studied for a day, then left it in order to pursue debates. Everything in islam is already figured out, but we muslims know that the only way to get to that knowledge is to figure out which school of thought is correct through research. Islam is complete, not confused, not corrupted, and it is perfect guidance for mankind. Its just that the world has seem to forgotten this version of Islam except for exceptional few individuals.
Forget about muslims leaving islam, its not gonna happen. Focus on getting extremists to realize theyre extremists.
