    Thanks :) Its pretty fun, though I'm still kinda confused on where all the kingdoms are and who has which scroll xD
    I don't know the real reason, as I have no hate towards any other religion(Actually, I'm frustrated at the people who believe in the force and follow the religion of the "Jedi"). I guess there are people like that for every religion, like the one pastor who threatened to burn the Qur'an two separate times.

    Our religions are similar as Muslims believe, like all other religions, that ours is the correct faith. What is different is that we believe that at sometime in the past, the time of Moses, David, Solomon, and Abraham, that Judaism was the correct faith. Afterwards, during the time of Jesus, John the Baptist, and Noah, Christianity was the correct faith. From the time of Muhammad (Peace be upon him and all other prophets mentioned) and onwards, is supposed to be the time of Islam, the time of complete faith and submission. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of people truly believe in their religion nowadays...
    Islam teaches that it is a lot better to be a pacifist than to be aggressive. There is a concept of "Jihad", or holy war, but some Muslims take it the wrong way and since the west is predominantly Christian, they see it as suppressing the teaching of Islam, and try to destroy the face of the west (America). This holds true for a very small percentage of Muslims. Most of the ones that I know, myself included, blame the misconceptions on the media. Specifically, I'd say Fox News is the most untrustworthy source of information, but a couple other new channels and newspapers tell the world some things about Islam out of context, or just flat out lies.

    Islam teaches that there were 24,000, including Jacob, David, Noah, Abraham, Ishamael, and Jesus, and that the last and most important was Muhammad. There are also 4 Holy Books, the first being the Torah, the next was the original Psalms, after that the original Gospel, and finally the Qur'an. It says that the first three books were only for a set time period, and that the Qur'an is from when it came around, about 1400 years ago, to the Day of Judgement, the last day on Earth. It says that whenever mankind forgot about its purpose, a prophet, or messenger, was chosen to remind the whole of humanity that there is only one God, that He created all of us, and that we must worship Him, for it is to Him that we will are return.

    Now, as the religions continued, changes were made. Women had to be covered up (don't get me started on how it IS NOT sexist), the main prayer was changed from Sunday to Friday, prayer was mandatory five times a day, everyday, and a few other things. I think that people who haven't converted to Islam, yet truly believe in one God and that they are obeying His rules, are still Muslims, as the literal meaning of the word is "one who has submitted to God"

    Now, I'm by no means an expert in my religion, but I think I hit most of the main points.
    Yeah, I'd love to. Whenever discussing religion, I always want to get rid of peoples misconceptions about us, like the whole terrorist thing. I don't really have time now (School :( ) but I'll get to it sooner or later.
    Oh... I had the wrong image in my mind. My family is Muslim, so when the Mormons came to our door and started talking to us about their faith, my dad interrupted them and started teaching them about Islam...
    I've been doing good. Great actually, I just got some really good news from school. I've been accepted on a trip to NYC in May.
