Nothing against them, like any other demographic. I have a problem with people that wish harm on others.

Death penalty for apostasy
http://www. biblebelievers. com/chiniquy/cc50_ch67. html
“But the reader has the right to know something of the dangers through which it has pleased God to make me pass.
Rome is the same today as she was when she burned John Huss and Wishart, and when she caused 70,000 Protestants to be slaughtered in France, and 100,000 to be exterminated in Piedmont in Italy.
On the 31st of December, 1869, I forced the Rt. Rev. Bishop Foley, of Chicago, to swear before the civil court, at Kankakee, that the following sentence was an exact translation of the doctrine of the Church of Rome as taught today in all the Roman Catholic seminaries, colleges, and universities, through the “Summa Theologica” of Thomas Aquinas (vol. iv. p. 90). “Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them till, by a second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate to their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be exterminated.”
It is on account of this law of the Church of Rome, which is today in full force, as it was promulgated for the first time, that not less than thirty public attempts have been made to kill me since my conversion.” ………………………..
Whether in Saudi Arabia today – the Christian beheading capital of the world – just as it has been over the last 1400 years of Islam. The penalty for turning away from Islam is death. http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/apostasy.htm

Lying for God
From 25 year late 19th century priest Charles Chiniquy quoting Roman doctrine:
“It is often more to the glory of God and the good of our neighbor to cover the faith than to confess it; for example, if concealed among heretics, you may accomplish a greater amount of good; or if, by declaring our religion, more of evil would follow – for example, great trouble, death, the hostility of a tyrant.” (liguori, “Theologia Moralis, t. ii n. 14, p 117 Mechlin, 1845.)
This Roman church view of lying, as if for God’s benefit, is the very same as the Mohammedan concept of “taqiyyah”, or lying in the way of Allah – Islamic subterfuge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya
That Roman view is exposed in God’s Word:
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
But that would not be slanderous reporting of the Roman “church”. ________________________
Prayers of the heathen.
The Word of God instructs in the matter of prayer:
1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
This describes a relationship and constant communication with God through the Holy Ghost, not vain ritual.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Roman Catholicism is steeped in repetitive prayer, whether rosary, prayers ordered by a confessor, etc. etc..
For Mohammedans, the Hadith tells us that earlier Muslims were instructed to pray 50 times a day. Mohammed later reduced this to a more manageable 5 times per day after his alleged flight on a horse.
From “Infidel” Ali explains part of salat, “You say Praise be to Allah thirty-three times; God forgive me thirty-three times; Allah is great thirty-three times; and then, if you choose, you may also say Gratitude to Allah.” That’s a total of 495 repetitions of just those first three prayers – every day – because Muslims are commanded to perform salat fives times a day.

Idol Worship
Exodus 20:4 THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE any graven image, or ANY LIKENESS [OF ANY THING] THAT [IS] IN HEAVEN above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
Just as Roman Catholics surround themselves with likenesses of things in heaven, bow to them and even kiss them, and as Orthodox venerate their “icons” (brought into the church by Constantine’s mother), so do the Mohammedans bow 5 times a day to a black rock that resides in Mecca. They are required to go and march around it for days at least once in their lives, some even kissing and rubbing on it.
All of the above, of course, deny idolatry. ___________________
Veneration of Mary
Mohammedans join with Roman Catholics in the veneration of Mary. Though blessed among women…
Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
… did Jesus suggest we venerate Mary?
John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it].
Does it read like Jesus was looking for a ministry partner? No Roman Catholic would deny this 19th century Roman dogma or risk being subjected to the fires of hell. http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=16.0
“ASSUMPTION — At the end of her life, Mary was taken up (“assumed”) body and soul into Heaven. (“Catechism” 966, 974)
There is no biblical reference to the assumption of Mary. The Gospel of John was written around 90 A. D., which is more than 100 years after Mary was born. (Surely Mary was more than ten years old when Jesus was conceived.) If Mary had been supernaturally assumed into Heaven, wouldn’t John (the disciple that Mary lived with) have mentioned it? When Enoch and Elijah were taken up to Heaven, the Bible recorded it. With Elijah it was recorded in some detail. (See Genesis 6:24 and 2 Kings 2:1-18.)
The Assumption of Mary was officially declared to be a dogma of the Roman Catholic faith in 1950. This means that every Roman Catholic is required to believe this doctrine without questioning it. However, as we will see, the teaching of the Assumption originated with heretical writings which were officially condemned by the early Church.
In 495 A. D., Pope Gelasius issued a decree which rejected this teaching as heresy and its proponents as heretics. In the sixth century, Pope Hormisdas also condemned as heretics those authors who taught the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary. The early Church clearly considered the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary to be a heresy worthy of condemnation. Here we have “infallible” popes declaring something to be a heresy. Then in 1950, Pope Pius XII, another “infallible” pope, declared it to be official Roman Catholic doctrine. (Note 15)” http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=16.0
Mohammed most likely got Mohammedan veneration of Mary during some of his consultations with a defrocked Roman Catholic priest. A whole chapter in the Quran is devoted to Mary, the only woman named in the Quran, though Mohammed’s confusion was off by generations.

Conquest through population.
The Roman church and Mohammedanism are united on this point as well.
The Pope populating with Roman Catholics through prohibiting birth control.

In conclusion it might pay for those in bondage to the Roman church to consider first, this free book “50 Years in the ‘Church’ of Rome by Charles Chiniquy – a Roman Catholic priest for 25 years. http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/index.html
Then this passage from the book of Revelation:
Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones &pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 & I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, & with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: &when I saw her, I wondered with great admorationMisunderstood. Men are incredibly hot/cold. One moment they're very soft and loving, the next they're shockingly violent, then you never know. The woman I've met are all very sweet.
I get the feeling overall that they value their culture a lot and as it becomes diluted over generations of Muslims living in America, they are slowly becoming less closed off. But they still seem very cautious around non Muslims they've never met before which is understandable.
I don't really feel one way or the other because I haven't known too many. But I think their culture seems really beautiful. Especially their sense of community that I bet they still have from thousands of years ago.
I've had muslim friends who have been generous great people who live their religion.
However we cannot be unaware there some who become jihadists and that is dangerous. Integration is also a social problem. In quite a number of countries ghettos form. The famous Scandinavian tolerance has been exhausted in even left wing politicians.My mind associates them with danger --- potential terrorists, fundamentalists. I also afraid that they destroy Europe as they illegally migrate and multiply like rabbits. They mostly have completely different culture and values.
Even listening to music is evil in Islam. Look what is happening in Afganistan.
I think there are a billion and a half of them, and that it's stupid to make a universal statement about a group that big. Most of 'em are all right, some of 'em are awesome, a handful of 'em suck. Just like any other group.
i thinkk they should stop succumbing to fear of people who might shout at them so they can stop submitting to the book used to recruit terrorists.
I would have to first read the entire Qur'an, and any religious holy texts which are written about in it, to possibly see whether or not a person could always follow it completely.
I am an ex muslim so you guess what I think about them.
Mostly good people just living their life and following what they believe. Some hold conservative views, from fairly moderate to very extreme.
Nothing. The bulk of them live on the other side of the world.
Nothing specific, it depends on each person
The people or the religion?
