We keep arguing about whether Islam is a religion of peace or not. The majority Christiam perception seems to be that it is not. What, in your opinion, are 3 things Islam should do to change that perception, assuming that it really is a religion of peace.

Mine are:
  1. Crack down on Imams and madras’s who preach hate.
  2. Allow true freedom of religion in countries such as Saudi Arabia and other Islamic states.
  3. Give women the same rights as men in every Islamic country.

lol…first thing I thought when i read your quote of "Islam should do to…"i was like “who is Islam?”

I think the way we as Muslims can change around the state that we are in is to START PRACTICING TRUE ISLAM. If we do this, we will be as Allah says in the Quran, among those who are succesful.

What is True Islam, and why in 14 centuries, it hasn´t been practised good islam!, because in 14 centuries, many catholic and christian heads had been beheaded or killed by muslims. Much more that crusades or other things.
What is True Islam?
Please explain us. And don´t leave the thread.
 
There’s only *one *thing that needs to be done:

All Muslims should convert to Christianity.😉
 
True religious fredom in Isalmic countries, plus
Freedom of the press,
and freedom of speech.

Hmm…perhaps they (Muslims) view it as all Catholics should convert to Islam!!!
 
True Islam is following the Quran and the sunnah of the Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him.

People will try to twist and turn words, but if you ask them for clear proof from the Quran and Sunnah, you will see the holes in their arguments.

Killing innocent people is forbidden in Islam. Blowing up a building with innocent men and women who are just going to work goes under kiling innocent people.

Here is a good article on that bbc.co.uk/religion/ethics/war/islam.shtml#quran2190

Some people want to turn a blind eye to these things to fulfill their own agendas and they use Islam to do it.

Just a small note: when talking about becoming a muslim the word that should be used is “revert” and not “convert”. Because we believe that every human being is born a muslim and free of sin.

Peace

1-People who preach hate are not true Muslims.

2-No compulsion in religion

3-Islam is who gave real women’s rights over the other religions.

So Islam is a perfect religion no need any changes,

But who need changing is some not real Muslims who proclaim that they are Muslims.
This should be according to shari’a not according to Christian or the west.

As for the assertion that everyone is born a Muslim, I most wholeheartedly disagree!

As for the second, if you were free of sin you would never sin! Are you stating now that Muslims are sinless??😃

The fact that you are sinners just like the rest of us, means that original sin is real, otherwise no one else would have sinned except Adam and Eve!

Is there some misunderstanding in definitions, perhaps?
While I can agree with the statement made, most of what I have been shown is that “innocent people” are those who follow strict Islamic rule. All others are infidels, and not innocent. Have I been mis-informed?

And yet ordinary Muslims were out in the street cheering after the attacks. How do you justify that with what you’ve said?

I dont think that had anything to do with being a “Muslim” or any other faith. That had to do with how Middle Eastern Countries view the USA…so it was a political statement not a religious one.
 
The only thing needed to change the image is democracy. In England’s ancient past Christians all went out to see people hung, drawn and quartered in public.

This was all allowed under the ignorance of a dictatorship/monarchy with brutal policies in place to invoke terror and keep order. Islam does the same thing in countries that have no civilized order in there governments. In the US Islamic people obey the law because they have no choice in a modern democratic country.

With respect for the moderator’s wishes I want point out that I am speaking of governments and not the religion of Islam. Islamic governments need to end and people need to be allowed to live (outside of Islamic law) if they choose a path outside of or beyond Islam.

I personally will never agree with Islam. The big problems I see are ignorance, poverty, and cruel allowance of murder by Islamic government leaders. They are too frightened of the extremist to stand up and make a change.

So as long as fanatical policies are in place the Middle East will resemble pre-WW2 Japan in its cruelty. Bring a little a freedom and we will have the Japan of today in the Middle East. I personally think that Christianity would flourish there in time if it were allowed.

For my two cents, I think in our lifetime if we were lucky enough to see all the people in the world enjoy true religious freedom without persecution - by that I mean freedom to act responsibly, within the law, be able to worship as they wish, and an ability to actively grow their own faith, that would be a huge accomplishment. This would open the door to all the world religions working on the important issues, like murder, genocide, poverty, etc.

Reconciliation only has a chance of happening, very long term if at all, if this is accomplished. But this first step is so huge, the world would be a much better place.

And reputations, real or perceived, are only changed by action.

If we can’t agree on the things we disagree on, can we agree to work together on the things we do agree on? Wouldn’t that make the world better?

Code: 
  Maybe it's my mistake,  what i meant by free of sin,  is that you are born with no sin or bad deeds on your record, till a certain age.      
   
  Regarding the Original sin,  don't u think that it denies our free will.     If God gave us the free will to do right or wrong,  then why am i held responsible for something i didn't do, nor was consulted about it,  Adam and Eve (pbut)  had the free will.   God didn't force them to eat from the tree.   Then why does he force their sin on me.

   **The bottomline,  if you believe God gave us the free will, then the whole concept of Original sin is meaningless.    And if you believe that God didn't give us the free will,  then simply he can't Judge us on something he forced upon us.    **
Peace
