1.

What is Islam? Islam is one of the three monetetisk religions. The religions Name Islam stands for the word peace in English. I believe that Islam is a religion that tries to make the life of human being as good, and fair as possible, but to bad that many Arab leaders misunderstand or use their own translation of the holy book to make it work for their benefit, instant for using it right for our worlds best.

2. A.

Have you ever been insulted because of your religion? Yes I believe that many Muslims gets insulted around the world but not from educated and respectful people. They get insulted from people who are not that educated and who are brained washed by all the propaganda they see on tv. Personally I have never been insulted for my religion or belief, because I have always been careful with who I talk about religion and when to bring it up.

3. How is it, being born in Tunisia and raised in the Sweden and getting both of two cultures in your life help you to live your life? A. being born in Tunisian and raised in Sweden was really difficult in the beginning. Tunisian people and Swedish people are so different. Returning to Sweden in the age of 11 after leaving in tunisia for 8 years, made it really hard for me as a kid to adjust, maybe because I did not know swedish and I did not know how other kids in my age were in sweden. The differences are, in tunisia you always have your cousins and family around you. People are more social there and people in sweden are more cold. At the same time, people in Sweden are more serious about work, school and such things importuned for their future, but in tunisia people are trying to get a future without a hard work and try to get the easiest way possible.

4. What is the most important to you in terms of Muslim religion and in terms of western culture? Being a young muslim man in the west without your family with you is really hard. Having your family with you and close to you, makes you to not be in need of having a social life with other people who are not in the same religion and culture, and makes it hard for me to practice my religion. At the same time, I try to tread people as I want to be treaded from them. And I respect everyone's personal decisions because I respect the people's around me. What did you feel when Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoon was published in Danish newspaper? I really got sad and angry when I saw that post. Why I got that? because the people who did those cartoons, knows how the muslims around the world would feel and how serious we take our religion and profetet. They did not to know that just a fun thing, they did not to Descriminate our believes and religion which make me to be even more mad for what they did. Muslims never publisher pictures of Jesus or any other religion symbol for another religions, why would the danish people have the rights to do that? Just because they do not respect the religion they should keep it for themselves instead of publishing it.

What did insult you personally and in what way? Do you fast on the every month of Ramadan? If yes, how do you do it? I do fast when I can, Usually when I have practice and tests I do not fast. I did it before but I did not do that wheel in my school and sports. And as a college athlete I need to do the beest for me know and for my future. I know It is wrong and I am supposed to fast unless I am really sick or traveling. But at the same time, I tried to fast during the time I train with my team, and without having the possibility to drink water it is really hard. On the Other han, I fasted ramadan since I was 7 years old, and I prayed until I moved to the USA, where I did not have the family or the people around me to be a part of the fast, and I had other things to think about like sports and school. How frequently do you read Quran? Honesty, I have not been reading the quern for a long time lately. I believe that If you would to be religious you need to practice it 100 % and not half. I do read the quern when I go back home because my mother really wants me to. But I hope that in the future when I am done with my school and have a career I will read the wuran more and practice my religion more. The movies like The Kingdom, Body of Lies and etc., create an image of a Muslim, what do you personally think about this image and what do you think should be changed? Would you marry a non-Muslim? This question is hard. I would answer yes and no depending on the person I am marrying. First of all I want my kids to grow up as I did with an arab speaking home and arab traditions at home. So if my wife would still be westernized and would nit strive to live in the cultures and way I want my kids to participate in my traditions I would not believe that I would have a none muslim women. But it all depends, If I love someone and I really want to make it happe If yes what religion will your children have? My children will definitely be muslims, I know what kind of person and what kind of tradition and religion I want my kids to have. Even if I get married to a christian girl she would need to know that our kids would be growing up with a modern muslim and arab cultures and not the christian western life style. Why do you think is the main reason for non-Muslim to convert to Islam? If everyone would ran the Quran and understand it right I believe Islam is a great religion of how human beings should live and tread other people. But many people misunderstand and miss use the religion so it makes non muslims to judge the religion without trying to find answers if the facts are right or wrong. If someone want to convert to islam, the main reason would be that the person believes in god and believe in a life and paradise after death.

At what age do you think you will be able to do the Hajj? I believe pretty soon actually maybe in a few years after I graduate and I can have effort it. My mothers dream have always been to go to Mecka and Hajj, and I believe that would be a great idea for me and her to go there together. What do you think of moderate Islam? I do not know what moderate Islam stands for .. What do you think about Ahmadinejad and his politic party in Iran? Ahmadinejad politics is really unknown for me, and I am not really following what's happening in Iran. But I believe that he properly is one of the leaders who is misusing his power on the people. At the same time, I believe he is saying the right thing about the situation in middle east and that the israelian government are murderers. He might be a bad leader but he says what he believes and stands against the west, which every arab country should do if they need to. What do you think about Gaddafi in terms of a politic? Gaddafi is a cowered disgusting, and ignorant human being. He is only thinking about power and wealth for himself and his family. And I hope he will lose the power over libya soon, so he can be punished for what he have been doing for his own people. In regards of recent events in the Arab world, what do you think about what happened in Egypt, Libya? Do you condone or condemn the Palestinians, Chechens, and Kashmiris who give up their lives to kill enemy civilians? Should Muslim women have equal rights with men (for example, in inheritance shares or court testimony)? Do Muslims have anything to learn from the West? What do you think of the law in France that prohibits Muslim women to wear their traditional dresses during the educational activities?
