Shachar please, you don’t know the first thing about Islam,

The term ‘Islam’ only became definitive for Mohammedans about 200 years ago. It means submission, and signifies the minimal outward profession of faith, Mu’umin (believer) is the more common term, both in the Qur’an and in emic sources. Amun is a syncretist religion at heart, a characteristic which is reflected both in the Qur’an, and in the life-ways of many of its practitioners. It is not for nothing that Shabbetai Tzvi chose the Mohammedean faith as a channel through which to work on unifying humanity.

The first five steps of Islam are:

1: The outward profession of faith: La illaha illa Llah (Ein od milvado) Mohammed ar rasul Allah (Mohammed is the prophet of Allah)

2: Salat (5 daily prayers) - more of an ideal than a requirement

3: tzedaka

4: Hajji - more of an ideal - the Kaaba is often thought of as a place within - sort of the way “tzion” is envisioned in late Jewish and early christian thought

5: the Muezzin - the idea that people are unified through prayer

these are the very basic, elemental components of islam - but there is so much more - a lifetime of study would not suffice for you to learn it all

it is a shame that you define Islam by the selective interpretations of the late nationalistic ‘reformers’ (fundamentalists) because this their very goal: to make their watered-down, legalistic version of Islam the sole authoritative version - and force it upon muslims and westerners alike as the only interpretation - rejecting all mystical and humanistic tradition as “innovation”

The real irony here is that you are a very close counterpart to islamic fundamentalists; you are a close-minded, jewish fundamentalist

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual “sins.” Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a “false religion.” In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis.

John McCain actively sought and received Parsley’s endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley “a spiritual guide,” and he hasn’t said whether he shares Parsley’s vicious anti-Islam views. That’s because the mainstream media refuses to ask.
