Islam & Muslim are some of the most misunderstood words in the 20th century. Why? What is a real Muslim? What is a GENUINE Islam? Being a muslim is to believe that there is only ONE GOD- & that GOD is All-powerful, All-knowing, and perfect. You cannot compare or make an idol with that ONE GOD. A real Muslim also believes on several good prophets who lead us to that ONE GOD. A muslim considers Muhammad, and Prophet Jesus as messengers of God. Theses prophets tell the truth but most Muslims do not even know some truths taught by prophet Jesus (Isa). Prophet Jesus even teach " you will know the truth and the truth shell set you free..."
Here are other truths that Prophet Jesus teach:
"I am the bread of Life," Jesus told them. " Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty. ( John 6:35)
"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die;..." ( John 11:25)
How many Muslims know this one......? A genuine muslim must be able also to know and follow the teachings of prophet Jesus not just from Mohammad. Such claim of prophet Jesus that he is the "life" makes him more important than prophet Mohammad. It's either prophet Jesus is the greatest liar or the greatest prophet of all time by the words he claim to be.
I am a genuine Muslim and I believe on the real Islam, by believing that prophet Jesus (Isa)
is greater than prophet Mohammad, and that I should also study the teachings of prophet Jesus and obey them.
I also believe on a God who cares for me and is concern in every detail of my life. Prophet Jesus taught his disciples how to pray... "Our Father, who art in heaven ....." prophet Jesus encourage his disciples to talk to God as their Father. God the All knowing, the All-powerful can also be your All-Loving Father who is in heaven.
Jesus answered him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me." (John 14:6)
If all muslims study and follow the teachings of prophet Jesus, no muslim would be fighting against each other and against Christians ( people of the book) ,Hindus or Buddhists...etc, then real Islam (peace) could come. We only fight against false teachings and beliefs that tend to blind us all.
Do you know the teachings of prophet Jesus? Do you obey them?
Are you a genuine Muslim?

This is very interesting and i am glad to see an Muslim's perspective on such an issue. I am Roman Catholic and I am proud of how my Church has defended itself and grown in a secularized world. They have also responded well to radical Islam and have worked to restore peace with the Islamic community, such as in Lebanon. I am curious to know you opinion to my question: Do you think Islam would be more uniform if it had the hierarchy and structure that the Roman catholic Church employs?
