In part two, they were discussing the subject of women and children being subjected to certain American and Islamic cultures of dress and appearances.Many of Murad's films focus on the subject of Islam and being Muslim, so we decided to have an in depth conversation to better understand what it is to be Muslim in America. We hope that you will take some time to view some of his work on his YouTube channel at: http://youtube.com/muradaldinSuicide bombers are terrorists who attach explosives to themselves, and, consequently, die along with their victims in a bombing attack. During World War II, Japanese pilots -- kamikaze pilots -- flew airplanes laden with explosives directly into enemy warships, dying in the process. The Viet Minh used suicide bombings as a form of rebellion against the French after WWII.Often referred to as "homicide bombers," the current phenomenon gained notoriety with the bombings of civilians in Israel by members of Arab militant groups, such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. Other guerilla groups which have employed suicide-bombing attacks include the Tamil Tigers and the Kurdistan Workers Party. In Iraq, the method of warfare was adopted in order to kill groups of soldiers. The terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, was the most widely-felt suicide bombing to date.Often terrorism is supported by organizations which both directly underwrite the terrorist activity, and promise to provide for those left behind, freeing bombers from worry about their families' futures.Islam (Arabic: Ø§ÙØ¥Ø³ÙاÙ; al-'islÄm (help·info)) is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a seventh century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: اÙÙÙ, AllÄh). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits [to God]". There are between 1 billion to 1.8 billion Muslims, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world, after Christianity.Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, God's final prophet, and regard the Qur'an and the Sunnah (words and deeds of Muhammad) as the fundamental sources of Islam. They do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Jews and Christians distorted the revelations God gave to these prophets by either altering the text, introducing a false interpretation, or both.Islam includes many religious practices. Adherents are generally required to observe the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five duties that unite Muslims into a community. In addition to the Five Pillars, Islamic law (sharia) has developed a tradition of rulings that touch on virtually all aspects of life and society. This tradition encompasses everything from practical matters like dietary laws and banking to warfare and welfare.Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (85%) and Shi'a (15%). The schism developed in the late 7th century following disagreements over the religious and political leadership of the Muslim community. Islam is the predominant religion throughout the Middle East, as well as in major parts of Africa and Asia. Large communities are also found in China, the Balkan Peninsula in Eastern Europe and Russia. About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries, 30% in the Indian subcontinent and 15.6% in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country by population.--------------------------------------WAR ON WAR Music Video Contest!http://www.WarOnWar.INFOOver $6000 in CASH and PRIZES!Judges:Yusuf Islama.k.a.
