man, you understand nothing about society.
so you want us all to just sit in prayer ? do nothing but pray our whole life ?
to survive you need a goal, something to look forward to, something to strive for. otherwise what is the point in living ? why would God put us here, if he just wanted us to worship him 24/7 ?

No, Islam is not that kind of religion. You don't have to be in off in a cave making prayer and meditation, it is a practical religion; and it doesn't prevent you from seeking economic prosperity or enjoying yourself pleasureable activities; although Allah has mentioned certain acts which are forbidden in our religion. Like alcohol for example.... But I guess from your perspective not being able to drink alcohol would ruin almost all the holidays...
Christmas- drinking holiday
St. Patricks Day- drinking holiday
Halloween- drinking holiday
4th of July- drinking holiday
etc.

Why do you speak in second person plural? You seem to forget that you are American too, therfore you will suffer the same problems as me or any other American. How does that feel? But wait since you're Muslim you are not like the rest of Americans. Your religous discrimination sickens me like only a white man's discrimination can.

Islam is not a religion in the Western sense of the word; Islam is a way of life. Christians go to church on Sunday, and then on Monday they go back to work as Americans. However, a Muslim is a Muslim 24-7.

Oh, I get it. So Muslims spend 24-7 in there churches praying. They don't eat sleep or procreate because they're Muslims 24-7. Christains on the other hand are only Christains on Sunday according to you.
So if a Christain is only a Christain when he's at church/praying, and Muslims are Muslims 24-7 then that means they spend 24-7 praying/worshiping. They don't eat, sleep, procreate, or do anything like that because a Muslim is a Muslim 24-7. :P

You think he gave a rat's ass about Black people or Islam when he was a teen? He converted to Islam like 4 years ago and now he thinks he is the ultimate teacher, and we are all miserable Americans (except him and every other Muslim in America of course).

No, not exactly.
You see, Islam means "submission to the Creator". So it's a state of mind and a state of being. Even going to work becomes an act of worship, because we go to work for the sake of Allah; and we don't forget to remember him even when at work. There is giudance in the Qu'ran for how a Muslim should conduct his business. It's like that in all things; it's spending your whole life in submission to Allah. Even sex is an act of worship. The Prophet Muhammad (saws) was asked by his companions "How is it, that Allah rewards us for having sexual relations with our wife?" The Prophet Muhammad replied, "If you were out in the world engaging in unlawful activities Allah would punish you correct? Well, likewise; Allah rewards when you engage in what is permissable".
