True.

But the act is still not the belief. It is not the faith. It is not a tenet. It is an act. They are different things. Thus you misrepresent Islam when you say they are the same thing.

Also, when you say that the 5 acts summarise the religion as succinctly as possible, you are painting Islam as a behaviour, not belief. Or, an extremely shallow set of beliefs.

Firstly, the 5 pillars are not 5 "acts" as you are trying to define it. The first, and clearly most important pillar is the shahada - belief in the oneness of God. That is clearly, one hundred percent a belief and nothing else - even in your book.

What else do you expect the Islamic faith to comprise of?

The other 4 pillars should be understood as acts that revolve around this belief or 'faith' - acts that directly affirm and strengthen this belief. Hence 'acts of faith': prayer - remembering the one God and imploring Him to keep you on the straight path; fasting and charity - understanding that the key to being at peace with God is by rejecting material desires and possession (pretty much a universal concept in all mainstream religions); and pilgrimage to Islam's holiest site.

Far from it. Belief is absolutely central to everything in Islam - from which all other Islamic acts revolve around. The acts surrounding that belief simply don't make sense outside belief.

Islamophobia.  Tsk, tsk.

He is too much of a coward to ever see Islam in action in an Islamic country.

And yet he defends it with a religious fervor.

5 pillars?

1/. qur'an 8.67: It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made a great slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

A prophet has to be a mass murderer.

2/. qur'an 3.151: We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.

islam is terrorism

3/. qur'an 4.74: Let those that fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the cause of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.

Suicide bombers

4/. qur'an 9.111: Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.

The sacred duty of muslims is to kill and be killed

5/. qur'an 5.51: O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Do not take Jews and Christians as friends and protectors, muslims must alienate themselves, or allah will not guide them.

The psycho alethephobe snakemouth ross, just told us he supports the muslim atrocities exposed in my post.
