As the title says.
The most central think would be the belief in the one and only god, Allah.

I would think it's something moral like every other religion.
Oppressing women
islam = i slam it's the wrestle rock rumble
never change.
The main message? "Here we have a shitty outdated system of beliefs that we will continue to twist and modify to make even more shitty and help one group of people but fuck the others." Organized religion in a nut shell.
"There's one god, he's telling you to love your fellow man. Here's how to love fellow man: -list of crazy shit goes here-" Basically, any religion ever.
Peace
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women
"Pork is expensive and deceases travel throught it so pork is now against our beliefs"

Every real Muslim knows the 6th pillar doesn't exist :v:
The CORE belief is pretty much "There's Allah, and he's pretty neato." Everything in Islam pretty much boils down to that.
It's the same as Christianity,but with some changed names and events. Everything is to believe that the only true god is Allah and to be peaceful(which radical Muslims don't do,idiots) The reason for extremism is because Islam is quite a young religion born much after Christianity,Christians did extremist shit too,remember the dark ages?
"Kill anyone and everyone who don't believe the same as us, and treat women like pigs." Not my words, but someone actually told me that when I asked what the point of Islam was a long time ago... :l
Do what this book tells you to and you will go to heaven
Yolo
The original point of Islam is essentially to recycle Christianity and Judaism into a more efficient religious model, notably by banning any sort of modification of the Quran. There is one book, written in one way, and it can be changed under no circumstances whatsoever. The religious came up at a time where Arabic society was essentially a mess of gambling, alcoholism, social disparities and discrimination. Women had little to no right, widows and orphans were less important than dirt, and shit was going south real fast. Originally Muhammad tried to settle things down a bit, hence why women had to wear decent clothing (to avoid prostitution originally, it's not mentioned they have to wear a full-on veil like a burqa), why you have to regularly help out the poor, and why you can't gamble or drink alcohol. It was a pretty decent goal at first, trying to make things a bit better and improve society under a superior authority that people would be a bit more inclined to follow. Then as the religion progressed it did like every single other religion ever, people started abusing it and it ended up going to shit as a small but annoying portion of Muslims went apeshit and used the Quran as an excuse to rule unquestionably on any territory they deem interesting for them.

[QUOTE=fritzel;39217140]Pagans revered female deities too. Your facts are kind of half baked.[/QUOTE] Considering I'm taking my info from a book written by a confirmed and professional Islamologist I think I'm right. And even if the Arabic society of the time revered a female deity, it doesn't mean they took actual women in high esteem, and it doesn't mean they didn't have a ton of whores either. [editline]14th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Jocke;39219560]According to their God's laws it's all about peace. But it doesn't seem everyone follows it[/QUOTE] That's mainly because of dipshits who can't understand the original book/have not directly read it. A lot of the jihadists out there have either not read the Quran at all, or they read it dumbly and listened to whatever crazy Imam was there when it came to the meaning of things. It's really easy to tell an illiterate idiot to read a holy book and explain to him how it means Allah allows him to kill everyone as long as he does it for god.
