Islam is here whether you like it or not.

Thats a fact. Islam will always be here no matter how much people criticize and bash it. Each year 20,000 people convert to the religion- and guess who those people are... young Americans born and bred in the U.S. Now I wonder what drew them to the religion? maybe its the fact they took the time to look into the religion and not look at what the extremists in the religion do.

Yes I agree there are extremists in Islam, but do they define what islam is about ? NO! Jesus peace be upon him was a messenger of God not his son! Jesus was human like you and me, but he had the honor to become a beloved messenger because he was a man of good character with a good heart. And ask yourself this question " if Jesus was God how could he worship God"? 3=1 doesn't make sense mathematically.

Why are Muslim in different countries mad because their countries are being invaded ... why did we invade Iraq. I know this totally of topic but why did we? Weren't the terrorists in Afghanistan? and why does our tax dollars fund Israel who kills innocents Palestinian children, woman, etc. I love America because this is my country and I'm American born, but I don't understand why do we meddle into other peoples affairs.

Remember Islam is here and growing, by 2020 its predicted that it will be the largest religion in Europe. Take the time to learn about Islam, don't rely on internet sources. Ask a Muslim before you judge. There are negative things I can say about other faiths if I choose to, but I chose to be a God fearing woman knowing that God knows my every thought and judgement. I also pray for all Muslims not to care what other people think and what they say about our religion...remember, only God can judge us.
