ONE GOD
By Rukia Awan
Rukia defines Islam as a simple religion but strict: you have to pray five times a day and you have to be clean. Women have to cover themselves up and wear loose clothing, and pictures aren't really allowed in the house. She feels that, in society, Islam has been given a bad name. When one person does something bad, then they think all the Muslims are bad. With different religions, we only have different names for the same god - the one god who created us.

Your thoughts about this video

Tetteh Samuel
I do agree with the woman in the video that it is not all muslims who are bad, because in every soceity we have the good and the bad. Muslims should ignore this wild spreading notion and project the good image of their religion.

Abdilatif Ahmed
I know that Islam is a way of life and we believe we were all born to appreciate God by praying... Islam also keeps us clean for example we have to be clean when we pray before God.
