    With so many of the world events showing that some Muslims have lost the fundamentals Iwould like to provide some ayyats that describe the fundamentals of doing good deeds as one of the requirements of success in both worlds and that doing the opposite (evil deeds) results in the hellfire.

  • The original bible in Aramaic is reportedly found with huge contradictions to the current Church authorized Bible
    If the dating turns out to be correct this is the copy that the Church should adopt although it is highly unlikely it would be accepted.

A secret Bible in which Jesus is believed ...

The Syrian people, or at least the majority of them don't want the instability and su...
  • Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
    This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate sites that people use to attack Muslims over). I'm not attacking any other religion though, I'm just putting it into perspective for the readers, ...
  • Qur'an Surah Revelation - Location Which Surah was revealed in Madinah/Makkah(Mecca) ?
    I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other. Especially because anti-Islamists try and take a few select verses from the Qur'an out of context in order to convince others that Islam is violent and intolerant to non-Muslims. We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...
  • Reply about China, Islam and Christianity
    RPearce says: Yes, Mulims in China are free to build Mosques, in exactly the same way Christians are allowed to build Churches. And, just like with Priests, all Imans are approved by, and then appointed by, the Chinese state. You will find lots of sites complaining about the Chinese restrictions on the Christians. ======== In France, they have strict restrictions on Imam's, you need to have a Master's to be an Imam. In other Western countries they pla...
  • More comments on racist hate crime attack in Courtenay BC
    I'm glad to see there are a lot of tolerant posters here. There are a lot of white supremacists who are trying to justify this. My grandparents as immigrants from China are familiar with these tactics, and so are many other groups including Indians, Italians, Ukrainians, Africans and all other minorities. I highly doubt a Hamburger was thrown, and whether it was or not is irrelevant as some said. This is a hate crime, and they didn't hide it like some...
  • Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, mainly Muslim/Islamic
    Ifound this information useful, they have different religions and ethnicities in Xinjiang, and most are Muslims. http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm It does not make sense that if China is attacking Muslims, why the other groups are not complaining. It seems that the Uighur's are as a majority have a separatist movement going on. It's unfortunate that so many are swayed into the idea of separatism when China has respected Islam throughout th...
  • Response to anti-Islamic attack which calls for persecution of Islam and Muslims
    Dannyboy56 said: The problem about Jihad is that it is a serious and is exists. It won’t go away by itself. Even if a small percentage of the Muslims are turning radical, that small percentage is too much of a threat if that radicalization translates into violence. ==================== Before I start I want people to know I'm responding to the context of how Muslims are treated in the West, not in China. Because in China I never had any problem as a Muslim....
  • Response to anti-Islamists and anti-Chinese on the Xinjiang Violence
    Microbear77 says: Islamists will have a hard time making headways in China because China doesn't care what other people think of their measures. They do what they feel is best for their country. If Islamists want to prod China they may realize to their chagrin that it won't turn out their way. ============================= People posting anti-Islamic sentiments could be doing it for not only religious reasons but racism as well. I am saying it in this conte...

Yes, every religion calls for peace and harmony, but what if you can not pratice your relligion freely, and you are discriminated just because you are a muslim. As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...
  • Response to anti-Islamic and Islamophobic comments
    FreeCanada says: The problem about this is that Islam isn't a religion it is a culture and won't rest, till Shariah law is law of the land and those not abiding by ALLAH are prisioned and stoned. ================================ I am a Chinese Muslim who was born in Canada and think I can offer a unique perspective and information. I take exception with your comments, because it generalizes all Muslims as thinking that way, when that is not the case. For...
  • Another example of Hadith introducing beliefs that contradict our Qur'an
    This is another shameful example of the confusion Hadith introduce to Muslims.Let's remember that there are thousands of Hadith, and even the so-called authentic Hadith authors, admit they've done their best to compile what they believe are authentic Hadith.The fact is that even Bukhari admits, even his collection may not be perfect.Further, the Hadith quotes the sister (link below) has found completely change the fundamentals taught in the Qur'an of marriage and decency....
  • Rebuttal to anti-Islamists over the state of Israel
    This is just in response to the anti-Islamists who have been copying and pasting from anti-Islamic hate sites to miscontrue Islam.The Qur'an does not allow for any violence except in the case of self-defense, in fact the Qur'an repeats over and over that if the enemy (in times of war) wants peace, you can't continue fighting.This issue has nothing to do with Islam, it has to do with occupation and the Zionist leaders in Israel wanting a "Jewish" majority, and Ra...

  • More Debates about Violence In Islam
    Our response:I'd like to reply first of all by saying you cannot take random verses out of the Qu'ran and come to a conclusion. You have also just picked keywords and phrases out of the verses, some of which end by stating violence can only be used against those who fight you, and not those who offer you peace.We could find the same conclusion by analyzing the Bible or the Tor'ah (there are sites out there just like hate...
  • Media's Portrayal of "Islamists"
    According to dictionary.reference.com the word islamist means: An Islamic revivalist movement, often characterized by moral conservatism, literalism, and the attempt to implement Islamic values in all spheres of life. The religious faith, principles, or cause of Islam. What is interesting is that instead the media chooses to portray or only show those Islamists who use violence, or associate it with some kind of global movement...
  • The Prophet Muhammad Had Nothing To Gain By Challenging The Existing Leaders
    Many anti-Islamists charge the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him), with being an egocentric tyrant among other things, insisting that his only goal was to deceive people and that he invented Islam himself and that he did not receive divine revelation as Jesus had.The biggest flaw with that argument is the obvious point that they would never mention. Muhammad already had protection and influence because of a wealthy Uncle.He risked the life of his fri...

    My response to a viewpoint article from Tom Velk on CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_velk/20050805.html I agree that countries should not allow hate-mongering and other illegal activities from any people but to point the finger at every immigrant and belittle Islam while ignoring other forms of terrorism and the true causes is irresponsible and anti-Islamic in nature. Throughout the world, whether it be the news or on-line forums, people are quick to ...
  • Allah is GOD in "Aramaic", the language Jesus spoke
    Allah is GOD in "Aramaic", the language Jesus spoke With Ramadan around the corner (generally accepted as tomorrow if the new moon is sighted) I felt like doing some research and it turns out what my friend said is true (god is "Allah" in Armaic") and hopefully the Christians that knock on my door every few months will come back soon (although they promised to visit soon last time we spoke). It is a historical fact that Jesus spoke the "Aramaic" language so n...

But Abrihams article “The Fools they are” caught my eye. He mentioned the 16th century Miller, Mennochio who was eventually killed by order of Pope Clement the 8th.

Of course, the main thing is that they are helping. How many Muslim organizations out there are there i...

    Hello UniteIslam! I accidentally came across your website one day after seeing a very upsetting article on the CBC website. It was by a Mr. Velk. He is one of their regular writers and has written many articles. The most recent one that I read from him, bothered me so much that I had to write in to CBC. He was stating the Canada should adopt American and British policies regarding ‘Terrorists’ and immigration. And we all know who those policies will specifically target, MUSLIMS. Anyways,...

This type of reporting is causing all sorts of trouble in the Muslim communities. They never say Christian KKK...
  • The Worst People.
    The Worst People. By Areeb Yasir. It was long ago, in the days of Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him), that everyday citizen’s of Islam cared for their fellow brothers and sisters. They took into their homes, fed, and clothed, gave money to the poor and loved one another. Doing what was right, was the main focus of that time, following Allah and doing right. That time has passed, dead with the ancient people, buried in the sand. We have long f...

    I went through an interesting experience on a forum that I enjoy reading through about my favorite car. This is the same day I read that Islamophobia is on the rise in America. (see http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050511/w051194.html) I went through a forum where someone survived a horrific crash and actually walked away. Eventually people mentioned god must have intervened and a few people disagreed but there was no real hostility. However, one person mentioned they ...

    It’s easy to gossip. Occasionally it’s harmless and unintentional, other times it’s aimed. A pattern of gossiping for the deliberate reason to humiliate person(s) has become habit in the Muslim community. So much; that it’s developed into reflex. This effortless chat is strictly forbidden because it arises suspicion of perhaps innocent individual(s) or distort truths with intentional (and unintentional) add on’s. As stated in (24:19 Yusif Ali) Those who love (to see) scandal published broa...

    Facts About Islam

    Muslims Don't Have A Different God

    Many people think Muslims believe in their own god called "Allah" but the literal translation is just "God".  Muslims believe there is one god and one true creator and that it is the very same god the Christians and Jews believe in.
