How so? Millions of Muslims still reproduce.

Not all Muslims are believers (Mumins).

[quote]the following verse makes a distinction between a Muslim
and a believer:[citation needed]
(Al-Hujurat 49:14) The Arabs of the desert say, "We believe."
(tu/minoo) Say thou: Ye believe not; but rather say, "We profess
Islam;" (aslamna) for the faith (al-imanu) hath not yet found
its way into your hearts.[/quote]

Ah. Muslims, then Mumins, then Musins.
I also asked a Muslim about the term 'Muhammadanism' and she
said it was forbidden in Islam because it promotes idolatry.
Thoughts?

The Muslim you asked is illiterate. Mohammed himself stated that
he was merely re-teaching what earlier true prophets (e.g.
Jesus) had taught before but which was distorted after their
deaths. Therefore, the followers of the pre-distortion teachings
of earlier true prophets were also Muslims. Mohammedans refer to
those who became Muslims because of Mohammed's influence.

I also heard that Ali said that the Uthmanic codex was correct
with 'minor errors'. Only a Sunni/Judeo-Islamist would believe
such lies.

This is a little off-topic, but how should prayer be done in
Mohammedanism?
One of my friends who is a Muslim mixes simple Christian prayers
with a few Mohammedan prayers, such as saying the Takbir in the
beginning and reciting Surah al-Fatihah before requesting
anything from Allah SWT. He does ablution when necessary but not
always.

[quote]Imagine a Masjid where the Imam pauses during Salah and
the entire congregation waits so a toddler can finish his game.
Imagine a Masjid where an Imam leads Salah while he holds a
child in his arms. Imagine a Masjid where the cry of a baby
changes the Imam’s intention and shortens the prayer for the
entire congregation.
This was the Masjid of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings
be upon him.
...
The Messenger of Allah came out to us for one of the two later
prayers [Thuhr Asr], carrying Hasan or Hussein. The Prophet then
came to the front and put him down, said Takbir for the prayer
and commenced praying. During the prayer, he performed a very
long prostration, so I raised my head and there was the child,
on the back of the Messenger of Allah, who was in prostration. I
then returned to my prostration. When the Messenger of Allah had
offered the prayer, the people said: “O Messenger of Allah! In
the middle of your prayer, you performed prostration and
lengthened it so much that we thought either something had
happened or that you were receiving revelation!” He said:
“Neither was the case. Actually, my grandson made me his mount,
and I did not want to hurry him until he had satisfied his wish"
(Reported by Nasaa'i, Ibn Asaakir, and Haakim).
The Messenger of Allah would pray holding Umaamah bint Zaynab
bint Rasoolillaah. He would put her down when he prostrated,
and then pick her up again when he stood up (Reported by Bukhari
and Muslim)
The Prophet said: “When I stand for prayer, I intend to prolong
it, but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut it short, as I
dislike to trouble the child's mother" (Reported by Bukhari).
These scenarios illustrate how natural it was for babies,
toddlers, and children to be part of the Prophet’s Masjid. They
show us that the Prophet understood the nature of children and
cared for their needs and comfort in the mosque.
Do we witness these scenarios in our Masjids today? We see a
child grabbed and told to “sit down and be quiet!” because he
was running between the rows. Or we hear “sister, can you please
go outside” because her baby is crying. Or we read signs that
say “No children in Masjid area”.
...
Children running in the hallway or playing basketball in the
parking lot are not signs of a rowdy Masjid or misbehaving
children.
...
This is the nature that Allah created in children - they
overflow with energy and enthusiasm
...
Here is an example of how the Prophet dealt with Anas bin Malik,
who served him as a boy:
The Prophet sent Anas on an errand and Anas reported that “I
went until I came upon children playing in the street. Then the
Messenger of Allah arrived and he caught me by the back of my
neck from behind. As I looked at him, I found him smiling, and
he said, “Unays (Anas’s nickname), did you go where I ordered
you to go?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, yes, I am going.”
Anas said further, “I served him for nine years, but I do not
know that he ever said to me about anything I did, ‘why I did
that, or about anything I had neglected, why I had not done
that” (Reported by Muslim).
The Prophet did not scold Anas for forgetting his errand or for
anything else in nine years.
...
Allah does not punish children for their misbehavior but Allah
does hold us accountable for how we treat children.[/quote]

@90sRetroFan That's actually a beautiful recount. And it's in
stark contrast to how children are typically treated during most
church services in mainstream Judeo-Christian sects. I can't
comment on any stereotypes of Islamic services since I was not
raised Muslim and did not grow up in a predominantly Muslim
country, but I DO know that it's basically a stereotype at this
point, for Christian church services to be practically
unbearable for children, and many of them have to be forced to
go. If you aren't inspiring the children, who naturally love to
dream and are far more idealistic and romantically inclined than
adults, then something's wrong with how you conduct things. May
God be pleased with Mohammed

Islam has been greatly corrupted due to the adoption of the evil
Judaic practice of circumcision. Circumcision adds a 'layer of
Judea' that cannot be purified/overcome because it is a physical
mutilation.
I wish I wasn't circumcised, it has probably destroyed a lot of
my original childhood sensitivity. Circumcision needs to be
banned everywhere, any parents caught trying to circumcise their
child should be executed.

Islamic circumcision seems more ethical to me, because as far as
I know, it’s not really a tradition to circumcise the child
immediately after birth, like it is for westerners. The child
could be circumcised at 7, or even at puberty. As long as the
child is given some semblance of autonomy in the decision, I
don’t find it necessarily unethical, even though I’d argue less
emphasis should be placed on the practice, since it originated
from Judaism
But I definitely agree that circumcising someone who isn’t even
old enough to at least verbally consent to it, should be a
crime. It almost happened to me when I was born, but the doctor
my mom trusted wasn’t there
