What is Islam?

In arabic the word Islam means "to submit yourself to God." A Muslim is someone who submits their life to God. Their is an estimated population of 1.2 billion Muslims in the world, less than 20% live in the Middle East.

I recommend the Prophet of Doom website, as it exposes Islam from its own textual resources. To say that Islam is a peacefull religion, just ask anyone who left Islam how they are treated by their "family" or turn on the news and see the latest violence.
