Changes

I just edited the article and included a source on the concept of faith in Islam.  A few short minutes of Googling turned up a scholarly article from the 1950s about the importance of faith to Islam.  Also, does anybody know how many of the mentions of faith in the Old Testament are in the parts that make up the Torah?  That would go a long way toward identifying the importance of faith in the Jewish religion.

Finally, I agree completely with those who are saying that the concept of faith is common to any theistic religion.  Without any exceptions that I know of (correct me if I'm wrong), any religion that requires belief in a god requires faith, since there is no evidence for any of these gods and faith is belief in the unseen/unobservable.
