I think this is a great website where non-muslims can get a basic understanding of the religion.
Enjoy...

Doesn't this sound like a web site promoting Islam? Since you posted it, people can respond by liking and agreeing with it but people can also respond by criticizing it... you have to accept both. I think it's best to stay away from religious topics as much as we can...

I agree with Catwoman. I thought Mr. KeithL was the one complaining about anti-slamics.. is not this topic inciting members to give positive or negative opinions about Islam?

I think all religions start out good and with the best intent. It is people that manipulate religion to their advantage that bring unethical practices.
I posted this not to debate Islam, but only to show the base belief of the religion for the curious.

Thanx 4 the link. However as we say "ayinesi iştir kişinin lafa bakılmaz" "Actions speak louder than words", as long as the wrong practices of people continue, unless some aspects of the religion are revised to fit the era, the prejudice and misjudge about Islam are sure to continue as well.

Seems a little like propaganda.

Although I don't think this is an appropriate topic and post, I think we should give Keith credit for trying to win back our Muslim friends here who have felt mistreated here lately.
I think we still need to stay away from web sites that promote a certain political or religious view and focus on Turkey and language.

To anyone that reads this post, please know my intent. I am a lifelong Roman Catholic. I believe most of what my religion teches me, but not all of it. I think that all good people will arrive in heaven with their God no matter what your religion.
I posted this link as an olive branch to our muslim friends at this site to show that we are not against Islam and hope this very small jesture will make them rethink their decision and stay with us.
