First questioner asked:
What has American influence done to your religion and practices? I would like to know why follow Mohammed because he was a prophet and not follow Jesus if he was a prophet also-in the abasence of his teachings (book), no one can follow him (Jesus)? Why do do you make the woman cover everything?
Second questioner asked:
what is the basic, or most important things to believe, that would define one as a muslim, and different from other religions? And how have these basic beliefs changed your lifetyles? What profit, and what loss, if any?
Is it true that in Islam you "hate" those who hate you (i.e., eye for an eye)? And you aslo hate those who are "not like" you (i.e. different beliefs)? Why would Allah teach you to hate other humans, who were created like you? What is your concept of "inner peace" and peace with humanity? Does anyone hear the voice of Allah speaking to them? if so, when do you hear it(e.g., during prayer, or reciting a hadith, etc.)?
