Omario, yes that's so true. I guess with what happened in Sept 11th people have a misconception about Islam. Too many things going on with the muslims also and it's hard to really know what Islam beliefs are. (examples: stoning a person to death in case of adultery, muslims in Nigeria and the Miss World Competition, etc)
Heh, on the Miss World competition thing - you'd have to be plain stpid to hold a Miss World competition in a Muslim country in the middle of Ramadan lol. Muslims believe in modesty, rather than showing it all - and to try and go against that in a muslim country inthe month of Ramadan. man, that's just too stupid for words . Yes you're right though, there is many misconceptions. For example, stoning to death, or crap like that isn't in Islam 0 its Nigerian culture. The suicide bombings in Israel aren't in Islam. In fact, suicide is wrong in Islam:

So what're you saying is that Islam do NOT believe in stone to death to someone who commit adultery???
What I could not fully understand are those people who call themselves muslims and they kill hundreds of people in terrorist attacks. Example: Osama Bin Laden. I had the chance to chat with some muslims from Pakistan and other countries and I tell you...ALL of them defended Osama. I could not understand it. With all the proves of the way this guy thinks and act, I thought the Muslim community will stand and say 'This guy is not a muslim' because Islam do not believe in violence and the killing of one person is a killing for the whole humanity. But I don't hear that at all, instead I heard from muslims, all the opposite.
Can you explain me why?
