| − | '''Islam''' is a major world [[Political|socio-political]] system based on the teachings of [[Muhammad]] (sometimes Mohammed), a seventh century [[Arab]]. Muhammad claimed descent from [[Ishmael]], the son of [[Abraham]]. Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from Allah, the entity which adherents of Islam claim to also be the [[God]] of [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]], via the archangel Gabriel, which were written in the [[Koran]] - thus forming the core teachings of Islam. Adherents of Islam, along with their liberal allies (including in the [[mainstream media]]), claim it to be a "religion", although unlike Christianity, Judaism and other religions, Islam is presented and acts in ways opposite to the teachings of legitimate religions, but more akin to the totalitarian ideologies of [[Nazism]] and [[Communism]], based on the history of Islam and its followers. | + | '''Islam''' is a major world [[Political|socio-political]] system based on the teachings of [[Muhammad]] (sometimes Mohammed), a seventh century [[Arab]].
