No true Islam anywhere in the world, Islamic Ideology, NewAgeIslam.com

Islamic Ideology
No true Islam anywhere in the world
Right Islam or Wrong Islam vs. Islam and non-Islam
Salamun Alykum,

The correct title of this subject should be Islam or non-Islam. There has always been one Islam, which was decreed for Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. All the scriptures revealed to mankind from God advocate one and the same religion. This religion God calls Submission or in Arabic Islam

The word Muslim is an Arabic word which simply means Submitter to God Alone. Anyone who submits to the will of God is Muslim in the Quranic context. According to the Quran, a righteous Jew, a righteous Christian, a righteous Muslim or any righteous person is Muslim in the eye of God (2:62, 5:69).

[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

The Arabic word Islam simply means Submission (to the will of God). So, anyone who follows the religion of Islam is Muslim. The concept of Islam can easily be derived from this verse of the Quran (42:13)

[42:13] He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you (Mohammad) , and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. GOD redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.

Closing the book on the Bush era

Closing the book on the Bush era

Debate already rages over whether Bush should be regarded as the worst U.S. president. Historians will no doubt include him on any such list, but America has suffered and survived worse chief executives.

Bush, to his credit, appointed African Americans to his cabinet. That alone puts him ahead of Andrew Johnson, who succeeded to the presidency upon the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and promptly vetoed the first civil rights bill, saying "this is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am president it shall be a government for white men."
