A lot of dumb Americans have negative misconception when I say I am Muslim!

And the same thing can be said about all groups that are based on beliefs.

Islam like Nazism is based on a political belief system, a political ideology.

And you lump Neo-Con Republicans together? Can you lump Constitutionalists together? Can you lump Leftists together? Can you lump Green Party types together?

Obviously to some degree you can.

Can Muslims eat pork? Can Muslims believe that there should not be Sharia law? Can Muslims believe that the Jewish people should live? That Israel can exist?

I am a christian but i have come to realize they are not many difference from chrisitans and muslims and in fact i would argue many muslims are better christians than christians. most american christians are not true trinitarians or at least we may be officially called that but i've grown up baptist my whole life and never knew it was trinitarian or what trinitarian was. I pretty much think Jesus was the only begotten son of God. I totally think God is God and the only God. I think the Holy Spirit is the power of God but not God in of itself. I think islam is the closest religion to christianity bar none. Its a lot closer than judiasm in fact islam is also closer to judiasm than christianity is.
