I know many Muslims and my brother converted to Islam. All the Muslims I have met are hard working, educated, have good lives, family, good jobs and they are all nice people.
There are 2 billion Muslims in this world, I don't think any of the users here have met all of them to be able to have an opinion but I don't think its right for people to judge all Muslims if they've never met any or judge them by the actions of a few.

You're an ignorant little bigot. People like you should actually sit down and read some books about Islam before you judge. Unlike you, I have bothered to do my research. Muslims believe in the oneness of God. That he is the creator of this universe and so he cant be part of creation - which is why they don't believe Jesus is the son of God. God is the English name for God while Allah is the Arabic name for God - how ignorant you are.
Muhammad, just like Moses and Jesus is a messenger of God. Abraham had two sons. Ishmael and Isaac. Muhammad descended from Ishmael and he born in the Arabian Peninsula where the Arabs were divided into different tribes and were always at war with each other, they had no morals, there was no law and order and no government. These Arabs before Islam worshiped all types of idols, oppressed women, buried baby girls alive, oppressed the poor and needy. Muhammad came and changed all that. He got them to worship God only, he set down laws and so forth. Because of the tribal condition he lived in, Muhammad had to take part in battles with the pagan arab tribes - it's common sense to defend yourself, your people and your land from those who try to kill you and your people it's what many European countries would do.
@DaddyWisdom I am sorry you had some sort of terrible childhood or something. But I think perhaps you should educate yourself on why these things are haram.
Muslims must pray 5x a day to God and so therefore they have to keep themselves clean and wash all their body, tattoos don't allow the water to reach all the parts of the body...and why the hell would you even have tattoos? if you want to draw, draw on a piece of paper. Music is not actually haram but only those with swearwords, women dancing around half naked and just overall with bad messages. Homosexuality is a sin in all religions but any Muslims who are gay should just move to the West. Adoption isn't haram actually but the adopted child should always keep his father and mothers second name, he/she should also be told that they are adopted. Women CAN go outside without a man I don't know where you got that from because I always seen Muslim women going out and about and working too....so you're wrong about that. The Qur'an says men & women who are emotionally and psychically ready should get married and choose their own husband. Thousands of years ago it was common for girls as young as 6 to be married off but know the marriage age should be raised to 17 in all countries. Polygamy was allowed back then due to the fact that women couldn't support themselves financially and needed a man to rely on. But Muslim men can have 4 wives if they can treat all of them equally and provide for all of them equally. Thighing isn't allowed before marriage....you can do that after marriage though - this hadith is false by the way. Lying is also forbidden and only allowed for certain situations e.g. if your life is in danger, otherwise if you lie continuously to others for no reason you can be sent to hell.
That not every single muslim is a terrorist and so everyone deserves dignity.
That terrorists are not automatically evil; there is a heck of a bigger picture going on. If ones have been stamped down and repressed for many years, and deal with mockery on a daily basis, eventually they break and cause devastation!
My opinion is, like Christianity, it's a hate group. But its followers will eventually die, as will the religion itself, in a few hundred years. Just like no one follows the religions of ancient Egypt or believes in Zeus or Thor any more.
I think that Muslims practice a false religion. First, Allah is not God. Second, the "prophet" Muhammad was a man unworthy of veneration because he was violent, nasty, and wicked. Because of the misleading examples of "righteousness" that their faith sets before them, Muslims frequently do evil in the name of good, and much of the evil they do is of a violent nature, which makes them a threat, an enemy, to all other peoples. Those who are therefore enemies of Islam are not so by choice, but by necessity arising from the fact that Islam is a wellspring of evil in the world.
They, like christians are frightened dupes, forced to pay for the clergy's atrocities with their money, and held prisoner by their religion. So scared, so simple, so wrong...

I don't have a "one-size-fits-all" attitude on Muslims, because their number
includes various kinds - from peaceful individuals, to criminals who thieve
whatever they can get away with, to irrational hate-filled terrorists. The real
problem is not unlike that faced by the earliest Roman Catholics, who also
found themselves under the control of a savage barbarian sect, that forced
"conversions" and kept members' allegiance by fear of torture and/or death.
Neither organisation was built upon the living God's principles of truth, love,
forgiveness and peace .. neither is led and guided by the Holy Spirit.

How many Christians do you know who gather 5 times a day for prayer as a matter of routine?
There are over 1.5 billion Muslims. I don't have an opinion of them. I do have opinions of individual Muslims - they vary significantly...
Some are good, some are bad, but I'd prefer to keep them out of America for the next four years, but I overall still don't like Donald Trump.
Not a religion that can coincide with modern world values. It is un-reformable because of the belief in its perfection.
Things that are "haram": Music, Gay Marriage, Tattoos, Adoption, Women going outside without a man, women having their own careers, etc.
Things that are "halal": Marrying children, polygamy, "thighing", lying (Taqqiya), etc.
They, like christians are frightened dupes, forced to pay for the clergy's atrocities with their money, and held prisoner by their religion. So scared, so simple, so wrong...
