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.)?

Is a Muslim allowed to question the teachings of the Quran or is s/he to follow it to the word?

Muhammad is not the only prophet, there are others, even modern-day prophets (but not so-called). Why, then, does Islam choose only to follow those messages that were received by Muhammad?

Messages of modern-day teachings through messages received in a similar manner clearly state that no human being can interpret the messages 100% accurate and that messages are ALWAYS filtered through a persons belief system. Therefore, Muhammad's messages also reflect the belief system of his times.

How would a Muslim comment to this statement?

The Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the last Messenger and the final Prophet.

Modern-day prophets? lol. Do you believe that you are one? lol.
