I'm sorry, but what is your point? I worship the devil? kinda over simplistic don't you think?

I was never a Christian although I have Christians in my family. I was raised a Jew actually. My father and mother converted from Christianity to Judaism when I was very young. My father then converted to Islam when I was 11. I converted that same year. I know no one who knows more about the bible than my father In his transformations he was looking for truth not the devil.

You people are really un-informed. over 20% of Muslims in the U.S. are converts. After September 11 the percentage of converts actually rose. I don't know if your another sour Hindu, or Christian. Since you mentioned Christianity, let's go with that thought.

You mentioned Nicaea, is where the doctrine of the trinity was first created. All other Christians who did not agree with the doctrine were killed.

I don't understand your 9 devil history. In the Quran it clearly tells us to beware of Satan who is to man an avowed enemy. Muslims are more aware of him more than any other religion on this Earth!!! You have some Christians who doubt that he exists, you will not find one Muslim that denies his existence. The devil is working on who? Are Muslims polytheists? Atheists?

A Few things My religion tell me:

1.) Worship one God, setting NO partners with him

2.) Fast

3.) Give regular charity/charity can be just a smile to those who cannot afford to give money.( allot of churches should remember that one when requesting their weekly tides)

4.) That paradise is at the foot of the mother

5 To stay away from materialism

6 To always remember Allah and fear displeasing him

7 To not fornicate

8 To not commit adultery

9 To be just

10 to not use of take interest

11 to not overeat

12 To take care of my children and breast-feed them for two years

13 to not insult the gods of others. Islam does not Insult ANY prophet of Christianity or Judaism. YOU WILL NOT FIND ONE MUSLIM who says that they Hate Jesus or any of the prophets. WE LOVE ALL OF THEM!! We accept ALL of the books that came from them!!! We are the most inclusive Monotheistic religion there is!!! You will never see a cartoons degrading them

14. To love all the prophets the same

15 Jesus is the Messiah as prophesied in the Torah. He will return to bring peace on the earth in the last days!!!

16 The best Husband is one who is the best to his wife

17 Stay away from all intoxicants

18 stay away from gambling

19 Honor thy neighbor

20 Honor thy guests( Muslims are known for their hospitality)

21 Keep close ties with your relatives

22 The best is those who restrain their anger

23 Allah does not like those who transgress limits set in religion or war

24 To prefer peace over conflict

25 To fight those who oppress you

26 To not force the religion on anyone( You can't force anyone to become Muslim!!! Islam is in the heart, not what the lips say. Forced conversions is the history of Christianity. During the Spanish Inquisitions, Jews and Muslims were tortured until they converted. When they uttered the words of Christ, they were killed so that they could not revert back from faith.

27 To live life as if you can see Allah. This is the highest of Faith. We all act differently when we know we are being watched. The Muslim should remind himself that all of his actions are being recorded at which he will account for all he has done.

28 If you murder a person it is as if you murdered all humanity, If you save a life, it is as if you have saved all humanity

29.don't steal

30 don't lie

31 be kind to those who are on their way to hell

32 all of the prophets are brothers

Just to name a few. The work of the devil? Check YOUR shoulder for him. He'll be there massaging the temples of your logical head..

The Bible actually has more violence in it than the Quran.You should check that out.

Peace Out
