    understanding and acceptance of Islam is not something that can be acquired that easily
    its a very confusing subject
    there are many many misconceptions, false ideas and perceptions
    its a difficult journey

    just curious, what led you to the Islamic faith? Just curious. As with any form of faith, I will also suggest that you look into the different options, pray about it and then follow that pull at your heart.

    What if I asked you are you Christian? Most people have a false sense of what these religions are...if you ever have questions about Christianity and wanna know what it is supposed to be then you can ask me any time.

    On topic, I am Muslim. Sounds to me like you’re very interested in it. Please just browse through google and do some research. It should be very easy to read about.

    I’m not one to preach religion but I’ll try this once to help you out just a bit.

    The Basics:
    Muslim believe all Christians and Jews are people of the same God and essentially are the same religion. They all preach “one god”. Issue arises because we believe they have been mislead over the years and their texts have changed.

    Generally, between these three religions Islam is considered to be the middle ground between the strict teachings of Judaism and the laid back views of Christianity. In Islam you will learn that moderation is key to this religion and regulations are set so to be easily incorporated into your life with little hardship.

    Lastly, the greatest aspect of Islam is that there have been absolutely no changes to the religion. You will find Islam to be the exact same across the entire world and across all nations. Every Quran is the exact same, there is no changes to it. This is said to be the greatest attribute to the religion.

    Learning everyday.

    Issues arise because <insert religious dogma here> believe <insert other religious dogma here> have been misled over the years.... I just found that comment interesting because it can be widely applied to any number of dogmatic religious belief systems vs another.

    Even though the texts have not changed those of the Islamic faith still don't universally agree with each other, and like many other dogmatic faiths they in some cases violently disagree with each other.

    Kind of on topic and kind of off topic.

    If you do decide to pick up a religion be very careful about the church/mosque/temple you decide to worship at. Religion is all about interpretation and as we have seen from the earliest times of organized religion, through the crusades, and into today, that interpretation is the difference between a faith that preaches kindness, tolerance, and charity, and the writings from the same book that teach violence and discrimination. You can visit three different places of worship within the same religious sect and find 3 very different messages.

    where do you live? that way we can recommend the closest mosque to you. The dowtown mosque Al-Farooq on the west 14th street would be a great place to start. They can provide a Quran in english as well.
