Assalaam Alaikum.
I wanted to thank you for this wonderful site. I must say that I claim no specific religion as I don’t agree with the Christian view of Jesus (may peace be upon Him) nor the tendency of so many to look for God only on Sunday, I am not Jewish as I don’t know enough about the religion and don’t agree with their view of Jesus (may peace be upon Him) and I am just now looking more in depth at Islam.
My search of Islam, at least a deep look, began because I am writing a paper for a college critical thinking course and chose to title the paper “The Christian Jihad.” While I did not know a lot about the Islamic faith I knew that the comments regarding intolerance and hatred of the faith were false and unsubstantiated. The only proof regarding this view lies in the few and the radicals that are found in every faith. The basis of the paper came when I heard a classmate discussing the current situation in the Middle East and he commented that “You don’t see Christians going around killing innocent people.” Well my first comment was “These are a FEW that distort Holy Scripture to fit their desire” and the second what “Ever hear of the Inquisition and the Crusades?”
It has been a difficult search to find positive liturature on Islam, both in published test and on the web. I again thank you for both a positive source that uses the Qu’ran and Hadith (as well as other writings and sources) inwhich to source my paper and as a source that I may use to benefit myself in the teachings of Islam. There isn’t anything outside of Christian Churches in my area. There may be a single Jewish temple in the county. I must also make a short note that I attend a Private Catholic University. However the professor for this course is open to any view, was raised in Washington DC and has many friends which are Muslim.
Sincerely,
Angela

At 30 years old, Islam is pretty new to me and I think an islamic retreat would be a good introduction, how can I find information about retreats closer to London, England?

Why don’t more Muslims express outrage at the rantings and more importantly the terrorist acts that are carried out by Muslim extremists?

When you lost all hope
How did you cope?
Did you get the rope
Did you get the dope
Did you call the Pope?
If you got the rope
You lost all hope
And were a dope
Now you can’t say yes or nope.
Did you call your friends
Let them in
Tell them your sins
Trying to get hope in again?
Did they stay friends in the end?
Did you break out and exercise?
To make you feel better inside
Did it take fat off your thighs?
Make you a smaller size?
Did you call Dr. Doo
Tell him something’s wrong with you
Did he tell you to eat chicken soup
Hand you stronger dope than the drug dealer dude?
Did you turn your life to crime
Allow the devil to control your mind
Did you have to do hard time
Try to do better next time.
Did you reach inside
Take the devil for a ride
Allow yourself to tremble inside
Play it cool through the stormy tide?
What ever you chose to do
To make it through
Now you get to play after school
Doesn’t that feel cool?
If you chose the rope of fools
Schools over for you weak minded tools
You don’t get to enjoy this drool
Or ever again play after school
Now don’t you feel like an endless fool
