Myths About Islam
Saturday January 19, 2008
Islam is a widely-misunderstood religion. Those who are unfamiliar with the faith often have misunderstandings about its teachings and practices. Common misconceptions include that Muslims worship a moon-god, that Islam is oppressive against women, or that Islam is a faith that promotes violence. Here we bust these myths and expose the true teachings of Islam.

You have said very very true!

Is Bridgette Gabriel and her organization “American Congress for Truth” legitimite?
Misconception is only due to ignorance,never heard that muslims believe in moon god, though there are other misconceptions, for a true BELIVER misconception makes no harm to an individual.

Ignorance is the problem. People always have a tendency to talk about something they don’t know about. Read and learn before you speak…that’s some advice. (^__^)
salams…this is very true.. i am in America right now n i always feel threstened by people from other faiths.. some already have a permemnent mind-set as to wat our religion is about.. all i know is that a true muslim would not wish harm over another human being.. i tink eople should learn more about our religion b4 jumpin into conclusions. Allahu Akbarr..
Just a thought (and I know this is a Muslim site) but what myths do Muslims either believe or perpetuate about Christians/Christianity? And, on both sides of the spectrum are any of the myths based on a measure of reality?
Anne Nickerson this isn’t about american politicts. sallam aleikum
I think with any religion there are misunderstandings. It’s up to the person if they want to take the time to
find out about something that is diffrent to them..
differences are a bless.
it depends on how we accept differences. we’ve already known that islam is the last religion sent by Allah and it’s the perfect one.what we can do toward other religion is only by respecting it. this way, we refer to Surah 112:4.
In Islam is there four madhab?(shafi,hanafi malik,hambal)
this is quetion which has been asked by my
friends.
As Salaam Alaykom:
It is humorous in a sick sort of way. As a now non-practicing Muslima, I may be making more converts to Islam than I did before. Ha !
Being very knowlegable about both Christianity and The Islam, I often talk to Christians about Islam; their questions about Allah swt (I believe the Christian, Muslim and God of the Jews are one in the same), and about Isa pbuh (I believe Jesus and Isa pbuh are the same person.
In Portland, Oregon, it is fairly rare that one finds a Muslim who will even speak to a non-Muslim
I think that here, Muslims perpetuate their own so called persecutions.
