I consider myself a Christian, but there are many times that I have encountered some false assumptions about Christianity. Not only that, there are some representatives of the Christian faith that put Christianity in a bad light that often give a false impression as to what Jesus actually taught. We are constantly battling an image that is often created about our faith through many sources including media, atheism, sensationalistic preachers, etc.... How often have we said, "but that's not REALLY Christianity"?
It occurs to me that many Christians, including myself, may not know too much about the Islamic faith. Perhaps we could learn a little bit more about another faith together?
Maybe we could start by setting right any misconceptions about Islam in order to educate ourselves? I realize that we are mostly NOT muslims on this site, and even though I wish that wasn't so, I only ask that we keep this post informative rather than political. If we do have any muslim members, I/we would be greatly appreciative for your participation.
What do you know about Islam that has surprised you? Have you ever assumed something about Islam that you found out later wasn't true?
