"Islam" means "submission." It means submission totally to Allah
"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah: truly Allah is severe in punishment. " [Qur'an 59:7]
The problem with Islam is that you can't only read the Quaran, you also have to read the Sunnah and Hadith.
Just as in Christianity, sometimes the versus/teachings are misinterpreted. The problem with Islam is that the majority of the nuts have taken over the sanitarium.
Just as one time Christians went through a warlike rampage trying to spread Christianity, the Muslims are doing so today. The Christians were tamed over time and now Islam needs to be tamed.
The liberals need to stop looking at this as Christians (Bush and co) against Islam and start looking at this as the WORLD fighting FUNDAMENTALISM. This would not be tolerated by the left if it were Christians (or Jews - look at their reactions to Israel protecting istelf) and it should not be tolerated by left when it is Muslims. Fundamentalis of any religion are dangerous and we have to put a stop to them!

In Islam, the Arabic word sunnah has come to denote the way Prophet Muhammad (saas), the Messenger of Allah, lived his life. The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence, the first being the Qur'an. Both sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam without consulting both of them. The Arabic word hadith (pl. ahadith) is very similar to Sunnah, but not identical. A hadith is a narration about the life of the Prophet (saas) or what he approved - as opposed to his life itself, which is the Sunnah as already mentioned.
In M. M. Azami's Studies in Hadith Methodology and Literature, the following precise definition of a hadith is given,
According to Muhaddithiin [scholars of hadith -ed.] it stands for 'what was transmitted on the authority of the Prophet, his deeds, sayings, tacit approval, or description of his sifaat (features) meaning his physical appearance. However, physical appearance of the Prophet is not included in the definition used by the jurists.'
Thus hadith literature means the literature which consists of the narrations of the life of the Prophet and the things approved by him.
