On this forum, i’ve seen so many people who contradict Islamic priciples and beliefs so far as my very limited knowledge of Islam goes. Yet some of them claim to be Muslim. This fact is especially highlighted on the posted topic, ‘Islam threatens society’. With some of the members it is obvious, whether they are Muslims or not, while in the case of others it’s a little foggy. The ones i can so far see as being Muslims on this web site, are: Abu Muhammed, Abdulla, Qaasim, Mudasser, Hasnain, Deysee Behan, and a handful of others - i’m sorry if i haven’t mentioned your names, and accept my apologies if i’ve over looked anyone.
So in order not to confuse myself any further, i would like to know exactly, which one of you is a Muslim, so i know who to ask regarding Islamic issues?
I would highly appreciate it if everyone on this web site could answer this post, except for those whose names i have already mentioned. After all, i don’t really want to end up asking a Hindu Guru or a Jewish rabi about Islam.
I thank you in anticipation.

I am Muslim, continuing to struggle to gain knowledge. Remember John, Muslims don't have one single perspective on every issue, you will get different answers from different believers. Although the fundamentals should remain consistent. Good luck in your search for answers, keep struggling ;)
If you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask. If we see that we can't answer your questions we'll direct you to a scholar. To speak without knowledge is a sin. Most of us here are just simple Muslims.
Dear John,
I don't think, Islam is difficult. I believe that "Honesty is the best policy", and God helps those who really want to be on the right way or who make search of the correct religion (you may try it out).
And about your questions, I can certainly help you. So, if you have any question, you can definitely ask me. If unfortunately (well I think, that will be my mis-fortune) I couldn't give the answer, I'll let you know after getting the answer from any responsible or scholar person.
Thanx for asking about your need. I liked that, really.
