Muslims religion is Islam

Muslims practice the religion of Islam. The word Islammeans "submission" and Muslim means "one who is in a state of submission." It is understood that this submission is to the will of God. It is stated in the Quran that all of the prophets including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were in this state of submission and thus Muslims.

God has given human beings free choice and the choices are to follow the way that God chose for the human being and the other choice is to reject and follow your own way. and god promised whoever follows god's way he will live in paradise forever. and the one who live his own life god will open for him all the doors of happiness all the bless of this world and he will live life the fullest. but in the hear after he will be one of the loosers and will live in hell forever. so Islam is a way which god chose for human being for the prophets and everything that exists.

Answer 2

Muslim Answer
Islamization is a newly introduced terminology, introduced media and Western politicians, that means:

• the phenomenon of spread of Islam all over many races, cultures, and communities, or
• the revival of Islam in already Muslim communities.

In Quran (holy book for Muslims that its revelation to Prophet Mohamed by God started in year 610 and its revelation ended by Prophet death in 632), it is emphasized that accepting Islam religion is only voluntarily and should be based on deliberate thinking. Islam religion respects all other religions and cultures.

Islamism is a newly invented term by western media and politicians. It is used to mean excessive following of Islam. It is used to mock the people who strictly follow their religion. However, it is wrong and should not be used because just as a good mathematician should follow all the laws of maths, a good Muslim should follow all the laws of Islam. As we don't have a term like mathism the term Islamism should not introduced in the vocabulary as it is an open call for discrimination.

Answer 4

Non-Muslim Answer
Islamization can refer to several different processes.

As a historical term it refers to the imposition of Islamic Laws from a new Islamic Empire on a previously non-Islamic state, usually through conquest, and the strong incentivizations that promote conversion of the citizenry to Islam. For example, when Egypt was conquered in 640 C.E., it underwent a process of Islamization where the laws changed from Byzantine Laws to Islamic Laws and mass conversion occurred in the next two centuries leading to a Muslim majoirty population in a territory where there were no previous Muslims.

Within the Islamic World, Islamization refers to the implementation of Shari'a Laws as national policy. The most famous case is Pakistan under General Zia al-Haq where Islamic penal codes were incorporated into Pakistani Civil Law. This led to blasphemy laws, adultery laws (zinaa), and increased repression of minorities.

In Western countries, Islamization refers to the willful ignorance by police and politicians of Muslim violations of local laws, such as female genital mutilation, the existence of no-go ghettos where shari'a thugs who forcibly veil women, the uptick in hate crimes and violent crimes that corresponds with Muslim-majority Immigration, and the growth of mosques which actively incite to violence and promote radicalization. This willful ignorance is in pursuit of multiculturalism and out of fear of offending the Muslim population in the West. The existence of such Islamization is fiercely debated both in the West and the Islamic World.
