I'm hearing a lot of those crazy ideas about islam and as a true Muslim, I needed to make this post to clarify how wrong that idea was .

You need to understand first in islam of course killing and raping are not okay as long as you pray, and btw this is not praying this is using prayer to hide your guilt and it's called hypocrisy in islam and this is one of the biggest sins ever !!

The real meaning is that if you already killed, raped , did lot of really bad things but after that in a moment of truth you genuinely feel really guilty about what you did from the depth of your heart and you want to return to god's way , you should pray and ask for forgiveness and try everything to repair the damage you've made , if you can't ( like killing someone) you should try hard and ask forgiveness from his family even if they won't forgive you , you should keep trying harder , god's judge you on what you do , not the results, so you need to work hard all your life to repair your bad doings.

So the meaning of praying here is a step to return to god and confess all your sins and try hard to repair them and start a new life full of good behaviors ,

The meaning of as long as you pray you do whatever sin you want DOESN'T EXIST in islam , I'm a true Muslim, I know a lot about my religion , so we need to stop giving islam every bad meaning we hear about ,and btw I can confirm to you that all of those meaningless ideas about islam in all social network websites are never true .

At the end I hope the world will be able to understand that you can't judge 2 billion Muslim who just want a a great life full of peace with family and friends by what some few crazy extremist tell about islam.
