1. It's a really beautiful religion when it's not being commandeered by people out for personal political or nationalistic gain.

2. I'm Jewish

2. I suppose I am a Libertarian?

7. Yes, right away.

Not asked: I have lived in no less than 4 countries from age 18 to 30, and worked in a half dozen more. Most of these have been working with Moslems or Buddhists.

1. For those that say islam is very destructive, newsflash- ALL RELIGION IS VERY DESTRUCTIVE. theres a difference between institutions and the people that practice the religion of that particular institutions. Institutions as awhole are destructive, ie, all the killing that the catholic church has done in the past [THAT IS COMPLETE AND UTTER TRUTH IF I GET A THUMBS DOWN FOR THAT I WILLBE VER ANGRY CAUSE THE DESTRUCTIVE PAST OF CATHOLIC CHURCH IS A FAAAACCCTTT GET OVER IT]

but people that practice religion peacefully are cool,cause thats what is meant to be done in thefirst place.

2. I was born a catholic, but I'm not sure i can identify with an institution that stated clearly inthe 10 commandments thou shall not kill but they did it anyway. I believe the world was created by a superior being but evolution helped it along. Is there a name for that?

to your edits, you cant call a religion bad or good. all religions have light and dark.

1. HIjacked by a group of extremists; I've met some great Muslims (actually here) and they are saddened by the violence that has been done in the name of their religion. Of course, this can be often applied to extremists, period.

1. It's a monotheistic religion and is based off of Judaism (and a bit from Christianity). It's a religion that preaches peace and kindness but is misrepresented, distorted, and misunderstood by many.

3. I'm democratic/liberal

4. I live in Canada

5. Born in Canada.

6. Spent most of my life in Canada.

7. I've spent the last few years, (can you guess?), Canada

8. No, I didn't notice. I was mostly looking at the text, not the numbers. Good trick.

9. I'm in my first year of uni. I'm majoring in psychology with a minor in science.

I think it's just a religion, but I do have some issues with it, namely because I was born in a Muslim family. I wish it allowed for full equality of the sexes and was in essence a 'progressive faith', rather than one that is so reactionary today. I wish the prayers weren't just in Arabic since I never understood it. I also wish they'd get rid of the current Salat form and allow for free worship; it's too formulaic and doesn't allow for a spiritual union with God. And most importantly, if God actually did exist, that'd be necessary.

I'm no religion (an agnostic).

I'm moderate, but very progressive on social issues.

I live in the United States.

I was born in Bangladesh.

I spent the past 19 years here in America.

And nope, just noticed that there are two #2s :)
