nasima,
i know it may be hard for you to describe yourself as 'muslim' as you have a stereotypical view of the word. i know that people 'lock off' when they see or hear 'islam' or 'muslim'

let me put it another way- do you SUBMIT fully to God? do you fullfil the purpose of God of putting us on this earth? that is the purpose of looking after the earth, each other and worshipping Him solely?

if you answer YES then you are in a STATE of SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD. or simply ISLAM in arabic. you fulfill YOUR PURPOSE. just like animals, plants, rocks, stars each fulfill their purpose.

can you now comprehend that Submission to the will of God, or islam in arabic, is the only religion that is logically correct?

nasima, if you uncomfortable with the WORD islam, then are you comfortable with calling yourself a SUBMITTER?

think, does christianity teach you anything else BUT SUBMISSION? if it does then what is YOUR purpose on earth?

ive always said that there are people who may not call themselves muslim, but actually are.

as regards your other point;
in the Quran it states that in regards to judaism, the jews edited and re-wrote part of their Holy Book, the Torah, for their own personal gain.
now ask yourself: what is the purpose of a prophet? are they not just warners and teachers? if judaism had not become corrupted, what would be the need of ANY prophets after Moses? ask yourself- what was the role of jesus if not to guide the jews back on to the straight path? if they were ALREADY on the straight path, jesus' role would be USELESS. do you see?
so what has happened through the dawn of Islam is simply what has happened from the time of the first prophet, Adam. the people have gradually strayed off of the straight path, and as God loves us, He sends more prophets as warners and teachers. but with islam, the prophet was not a jew or christian. in the quran it is written that a prophet was sent to ALL nations, speaking in their language and knowing their ways. Muhammad was sent to ALL nations as a mercy to guide us and show us HOW to be in a STATE OF SUBMISION.


Muhammad has made prophecies that Jesus will return as a muslim, after which everyone will be muslim. he will create a peaceful 'heaven' on earth.
also he predicted a great war which the proof of we can see now. very soon the world will be DIVIDED into muslim and non-muslim. these are the 2 great sides. i have read the by 2055 50% of the worlds population will be muslim, the source was a UN website.
