IS THE RELIGION OF ISLAM PEACEFUL
BY NATURE AND TERRIBLY EXPLOITED
BY A FEW FANATICS...

...OR IS THE CORE OF THIS RELIGION TROUBLED BY ITS
TEACHINGS AND INTERPRETATIONS AS A WHOLE?

It is the purpose of this webpage to produce information [found
on the World Wide Web] of a pro-versus-con nature in an effort to allow
the reader to make up his [or her] own mind.

 *Although the creater of this webpage has his own opinion already made up from past experiences and studies, it is not his intention to influence the reader's decision in any way. Obviously, the easiest way to learn more about the religion [or sometimes referred to as "a way of life"] of Islam is to buy a copy of the "Holy Qur’an", read it, and come to a conclusion thereby...as the creator of this webpage has done.

Observant Muslims pray five times a day and join in community worship on Fridays at the mosque, where worship is led by an imam. Every believer is required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest city, at least once in a lifetime, barring poverty or physical incapacity.

"Islam is a faith that brings comfort to people. It inspires them to lead lives based on honesty, and justice, and compassion."
