Salaams everyone!!!!

A figure, praying peacefully in a darkened room. Hello, my name is Imran, I live in England. I like football both watching and participating, I take keen interest in Islamic studies and comparitive religious studies.

Before joining the H2G2 community I needed a catchy name or title, some were hysterical whilst others were less attractive, then the thought occurred to me, why don't I have a title perhaps some expression, hence SALAAMS2U. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the Arab dialect, salaam means peace, part of a muslim greeting, hence SALAAMS2U means PEACE2U. So by implication am greeting those who call me and likewise the same is done by those who reply.

You may have gathered from my name am a muslim, am not a devout one as no one can claim to be,as Islam is about humility. Islamic history has oftern been militarised and to this day remains synonymous with terrorism a misconception easily bred by lay translators of the Quran(THE MUSLIM HOLY BOOK).

It becomes quite apparent that the abuse of women, suicide bombings and honour killings are mainly commited by Muslims; however it's only fair to say that these attrocities are commited by ignorant individuals who happen to be Muslims, with over 1 million muslims in Britain can anyone point out if each one is a threat to national security, if so is Britain safe? I wish to appeal to reasoning. Inshallah one of my main objectives is to produce constructive evidence to clear the name of Islam and highlight a difference between the terrorists and the moderate Muslim.

As mentioned above I take a keen interest in theology and other relgions. I believe in dialogue not debate, my thoughts are not directed at defaming or offending any religion, but really to present an argument,so a balanced discussion and dialogue can take place.I hope to create and main effective relationships with everyone.

Another issue that is close to my heart is human rights;the abuse of which is not only practiced in poor countries or Islamic regimes but simply around the globe, some under the cover of coercive diplomacy. I hope inshallah to provide a moral interpretation in a mainly cynical world.

DID YOU KNOW? THE BIBLE HAD PROPHESISED THE COMING OF THE "HOLY PROPHET OF ARABIA".
Three people throwing a star in the air (I will be writing an article about this soon, Inshallah).
