@scotsboyuk, how true.
There are people out there who would try to corrupt the truth but as God Almighty has promised complete protection - they will not get far.
With respect, that doesn't seem to be doing very much to stop the extremists who are blowing people up ...

As mentioned before there are extremists in every religion.

Chapter 59 Verses 22-24 States:
Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows all things both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace and Perfection, the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah. High is He above the partners they attribute to Him.
He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms or Colours. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

I didn't mention the word Muslim now did I?
You are quite correct though, extremists do exist in other faiths too. To be quite honest I do consider those sorts to be of those religions since they don't teach or practice the values inherent to those religions.
I certainly wouldn't consider someone like bin Laden to be a Muslim since his actions are contradictory to Islam just as I wouldn't consider people who protest at gay funerals to be Christian.

@peterkay, as a liberal muslim, what do you opine of other belief systems? Especially polytheistic faiths which i believe is much deplored in the quran!(forgive me if i'm wrong about that part) I believe that every human being has the capability to choose between right and wrong. He is free to practise any religion he wishes. I do not believe in conversions which according to me are nothing but selfish attempt to show that "my religion is better than yours"There is no such thing as a superior religion.

What do hindus read? Contrary to the popular belief that the bhagwat gita is the religious text/book of hindus, the truth is that the gita is a small excerpt from the vast epic mahabharata. Hindu tradition believes that ultimate reality lies beyond all scriptures, it also believes that scriptures help people orient their minds and lives towards "brahman". This attitude has given rise to a body of sacred litt so vast that by one calculation, it would take 70 lifetimes of devoted study to read it all!

@whizkidd
Sounds rather similar to Taoism in some respects.

@whizkidd, people believe whatever they wish to belive in - many follow what their parents follow but i feel every human should follow his heart and have 100% satisfaction in his faith.
In all honesty, my religion gives me full satisfaction and i enjoy every day of my life as i follow the steps and actions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his ways are the best i feel.

In many religions, truth is revealed from a divine source and enters the world thru a single agent. Like abraham in judaism, jesus in christianity and muhammed in islam. These truths are then recorded in scriptures that serve as a source of divine wisdom. In the hindu tradition, however there is no single revelation or orthodoxy (established doctrine). Hinduism acknowledges that there are many paths by which people may seek and experience religious understanding and direction.

Brahman:The ultimate reality Various schools have contributed to hindu thought each one with different emphasis. The school known as vedanta has been the standard form of intellectual hinduism. According to it, the highest aim of existence is the realization of identity or union of the individual's innermost self (atman) with the ultimate reality. Although vedanta states that this ultimate reality is beyond name, the word Brahman is used to refer to it.
