Islam and America: The Main Points - Introduction to Islam Class Homework Help?

[Duc]

I'm an international student in the United States and for my Introduction to Islam class, I have to do an assignment on The Life of Prophet Muhammad pbuh covering and answering all of these important points/questions. However, since my professor doesn't do a very good job at lecturing and doesn't give out good notes, I'm really struggling with this assignment right now and it's due in a few days so I'm in desperate need for help on it. Each of these important points/questions is worth 1 point so every point counts so if anyone can help me with any of these important points/questions, I would really appreciate it. Here they are:

1.) What does Islam offer to an average American? 2.) Deal with the misconceptions and how to correct them? 3.) How can Islam and Muslims contribute to the well being of America and why? 4.) How would you describe Islam and Muslims to an average American who knows nothing about them? 5.) What are the positive and helpful lessons we can learn from other communities who were the target of stereotypes in America in the past? 6.) How can we reduce the hate crimes against Muslims and others who look like Muslims? 7.) What should be the best way to educate the biased media to treat Muslims fairly? 8.) What are the responsibilities of the leaders of a super power towards the "oppressed, victimized and wrongfully treated people" of the world?" 9.) How can we as citizens of this great country correct the biased foreign policy of our country? 10.) How can we promote love and kindness and justice and fairness among all citizens of America? 11.) Evaluate the Muslim community after tragic attack of September 11, 2001. 12.) Where do you see the Muslims of America in the next ten years? 13.) What is the best way for Muslims to present their case that they or their religion has nothing to do with terror, violence, or innocent killing of anyone, anywhere?

Oh great, another long winded question. I'll give some answers since I have time, but don't expect anything serious from me since this is just so long.

1.) Death from a roadside bomb or a hijacked airliner.

2.) No misconceptions. The primary goal of Islam is to spread itself across the globe and, in the process, eradicate all other religions.

3.) By staying in their own countries and not blowing themselves up randomly.

4.) I would compare them to the crazy Christian cults we have right here in our own country. Only they tend to self-explode with more frequency.

5.) See how they adapted and became more like the rest of the Americans already living here, only leave out the religious fervor. Already enough of that to deal with.

6.) Convince the radical Muslims to stop blowing things up and giving the moderate Muslims a bad name in the process. Stop being so touchy about cartoons depicting Muhammad (poobah).

7.) When Muslims begin doing large community service projects to help the entire community, not just the Muslim community, it should get some air time. When Muslims go around blowing themselves up and flying planes into buildings that should also get air time.

8.) Being a super power does nat make you the neighborhood patrol officer. A country should act in accordance with the wishes of its populace, not the whims of its politicians. Take a vote and see if Americans are ready to leave Afghanistan or Iraq. Take a vote, should we send food and medicine to other countries that need it?

9.) At the polls we vote out the politicians who have practiced the art of lying and manipulation for years, and we put real Americans in office.

10.) By removing all forms of structured religion. Make it a personal choice and a personal issue.

11.) I saw them dancing in the streets and burning American flags. I watched them drag the dead bodies of American soldiers behind trucks in Somalia. I've seen enough of this peaceful religion to know that it's not very peaceful at all.

12.) In hiding from the extremist Christians and the political parties that still find it vogue to persecute them.

13.) By stopping the violence, terror, and innocent killings done in the name of Allah. By stopping the videotaped beheadings of non-Muslims with hunting knives. By spreading peace by helping their neighbors. By becoming a group of people that I wouldn't mind living in a neighborhood full of, instead of a people I generally despise and avoid.

The Great Muslim dilemma

The Christian Bible Says Jesus is God, and one with the Father


Muslims have no choice but to believe in the Christian Bible and the Apostles who wrote it. The Qur'an forbids anyone, on pain of shameful punishment, from making distinctions between the authority of the apostles and prophets of God, or from choosing between God's words. No one is permitted to believe in part and reject a part. Those who presume to do so, it says, are infidels in reality (Suras 4:150-152; 2:89; 42:13-15; 29:46-47). See Christian Bible references to who Jesus really is: here



Who is he talking about?

This Surah below shows how Muhammad had a complete misunderstanding of the Christian Gospel, and what the Trinity is. Apparently, Muhammad is referring to Christians. But his error here is that both Christians and Jews believe there is only One God. Muhammad also mistakenly thought the Trinity was the Father, Son and Mother (Mary).
- Surah 5:73-75, "They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three..."





Again, below Muhammad attests to the Torah's (Taurat) authority.
So, for Muslims to claim the Bible was corrupted is an argument already lost....

- In Surah 5:48 we are told that Muhammad is given the Qur'an as a confirmation of the bible; that is - it is meant to prove the bible's authenticity.... "And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it,"

Many Christians, especially Catholics, do use statues as "visual aids" when praying. Even Catholics do not pray to the plaster or wood, but are thinking beyond this to God, Mary and the Saints. No one is allowed by the Catholic Church to pray to images since they have no ears to hear or power to help us. The Catholic Church allows for the veneration (respect) of images as long as the honor is directed towards Christ and His saints.
Islamic law encourages Muslims to proselytize (convert others). Islam, however, clearly forbids others to proselytize to Muslims. This is because hearing the truth as revealed in the Christian Bible would weaken this false path to God (Islam).

Here is a speech from Pope Urban II to Christians from this Crusader era:

For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised to them. For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania (the Greek empire) as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends.

According to tradition, Muhammad was born in Mecca on April 20, 570 A.D. Shi'ites say he was born on April 26th. His full name was Muhammad Bin-Abdullah. At the time Muhammad was born Muhammad's father was the chief of the pagan worshipping tribe of Koreish. Muhammad's father was ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, of the family of Hashim (Shaiba ibn Hashim). ‘Abd Allah" means "slave of Allah". His father died soon after his son's birth--while he was out on a trading expedition. His father was the youngest son of Abdul Muttalib and the great-grandson of Kussai. Muhammad was orphaned early in his life after his mother Amina died and was raised by his grandfather Abdul Muttalib, then chief of the Quraysh (Koreish) tribe, and his uncle Abu-Talib beginning at age 6. Earlier, at about 5 years old while in the care of a Bedouin nurse named Halima Muhammad became subject to epileptic fits. The branch of the Quraysh tribe Muhammad belonged to was known as the Beni Hashem.

At the age of nine the boy Muhammad mounted a camel and went on a merchandising expedition into Syria. It was while with his grandfather and uncle that Muhammad learned learned to be lordly, and to exercise power, to fast, and to pray at certain specified times of the day. The Quraysh tribe prayed to idols at sunrise, noon, and at sunset; and they faced the direction of the idol black stone and the Kaaba.
