Islam

Islam is the second largest religion in the world. It is one of the three Abrahamic Religions. Islam is monotheistic, and believes in 'God', that's right, 'God'- the same one that Christian and Jewish people believe in. Only difference is they decided to be original and imaginative, and all of them call him by the Arabic name for 'God' Allah even if they aren't Arab. Muslims are usually separated into three factions; Shiites, Sufis and Sunnis and each one of these has many sub divisions. And the different sects sometimes kill each other. Just like Christian sects.

Churches for the worship of Islam are called mosques. Prayer is done on a prayer mat.

To become a Muslim you must say (and believe,) "There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet." Making the declaration is easy. You can make the declaration before you understand what you're letting yourself in for. However, if you change your mind after you’ve said this, you're considered an apostate and apostates can be executed. Many neocons and Christian conservatives claim that Islamic extremists are the largest threat facing the world today, and assert that therefore every Muslim should be suspected of being a terrorist and their countries -or any country that supposedly supports them e.g. France- invaded ASAP. Actually, when you think of it, Islamic extremists are just like conservative Christians, And, other, equally abundant, radical Christians.
