Why God....?

Just rambling through my thoughts really and it occured to me that religion has come to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. The diversity and understanding of these systems of belief is quite huge in some cases. although most times the end product is pretty much the same, Nirvana, heaven, paradise and so on.

Why do some people seem to need a God more than others?

Islam and Boxing

Salaam,

Boxing, what a beautiful sport. A sport of warriors and tough nuts, some may call them idiots, some, call them heroes (for some reason).

Im a big fan of boxing, always have been, since the days of Nigel Benn, I followed the career of Prince Naseem Hamid from start to abrupt end. And now, britain has a new boxing "prodigy" by the name of Amir Khan.

Now, Islam teaches us to be peaceful people and not to hurt anybody unnecessarily. Now we all know boxing is a brutal sport.

Explaining Islam

Salaam

When you are asked question about islam, do you give proper, detailed answers?

as an example whenever I get asked about why I have a beard, I reply because. I have found myself not actually giving an answer. I know I could say its compulsory, but i know the next quiestion why don't everyone have it then. and then that will open a can of worms.

So I just shrug my shoulders, and say because. or its easier than shaving everyday... or some other lame excuse.

So do you go out of your way to explain Islam?
