The truth is that Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of hate, of terror and of war. A thorough study of the Quran and Hadith reveal an Islam that is not being presented honestly by the Muslim propagandists and is not known to the majority of the people of the world including Muslim themselves. Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of Injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty, Absurdities, discrimination, Contradictions, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims and abuses the human rights of minorities and women. Islam expanded mostly by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers. In Islam apostasy is the biggest crime punishable by death. Muhammad was a terrorist himself therefore terrorism cannot be separated from the true Islam. Islam means submission and it demands from its followers to submit their wills and thoughts to Muhammad and his imaginary Allah. Allah is a deity that despises reason, democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of expression.\n\nI reject Islam a) because of Muhammad’s lack of moral and ethical fortitude and b) because of the absurdities in the Quran.\n\na) Muhammad lived a less than holy life. His lust for sex, his affairs with his maids and slave girls, his pedophilic relationship at age 54 with Aisha, a 9-year-old child, his killing sprees, his massacre and the genocide of the Jews, his slave making and trading, his assassination of his opponents, his raids and lootings of the merchant caravans and unarmed villagers, his burning of trees, his destroying the water wells, his cursing and invoking evil on his enemies, his revenge on his captured prisoners of war, his torturing of his captives to for greed and his hallucinations such as believing of having sex with his wives when he actually did not, disqualify him as a sane person let alone a messenger of God.\n\nb) An unbiased study of the Quran shows that far from being a “miracle”, that book is a hoax. The Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. Could possibly the author of this Universe be as ignorant as it appears to be in the Quran?

You cannot stop the course of History. Sooner or later, Islam will rule the world. It is only a question of time. Panic, on account of this, is really unwarranted. Tolerance in Muslim Spain is a fact not a "mith", as you peculiarly put it

Then they will surely have the time of their lives!!!\n\nAre you planning to die in the name of Allah soon?

Will Middle East survive? Muhammad the Prophet had predicted in 611 A.D.that his faith 'Islam' will survive for 1400 years. If his predictions come true, Islamic faith is nearing its end by 2011 A.D.

No. Iraq will, if at all it sustains democracy, take at least 3 decades to understand the system and get into main stream democratic countries. Religion will be a great hindrance to fully open up like a normal democracy. Situation does not change dramatically and I am not sure if any change at all will be possible.

There would be continues wars as it was when we were barbarians before religion. \nBut it was the way of life back then til we started caring about life. \nBut now instead of killing the weak we try to help the weak.\n\nYou can study how animals are towards each other and that's how we would be now. \nReligion caused use to think more of ourselves, science caused us to take killing to a higher level though. \nThey can kill everything on the planet with one test tube of virus.

VERY fair...dead he would be a martyr for islam. He would have been honored as a hero, instead of the TRUE heroes of 9-11 and the war on terror. Now he gets to sit in SHAME for the rest of his life. That is if he doesnt "sacrifice" himself first....one can only pray. =)

At least 2000 years. Christianity is not yet civilized in that length of time.

no I (Chrsitian) wouldn't.  I'd pray they came back to my faith though.  I think muslims are a lot more hardnosed about that though.

Because if they had it the muslim faith would vanish

I am afraid you will not find good data on this. In many countries you are forced to be islamic. If you don't convert you will be killed. Hear of Dar fur? This is not across the board but it is huge. Many people are disowned by their families if they leave. Here is a link to one guy I know left Isam.

Islam cannot be vanished\n\n"They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse. " Quran   9: 32.

Not sure if there will be a next big one...religions as a whole are dying as we become a more enlightened and scientific species...every generation produces more rational thinkers and skeptics who recognize that there is no true religion and that religion has served it's purpose (i.e. run it's course) for humanity...with a little luck, a few millennia from now we'll be all the way there...

220,000 people died very far away, mostly in indonesia and other countries with high muslim populations that aren't US friendly.  Not exactly high on the US news list.  And generally, no one cares about anything that happens elsewhere for too long after it happens.  It's called human nature.  we care about ourselves and those close to us and the rest can go jump off a cliff

I think people would do as they please, not what is best for the co-habitation of the world's people. The spread from sexually transmitted disease alone would more than likely wipe out half the world's population. Add that statistic to the criminally insane people who would run around killing people- because if we had no religion, people would probably not understand that murder is wrong. It was religion that taught us it was wrong.

It seems so. The USA with the blessings from Pope and the backing of the Zionist Jews has been raising almost a crusade and claims that it would last another 40 years. It seems that till the last Muslim is killed the UK/USA duo will not live in peace. Oil could be the immediate gain but the ultimate target is annihilation of the Islamic community. It is also written in the Quran that by 2011 the Islamic community may be finished. But we pray for peace and China will hit the last nail into the coffin!

I dont know where you got your data, but I will answer on the part of ramifications..\n\n\nSomeday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. \n\nAnd liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"—while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn’t violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. \n\nIf you think this can’t happen, you haven’t been paying attention to demographics. All one has to do is watch and see what is going on in Europe, & Australia and much of the pacific rim. A radical Islam wave is changing the way the rest of those populations conduct law, and the freedoms they would otherwise enjoy.\n\nThe future, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West—wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion—is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. \n\nIn the ongoing conflict between the West and Islam, both the demographics and the will to power favor the Islamists. That a country like Spain for example, with a birth rate of 1.15 children per adult women, will extinguish itself in a few generations, while immigrants from countries such as Pakistan (birth rate 4.53) will move in to fill the vacuum. \n\nToday an aggressive, unassimilated minority edges closer to a majority (as in France, with an estimated 30% Muslim population in the under 20 age group), the character of the democratic institutions will become more closely aligned with Islamic law and culture.
