You are pretty much correct in all your statements about Islam. (Although i would say that the Quran doesn't just continue after the events of the bible; there is more to it than that. And we don't face Mecca because of the prophet's birth)
I'm pleased to hear that you have an interest in Islam. Based on your request i would recommend reading the Quran or any of these following resources:
---
___
---
The entire list here. If you have any questions about Islam, don't be shy to ask us.
>No, because in Islam, you're Muslim only if you believe La ilaha ila Allah wa Muhammad rasool Allah (There is no god but God and Muhammad is His messenger).
In the same way, to be a Christian is to affirm the Nicene Creed.
>I just think it's strange that you're saying certain people are not Christian because they don't believe in the trinity, when there are large numbers of Christians that don't.
There are some fringe groups but the overwhelming majority of Christians are Trinitarian. There are roughly 2 Billion Christians including Non-Trinitarian believers, the Non-Trinitarians are roughly 41 million. Meaning that of all the Christians 98% are Trinitarian.
So numerically, and historically the Non-Trinitarians don't jive with mainstream Christianity.
>I'd be extremely interested in seeing your response to a book written by a Christian who became Muslim. It's entitled MisGod'ed and in it there is quite a bit of discussion of the trinity. He really takes a neutral view and looks at it historically and logically.
I'll try to remember to check it out
> How do you feel about the fact the hijab is a cultural thing rather than a religious requirement?
Hijab is not a cultural thing. It is a religious requirement. That is a common misconception. Hijab is something that is required by our faith, which is why you see it everywhere. Other types of clothing some Muslims wear is cultural, such as a thobe, which is worn by Khaleeji (Gulf) men and is a symbol of their culture. That thobe and ghutra (what they're wearing on their head) is not required by Islam. It's a cultural tradition. Now, don't get me wrong, hijab could probably fit in the category of cultural tradition in some cases. Especially different styles and materials of hijab, such as the shayla, which is worn in the Khaleeji (Gulf) area of the Middle East. See here. However, women from all over the world wear shayla, and other styles of hijab.
> Also, why Islam and not Christianity?
Simply, Islam makes logical sense and Christianity does not. I don't want to turn this into a theological debate, so that is all I will say. If you want to know more, I would strongly recommend reading a book entitled MisGod'ed: A Roadmap of Guidance and Misguidance in the Abrahamic Religions written by Dr. Laurence B. Brown. See here for the Amazon page. Thanks for your questions.
I would recommend this book.
