The "Sufi" version of mysticism.

The sense of brotherhood is one of its best aspects. The emphasis on submitting one's own will to the will of God is another.

That unfortunately is part of the process of senescence in religion. Christianity is also going through it, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, etc.., etc.
But the comment you made is hardly in the spirit of the thread.

They truly live their faith.

Not sure if this is applicable to Islam itself or just the governments that adhere to it but I find that when you politicize religion you can have some of the most immoral societies. That seems to be the norm with the Middle-East countries that are a majority, Islamic. Whether Islam itself makes this possible or not....?

That there is one God.
That that God is the God of Abraham.
That He loves us.

Ummmm....it looks like I put this post in the wrong spot. Probably doesn't refelect what I believe is right about Islam. Whether it is deleted or moved to the "What Do You Feel Is Wrong With Islam?" thread works for me.

Politicizing religion is never good. Too many doctors, nurses in the US have died at the hands of politicized Christians.

This thread'll be short-lived but thanks Sunstone for the effort. And I mean that really not sarcastically.

It saddens me that so many people know so little about Islam beyond what they don't like about it.
I wanted to learn more about Islam, so I checked the Qur'an out of the library and read it. I think one should learn about a faith and/or religion before s/he criticizes it.
Thats not nice
The good: such a beautiful religion in theory. Emphasizes Brotherhood, respect toward women, respect toward parents, and the value of peace and equality.
The Bad: Often misrepresented by bad people (media doesn't help). Often confused with other negative aspects of culture.
Yep, I think Islam is today's Communism
Reading the Qur'an gave me insight into how the media and terrorists have ruined the image of Islam. It's so sad.
