ISLAM is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to

every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy,

and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have

come to be associated with their faith.

WHAT IS ISLAM?

One billion people from a vast range of races, nationalities and cultures across the

globe from the southern Philippines to Nigeria -- are united by their common Islamic

faith. About 18% live in the Arab world; the world's largest Muslim community is in

Indonesia; substantial parts of Asia and most of Africa are Muslim, while significant

minorities are to be found in the Soviet Union, China, North and South America, and

Europe.

Who Are The Muslims

Muslims believe in One Unique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in

the prophets through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of

Judgment and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete authority over

human destiny and in life after death.

What Do Muslims Believe ?

Muslims believe in a chain of prophets startingwith Adam and including Noah, Abraham,

Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses,Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the

Baptist, and Jesus, peace be uponthem. But God's final message to man, a

reconfirmation of the eternal message and asumming-up of all that has gone before was

revealed to the Prophet Muhammadthrough Gabriel.

Simply by saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah” one converts to Islam and becomes a Muslim , This saying means “There is no

true god (deity) but God (Allah),and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.”  The first part, “There is

no true god but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither

partner nor son. By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all God's

messengers, and the scriptures they brought.

How Does Someone Become A Muslim

The Arabic word ‘ISLAM’ simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning'peace'. In a religious context it means complete

submission to the will of God.Mohammedanism' is thus a misnomer because it

suggests that Muslims worshipMuhammad rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic

name for God, which is used byArab Muslims and Christians alike.

What Does « ISLAM » Means

Terrorism, the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political

objective. Terrorism has been practiced by political organizations with both rightist and leftist objectives, by nationalistic and religious groups, by revolutionaries, and even by state institutions

such as armies, intelligence services, and police.

What’s Terrorism

Terrorism is different from regular crime because of its strong political properties

The definition of terrorism can vary from people to people due to the differences in

standpoint One person’s terrorist can be another’s

fighter

Property of Terrorism

Oppression or perception thereof Limited ability to fight back using conventional and/or

peaceful methods Conflict seen as moral and necessary, even at the

expense of so-called innocent victims Religious or ideological motivation

What are the roots of Terrorism ?

Extreme groups who seek to resolve specific issues, rather than affect more

widespread political change. These groups occupy the extreme

fringes of animal rights, pro-life, environmental, antinuclear and other

political and social movements.

Special Interest

Why has terrorism become more violent and indiscriminate?

How much liberty should be given-up to reduce threat of terrorism?

Is terrorism (without WMD) really a strong threat?

What could be done to dispel the notion that the USA or other western states are threats? Would this be enough?

Deeper Questions

The True Meaning of « Jihad »

Islam defines Jihad as striving and struggling for improvement as well as fighting back to defend one's

self, honor, assets and homeland. Also, Jihad is interpreted as the struggle against evil, internal or

external of a person or a society. 

KINDS of Jihad

Learn, teach, and practice Islam in all aspects of one's life at all times to reach the highest and best education

in order to benefit oneself, family and society.Be a messenger of Islam everywhere, in every behavior

and action.Respond to the call for Jihad with money, effort, wisdom

and life; yet, never fight a Muslim brother, a Muslim country, or a non-Muslim society that respects its

treaties and harbors no aggressive designs against Islam or Muslims.

This AltHist is a live timline about what would happen if when the WTC got destroyed, and when the USA declared the War on

Terrorism, the Arab countries declared a Jihad against the US and its allies, and the Buddhist countries.

Jihad and Terrorism

differences between Jihad and terrorism1. Jihad is limited to combatants while terrorism

involves indiscriminate killing of civilians 2. Jihad, when the need arises, is declared openly,

while terrorism is committed secretly.3. Jihad is bound by strict rules of Islamic manners

while terrorism is not bound by any rules

All terrorists are Muslim ??

Terrorists are not Muslims, they think they are. They fight in the name of Islam when they have yet to see the beauty of it.

Suicide under any pretext is not condoned as Jihad in Islam.

Converting people to Islam by force or coercion is never Jihad but a crime, punishable by law.

There is a difference between a Muslim terrorist and a Muslim that is not a terrorist.

Terrorism

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organised group against people property with the intention of

intimidating societies or governments, often for ideological or politics reasons.

CONCLUSION

• Throughout my research I understood that one person cannot represent his race,religion or the society he lives in.

• But most people arent like this that’s why there are so many stereotypes about different races and religions.
