ISLAM: MUSLIM
RELIGION
-largest muslim population: Indonesia 203 million. 1 in 5
muslims in the world today are Arab.
-Islam requires men and women both to dress modestly.
-the U.S. does not conduct a census on religion
-Mohammed is a man. His words are often used as guides
because he lived fully unto God. He is considered one of the last messengers of
God. Muslims do not believe that Jesus was divine. They believe in the way that
Jesus lived and his life lessons.
-The Qur’an is in Arabic.
-Mosques are open for all 5 daily prayers. Fulfills both
social and religious functions for the community. Welcomes all faiths. Separate
entrances for men and women.
-Allah is simply the word for God .
-estimates state that more Arab Americans are Christian.
JIHAD: literally is the word for struggle, not war.
-when
we have fear we are reflecting our own insecurities
Culture is far more powerful than religion. How people act
is much more because of culture and not religion.
Islam=means
to submit
Muslim=one
who submits
Allah=god
Qu’ran=bible
