I am Muslim, not religious, and I am so dependent, live by myself in USA, with no family, friends, society pressure on what i believe and what i choose to be my guide. i searched for lots of religions, buddhism, and so on, and u know what, Islam was the most appropariate one. u know why, becasue it is excited, I have to work hard to prepare myself for a final test if i wanna pass, and at the same time i will be excited to see my grades what i have made. there is no religion in the world that gives me this excitement. christianity, u will go to heaven, anyways, since u believe in jesus. I tell you what, i believe in Jesus too, we know that there has been in one time, Jesus on this earth and tried to tell people the right way and the onenness of GOD.

I cant say christianity is not peaceful religion, but hey, look at europe, look at serbia, arent they christians who are fighting, read a little bit about history of christianity, see if they ever went to fight not only with other religions but with their same religion too. and it is very legitimate in daily life to defend your self, if somebody wanted to attack you or rob you. most political backgrounds of united states of america are derived from aristotle's critics. and guess what, most of his critics are also came from islam as well. aristotle says, "in order to live in peace you have to go to war", that explians a lot, think man, just dont false yourself.

it is really nice to hear from you all, that is a good step, for us to know each other's beliefs and ideas, so that we will not be misunderstood and misinterpret each others.

Thank you all!!!
