    Islam as nomenclature refers to the Muslim faith.

    Peace the chimp,

    I don't feel people are intentionally being rude or arrogant although at times these differences can be heated and you seem to write/reply on too many topics quickly; perhaps a point/topic at a time and write concisely why you disagree ? instead of it's always been this opinion simply elaborate in detail then perhaps brother Ayman and others can reply to that particular point, otherwise we're all over the place looks like spam/noise.

    E.g. please explain what word in English best describes/translates as Muslim or what does it mean in Arabic?

      The fact that Quran is in Arabic is far better reason to keep with Arabic. And what is wrong with Arabic? After all God chose to send his message in Arabic.

      Arabic is Muslim language and has been. As I have already said . . . all understand if you say "Salah" - Allah and etc.

      RED There is nothing wrong with Arabic.
      BLUE This because of doctrination by long time periods.

      Btw do you understand what I mean "Arabization"?
      Arabazation is not limited within languages but also for cultures.This phenomenon occur together with spread of Islam.

      I give you example

      1. In my region "Nusantara", the Arabic language influeced our languages.Main language spoken in Nusantara is Malay.

      Indonesian language = Malay + Java + Arabic + English + Sanskrit + Portugese
      Malaysian language = Malay + English + Jawi + Arabic + Sanskrit + Portugese
      Bruneian language = Malay + English + Jawi + Arabic + Sanskrit + Portugese

      The Jawi Script using Arabic.

      1. Some of Muslim even they're not Arab adobted Arabic for their name.

      2. Music like nasheed is popular among muslim communities especially for concervatives

      3. etc

      Peace

        Peace,

        Huh? You said something which was arrogant and I just continued on the list. And Shaytaan said like you think. There has been little offense in my posts. At best you were offensive and I returned the offense by adding a line to your

        1. More knowledgeable
        2. Way smarter

        And I added

        1. And more arrogant

        You you deny the reply was untrue based on the first post?

        I know it was a bit sarcastic but could not help it on such a lame post. So retarded. But go to you creed and I will have mine.

        Peace

          You can hardly be the best judge of that? As you are accused of being guilty . . . and it is NOT you being offended. So offending others and then saying you are not offensive . . . but calling others "arrogant" . . .

          Hmmm . . . that is ARROGANCE!


          I know it was a bit sarcastic but could not help it on such a lame post. So retarded. But go to you creed and I will have mine.

          So you quite enjoy calling others "retarded" yet . . . do not see this as offensive!


          It is a FACT that . . . I am better educated and smarter than you. It has easily been proven.

            I thought I was going to find a relevant and interesting nugget of information. Yet, having only read the last post, I feel as though I have stepped into a primary school playground.

            Salaam.

            Sajda.

                Come on, brother, there's no need for such comments.

                We should not lose sight.
                We should not fight.
                We should hold on to the rope nice and tight.
                We should unite.

                    ya Allah = call on Allah for assistance, is the best expression of exasperation, but you already know that!

                        On the other hand......

                          That is true. Saying jeez is using Jesus' name, even if by slang.

                          I usually say "oh Lord God". It may be more righteous.

                          God bless you

                            What is important is what we mean when we utter what we utter. The intention is the important thing.... not the etymology of the uttered word/expression. Then of course, there are expression, although innocently uttered, that we perhaps better refrain from using... like "bloody hell"... or worse...

                            Uttering 'jeez' doesn't mean we call on Jesus... and just because we celebrate Christmas it doesn't mean we believe Jesus was more than a human man, and it doesn't even mean we commemorate Jesus birth at all, whether as God incarnate or as just a human messenger.

                            Peace

                              You are getting extremely petty . . . following me around and leaving nasty comments just for the sake of it. You do not know much or have answer . . . like all your brethren resort to making up nonsense.

                              Rather than highlighting your inadequacies - try staying quiet.

                                It did start off as an abbreviation of saying Jesus - but not saying "Oh Jesus" . . . and it is better than you sing "Jesus Christ" as a an expression to express surprise or annoyance.


                                I don't particularly have any problems saying Jesus Christ! other than to showing disrespect or taking his name in vain.

                                    Definitely agreed.
                                    I felt I just wanted to exclaim my own idea. I fully understand your point of view. I often take a similar standpoint.

                                    The tricky part is that we very often cannot know the other party's real motivation... we only guess, and then judge as per our own ideas and assumptions. This is what we all do. All "sides" accuse the "other side" based on conjecture. It's the trademark of the human being.

                                    Peace and best wishes!

                                          I read the first chapters.
                                          I couldn?t almost believe what I read.
                                          Its like everything just falls into their places, where they was intended to be from the beginning.

                                          I think that you are one that make what we all really purposed to do Trying to make the gods plan come through.
                                          May he really use you a lot.

                                          Wishing you all the best.
