(I've switched to replying down in the reply section) Well, after recieving a few pms and questions, I've decided to make this thread. REMEMBER! This thread isn't intended to force my religious views on anyone, criticize your views, or anything of the sorts. Its intended to clear up misconceptions so that we can make the world a more peaceful place, even if its just 1 person, it makes a difference. With that in mind here we go: (P.S I'll add stuff to FAQ in a bit, ask questions if you want) Q&A NightSin22 : How do you feel about sharia law being enforced by some european countries? Muslims shouldn't be going into other people's land and enforcing their laws. They should practice Sharia laws within their own homes, exercise the freedom they're given, or return to their homeland if that isn't possible. Nonexistent : Did you choose to be muslim or are you muslim because your parents are? If you choose to be, what made you choose this faith? If not, would your parents hate you if you were to convert to some other religion? P.S. Sorry if these are too personal. You don't have to answer them. Hmm well at first I was born muslim, and at a point of my life I started resenting all religion in general. However, after my own personal research, I found that Islam was possibly the best choice due to its mix of science and morals. If I converted/became an atheist, my parents would probably be mad and show resentment just to get me to convert back, but at the end of the day, the love is still there. Hopefully that helped, if not just ask a follow up. Karamazov : Why can't extremists just get along? Extremists do get along, and thats the problem. They form organizations which bring havoc and terror to both muslims and non muslims, but at the end of the day they're hated by everyone. I honestly wouldn't call them extremists because after analyzing them, they aren't muslim in the first place. If a muslim murders one innocent person, it is stated in the Quran that it is as big a sin as commiting genocide on all humanity. And even during times of war, a muslim MUST NOT lay a finger on a single woman, child, or elderly person. Clearly these so called "Muslim Extremists" aren't muslim, since they don't obey any of these orders. xknight1001 : Do you wear that funny turban thing that makes it look like you're hiding a tumor? Nope. To be honest, muslims don't wear turbans, those would be people of the Siikh(Spelling?) Faith. However in some parts of Arabia, they may wear these (Not sure what the english word is) cloth like things to protect them from the intense heat. Keep the questions coming Time to work on the FAQ

Is your hair constantly wet? Because you always wear towels on your head, obviously to dry your head.

Why does ever Islamic basiler with an opinion feel the need to create a Q&A?

ButteredToast : Is your hair constantly wet? Because you always wear towels on your head, obviously to dry your head. As stated above, muslims don't wear turbans, those would be Siikhs. Also, turbans aren't made from the same material as towels. If I lived in hot weather tho, I prolly would be dippin my head in water every few mins :P @Angra, Well it is an open forum, and there are 50+ islamic basilers so its not everyone of us. Besides, how many christians/atheists/other people have made threads regarding this topic. This is probably only the second one this month at the most. @Knight, I wouldn't know, go ask a terrorist.

icehawk27 : What kind of food do Muslims like to eat? I believe pork is off-limits. EDIT: After looking at a lot of these questions, I must say, trolling fail.

This is probably only the second one this month at the most. Within the time that I have been using BasilMarket, Christianity has seen two Q&As, Islam has seen five and Satanism has seen one. All of which, save the last, have been shameless evangelism.

Have you encountered any "All-Muslims-Are-Terrorists" racists in every day life?

takeyb0y2 : Is it really in your religion that you HAVE to have 7 kids? Nah, you don't have to have any kids at all to be honest. Depending on your geographical location however, it will usually influence how many kids you chose to have. If you live in a more industrialized country such as the states, you'll probably have no more than 1 or 2. Spork : Have you encountered any "All-Muslims-Are-Terrorists" racists in every day life? Pretty much yeah, ever since 9/11 there's been alot of hate. It really sucks, I mean Asians hate it when they get stereotyped for being smart, I WISH people would use that stereotype on me. Instead : well the situation is alot worse than you may imagine. dannyyang525 : y do muslims hate america? Well, to be honest, most of us don't. I love America, I love all my freedoms and such. The problem with some muslims is that America is funding Israelis, and Israelis use that funding to kill lots of innocent palestinians.

dannyyang525 : y do muslims have like HUGE noses? Islam is a religion for people all around the world. White people, Asian people, Arabs, and Africans. By saying this you would be saying that all humans have huge noses.
