Islam is a religion and not a location. Islam religion began in Arabia 1400 years ago but has spread all throughout the world since then. Islam is the world's second largest religion with the population of more than 1.5 billion Muslims. Muslims are everywhere in the world and include different nations, races, and colors. Islam teachings are true teachings that are based upon kindness and mutual respect. Muslims become Muslim by saying "I bearing witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
