In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious

Well it's not my disability of answering your question(s) that made me late, it is the time that I need to find a translator to translate my answers. So I'm asking everyone to forgive me for being late. O.K. I'll answer some of the questions:
1) when some Muslims blew up buildings and the story of having pilots for practicing that was a mistake; and I didn’t mean mistake as something happens without purpose. No, I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that those who were involved in bombing operations made a huge mistake. For that, I and the Muslims in the whole world are innocents of such operations. Those people made a huge mistake in such operations and horrible bombings but that doesn’t mean all Muslims are in such a way of behaving, that's what I mean. Maybe I didn’t translate each "mistake" word a correct translation; I mean the mistake of doing something horrible and guilty and so on. And I didn’t mean a mistake that is something wrong happened spontaneously.

2) as for the Islamic world that had nothing to do about that as you presume????
Well if you remember that most of the Islamic countries' presidents had bad comments and withdraw themselves of such terrifying operation, this is ONE.
TWO is when some Muslims blew up the two buildings (towers), the United States after a short time had punished some of those who had been involved in that. So they entered to Afghanistan and arrested some and many of members of the organizations which had some relations in that. The matter was that some Muslims had committed a big mistake ; bombing the two buildings. So as any country in the world, the United States won't keep silent of their rights and the souls of their people, either. So they punished the involved ones in Afghanistan and had built there prisons for them to take back their honor, so what can we do after all??
Dear brother, America has punished and arrested the terrorists in Afghanistan as soon as they got in there after the explosion and arrested some of them, and we as Muslims and especially Islam has denied that and it's out of guilt of such operations and bombings. Again as I told you America is the one who arrested them there, and that doesn’t mean that we didn’t arrest them then it is good for us, no!!!!
Take a look of this example: when some Muslims had killed a French man in a Muslim town, what did the Muslim government do???? they didn’t waste much time; they searched each spot of the country till they arrested them. So either they killed them for killing the French or put them in prison forever underground, and we as Muslims do not accept such a thing , even Islam ordered each Muslim to treat anyone who isn’t Muslim with good manner and politeness, so how is it with those who live with us????!!!!
And as for your saying that we didn’t arrest the terrorists???
Well America has arrested them directly in Afghanistan because it was the shelter of those who had involved in the bombing and they weren’t in our country , so the United States arrested them and had revenge on them.

3) Why the Sunna and the Shei'ah do not go along with each other???
Well this incident has a background story and history. Many things happened that time. What I can say is that the Sunna are Muslims who have been performing the rules, morals and habits which the Holy Qura'an and prophet Muhammad peace be upon him called for since the prophecy of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him till now. In a word, they are the true Muslims who quite follows the commands of the Holy Qura'an and the prophet peace be upon him. That means Islam doesn’t know Shei'ah or any group. It hasn’t take it officially either. Muslims have the instinct of following their religion and holding whatever the Holy Qur'an and prophet Muhammad have asked through his says and deeds. they are called Sunna because we call the speeches of the prophet as sunna. If you see and live with the Sunna group, you will see the true morals and commands of Islam. Those are the true Muslim group. Whereas the Shei'ah, which Islam never knows or even even accepts, had shown after many Islamic historic events. Some of them are Muslims who testified that there is only one God and Muhammad is his messenger, while others Islam has never accepts them and are not really Muslims. They happened to come because of some revolting actions. They had a private Imam, strange and different kinds of faith, and origins of religion; which means they made Islam up side down. Some of their faith had turned from Islam. They do things Islam has never asked. Some of them believe that prophecy was never for our Messenger Muhammad. So some of them aren’t Muslims and turned from Islam. The difference between them and us; the Sunna, is that the sunna follows the Holy Qur'an and the speeches of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while the Shei'ah follows its own Imam, rules and desire. The Shei'ah hates the Sunna because the latter declines the wrong faith of the former. They think they are the Muslims, the best and the correct ones. However, they know that the Sunna are the ones who follows the principles of Islam. The Shei'ah says: "Why the Sunna revolt us while we are the best Muslims." Because of the huge difference between us and the faiths of the Shei'ah. You see that the Shei'ah hates the Sunna because they believe that they must hurt the Muslims of sunna. They had shown up because of tales and incidents including ideas doesn’t belong to Islam. They, again, hate suna because it denies their faith , and if you have the chance to see them, your'e going to see something weird and have a bad point of view, while some of them aren’t truly Muslims.

3) let me tell you something, in Islam there are fighters (Mujahedeen), but who are they? Simply, they are Muslim people who defend their religion, people, and country. How about this: there is a man who follows any religion. Enemies got into his country. What shall he do?? Of course he will defend his country, family and religion. He won't stand happy for what happens. Automatically this is what we do when the enemies get into our land, taking our lives, women, and money. What shall we do to them?? Of course we will defend and fight. Then those are the fighters (Mujahedeen) who defend their country, fight the enemies and spread Islam. But the world has spotted the name of fighters (Mujahedeen) into terrorists. Meanwhile, a group of Muslims showed up and called themselves (Mujahedeen). They got into countries, blew up things, and killed innocents under the name of Islam and (Mujahedeen). If you get the chance, you will see there is a big difference between the fighters (Mujahedeen) and other ones. Those who explode and kill innocents are not (Mujahedeen) even if they pretend to and owe whatever they do to Islam. Islam and (Mujahedeen) deny them because of the (Mujahedeen's) deeds as the nature of any man who would do as they do, they also call for Islam in the best moral ways they could deal with non-Muslim in polite and good way not in blowing, killing and threat.

5) you are asking about the verse: (do not take the Jews and Christians as guardians).
The point of the verse is not preventing Muslims from having commercial and social relationships with the Jews and Christians, or from treating them rightly and kindly. It is to prevent Muslims from joining them in a league or accounting on them in facing and fighting the enemies because this is dishonesty; for example, Muslims depending on the Jews and supporting them in a war against Muslims.

6) as for your question if Allah is the God of Muslims and Christians.
We believe that there is only one God; Allah. He is the God of all creatures and people. He is the God of the whole world; the ground, planets, the sky, and every thing. Every thing in this world He creates them and there is no God but one ; Allah. He is the one Who creates and feeds us. With His own order, rain falls. Everything in this world happens according to His well and knowledge. With His command we die, so He is the God of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Magians, ….etc.. He is the God, the Lord of every creature He creates. A simple example of His existence is when there is a bad time for you or a trouble you have, when there is no one, no creature is with and helping you, then to whom you are going to. Aren’t you going to pray Allah to save you??? Because Allah is the God Who creates us, knows about us, and we all believe in His existence.

7) I didn’t understand what you mean by saying that Allah is not an Arab name.
I can tell you what (Allah) means. It is taken from The God (Al-Elaah). And The God (Al-Elaah) is the Greatest Whom we love, praise, fear of, and worship. The word (Allah) means God (Al-Elaah) in our language.

8) the phrase (Allah is the Greatest) Allah is Greater than whom???
Isn’t God (Allah), the God and the Lord (Glory be to Him), greater than any thing in this world, and greater than creatures?? So He is Greater than anything (Glory be to Him). And we always say that when we see something great or fine for us. God (Allah) is the God that nothing is greater than Him because He is the One Who creates everything, He is the Creator of the world and everybody.

I hope that I have answered your questions. If there is anything not clear for you or anymore question, don’t hesitate to ask.

Just a couple of questions for you ..... since there are some of us who do not believe in your God (Allah be praised) or any other God but living a life of peace and harmony without having to be accountable to someone "higher", why is it that Muslims can not just leave us alone to believe what we want to believe without the need to change us all into Muslims?

Also, and this is a comment and a question, if Muslims want the rest of the world to believe that they are a peace loving people why don't they stop the violence? Muslims have the ability to stop all of this nonsense .... just say "NO!" When someone asks you to strap on a bomb, just say "NO!" when they want you to hate someone who is not a Muslim, just say "No!" when you are asked to hide weapons or warriors in your homes. If Muslims are so willing to die for a cause and God (Allah be praised) why are they not willing to live for that same cause?

Let's set aside all the words or the Koran, the Bible or any other religious text books ... why should words in a book make any person act badly against another person? The God (Allah be praised) that you believe in made flowers of all different colors and they exists in harmony ... why can't all of God's (Allah be praised) people live the same way? History has shown that violence is what religions have delivered to people .. one religion against another .... no matter what road you take to Mecca, you still arrive at Mecca ....

Oh and by the way ... Americans are tired of being in Iraq and Afghanistan. We will be happy when Muslims can stop making "mistakes" around the world and we can leave your part of the world. Either your English has gotten better or your translators have. I wish you well in your life.

As-Salamu Alaykum (hope I wrote that correctly)

i agree with debdodd. if you consider the possibility that their is no Allah, or at least that we humans cannot truely understand Allah, then you would see how absurd it is for people to fight over who has the right religion. you say they are wrong; they say you are wrong, but does it really matter? you have your beliefs, and those should be your only concern. i'm agnostic, but i do not care about making the rest of the world agnostic. it is enough for me that i have my own beliefs; i do not need to worry about anyone else's. if Islam is truely the only way to Allah, what reason is there to fight? you are correct, so let everyone else be wrong. your soul is the only soul you need to concern yourself with.
