If there there were no Islam, wouldn't we need less security forces?

Yes we would need less security forces. They have sworn to kill all the Christians. Think about what they do with their peaceful relegion. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights: \nMuslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage. \nA Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. \nMuslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage. \nLet's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage \nMuslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage. \nMuslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage. \nNewspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged. \nDead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.eaceful religion.

No.  It would be turned down because it would give too much freedom to terrorists.

true, then there would be no reason for the arabic people to come over here and kill people so they can get into their "heaven".  And also that means we (government) would not be having these stupid court orders for the religion stuff.

The leaders of the two countries get together and solv the problem without force.  If hat doesn't work they can duke it out on their own.  If thing opperated like that I bet there would be fewer wars.  It's been a long time since world leaders have been in the battlefield, if this were changed I think war would be less frequent.

I really don't have an answer to your question, but I think we could go along way toward world peace by disbanding the military and just building a purely defensive force. We could protect our borders better if we concentrated our resources on protection of our own country. Things like happened on 9/11 would not be able to happen. I also think that the money saved would be better spent on the American people in need. Health care being one of my biggest issues. That being said there are to many greedy repuglicans in this country to ever happen, but it is my dream world.

nobody really cares that much about Islam in the west.\n\nJust a fact.
1135155
Most likely, yes.  There will never be 100% agreement on anything, and some people may want to take this disagreement to violent levels.  \n\nThe only plausible way I can see there being no terrorism is if the human race dies out, which is unlikely to happen within 300 years.

Quite an easy answer really.\n\nIt's because Islam butt's their noses in everyone elses business first.\n\nIf they kept themselves to themselves and didn't do stupid things like blow up buses and hijack airplanes, then we'd be very happy to leave you all alone to yourselves.

No.  Many different people are behind many different terroristic operations.  In Northern Ireland, you had the IRA doing a lot of killing and bombing for years before the Islamic attacks.  All religion have fanatics.  It is normal and human nature.

The west is already at war with a small segment of Islam. The question is, will Islam go to war with itself and extinguish the radical element, or will mainstream Islam join the radicals.\n\nPeople should recognize that huge percentages of muslims are non practicing and don't even go to mosque. This is especially true in Europe where some estimates show 80% of the muslim population not really formally participating.

If you mean prevent the growth of terrorists, then it would be to bring up the standard of living in poor countries and educate the people, destroy despots and introduce a free society that allows and nurtures their specific religions and beliefs without denying others. Since there will always be poverty and governments that are cruel to their own people, it will take a long time. Effectively you have to transform entire societies.\nTo prevent the introduction of terrorist activities within the US, we should adopt similar restrictions and intelligence gathering as that in other countries that are currently under siege, perhaps similar to Israel?

No it will only embolden terrorists. Islam is a very aggressive religion. Of all of the wars/conflicts in the world, something like 95% of the at least ONE if not BOTH sides are Muslim. If you read about what people are doing to innocent women and children in places like Algeria, Sudan, Indonesia in the name of Islam(cutting the throats of whole families if they don't observe Islam as devoutly as they should, burn torture to enslaved christian children if they refuse to learn Islam, etc....)

Because Islam exists.

Good deterrent,since so many of you in the Middle East seem to think we're the devil's spawn because we're not Muslim. Keep in mind though, a good number of our population is Muslim.\nWe, in this country, pretty much live with the idea that the best defense is a strong offense.\nIt's pretty hard (I would hope) to use nuclear weapons against us, knowing that at the same time, we would be wiping you off the face of this planet.\nMutual destruction. Let us all pray it never comes to that.\nHow about some common sense and tolerance out there?

Maybe coz then the western people would come to know of the united strength of Muslims and the western powers fear the ideal system of governance Caliphate has to offer. In addition, I think the western powers are afraid that the negative impressions they have spread about Islam would vanish from Western people's hearts when they see an ideal and just government system.

wow great question. I would say yes though.  because of all the prophesies in the Bible regarding the political state of Israel in the end times.  there would have had to at least be something like Islam.  The Israelites would be having a much easier time if they had been more patient and waited on God.  With those big promises come the need for faith and patience.  I'm glad that nothing I do today will create an international struggle hundreds of years in the future! woohoo! obscurity!
