I've got this Logic assignment about evaluating the Islam religion as a theory, and I'm using the web for research. The problem is, I'm having difficulty finding the info I need. I need to include information about:
Oneness of God
Oneness of Mankind
Oneness of Messengers and Message
Angels and Day of Judgement
Innocence at Birth
State not separate from Religion
On top of that, I need to include Shahadah, Salat, Saum, Zakat, Hajj, The Quran, Rasul, Sunna, Hadith, Muezzin, Fatiha, Raka, Sadaqa, Imam, and Ramadan.
Does anybody know anything about any of these things, or know of any good links?
Hope I can get some help. Thanks in advance. :)

Ramadan is considered to be the Islam holy month. I don't know when it actually occurs, but every day, Muslims are not allowed to eat at all during the day (when the sun isn't up it's OK). Traditionally the month ends with a holiday.
Side note: It does not conform to any month we know of. It starts in the middle of one and ends in the middle of the next.
As for everything else in your post, I have no clue :p.

I have quite a bit on my site about Islam and Mohammed.
there's a lot on the discussion board under false doctrine.
click on the King of Kings below then on the forum link on the right.

I'm not a Muslim, but I do know abit about the religious aspect of Islam. Islam is one of the three monothestic religions (the other two are Judaism & Christianity). Islam means submission to Allah (God) and every Muslim has to abide by the 5 pillars of Islam.
The 5 pillars are:
1) The testimony of faith, where there is only one true Allah and Muhammad is the messenger (prophet) of God.
2) Praying 5 times daily towards the direction of Mecca
3) Payment of zakat (alms/donation) to suppor the needy
4) Fasting during the month of Ramadan between sunrise & sunset.
5) Making a Haj (pilgrimage) to Mecca once in a lifetime.
Regarding to what you're seeking about, I can only mention the following :
Oneness of God - It's found in the first pillar of Islam.
Oneness of Messengers and Message - Muhammad is the prophet of Allah and there is only one true Allah.
Salat means greeting, Zakat (alms), Hajj (pilgrimage), The Quran (Holy Book of Islam), Muezzin (the one who calls people to prayer but please do check up on that), Imam (very high religious leader) and Ramadan (fasting month)
After Ramadan, Muslims will celebrate a holiday known as Hari Raya Puasa.
Hope this helps in some way.
Probably a website like islam.org will have information.
And two pop-ups.

Nothing like an old-fashioned book on the nature of Islam and its beliefs. I'm not sure about any particular website with the information you seek, but I'm sure it's out there if you can find a way to avoid any of the sites with less than accurate information.

Ich, I'd be careful about stuff like that ;). I once tried to go to the website for the library system in the county. The URL for them contains a hyphen. I left it out at first and got a porn site (whoops).
