I will discuss the theory of religions
Religion Journal post #3 Islam
In North America ever since the 9/11 attacks and the war the religion of Islam has been questioned as a stange and diffuclut understanding... Today i shall go into why,how, and over all decrept this religion as in past journals... enjoy for this my be one of the harder topics as i explore this religion.
introduction into the religion of islam wahmbulance
The literal meaning of Islam is peace; surrender of one’s will i losing oneself for the sake of god and surrendering one’s own pleasure for the pleasure of a god. The message of Islam was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) 1, 400 years ago. It was revealed through angel Gabriel (on whom be peace) and was thus preserved in the Holy Quran(the islam bible in short). {if i remember correctly the angel Gabireil was also part of the christian religion (this is where islam and christainanty is connected in one way)}The Holy Quran carries a Divine guarantee of safeguard from interpolation and it claims that it combines the best features of the earlier scriptures of the quran.

the islamicpeople of this religion believe that each person is born pure. The Holy Quran tells its ppl God has given human beings a choice between good and evil and to seek God’s pleasure through faith, prayer and charityhince why most of them regularly bow at timed intervals every day. Islam believes that God created mankind in His image and by imbuing the attributes of God on a human level mankind can attain His nearness. Islam’s main message is to worship God and to treat all God’s creation with kindness and compassion. Rights of parents in old age, orphans and the needy are clearly stated. Women’s rights were safeguarded 1,400 years ago when the rest of the world was in total darkness about emancipation. Islamic teachings encompass every imaginable situation and its rules and principles are truly universal and have stood the test of time. i will finish researching more about this religion but thiers a pretty clean cut introduction...

Nice one.
I'd like to point out that islamism has more things in common with cristianism apart from being monoteist and Gabriel smile (ie.: they consider Jesus a prophet as well, and a lot of christian characters are also present in islamism -Adam, Mosses, Abraham...-).
And, as christianism, it holds a lot of stupid rules and laws which deprive humankind of freedom.


Religion is for people who can't cope with life without lying to themselves
