You don't have to be from a competing religion to acknowledge the brutality of Islam. Their prophet was a warmongering pedophile.

You are so going to hell (and it's guaranteed to be full of the worst extremist Islamites)

I don't think the Issue is Islam. That is a mistake. Before the reformation, chruistianity ws not much better.

I think the issue is the society there and how it has evolved. There is something fundamentally wrong with it. The issue is beyond religion. I have lived in Islamic states that do not treat their women this way. (well not as bad as this)

I think this is potentially dangerous thinking, based mistaken ideas about religions, esp historical Christianity, and the more recent Judeo-Christian-influenced Islam.

It would be difficult to go into the history and politics of these religions in a single post. Their histories are very complex, and evolved gradually over subsequent generations.

True, Christianity of the Dark Ages and medieval times was brutal and the papacy of the Roman Catholic Church was largely corrupt.

Islam came along in the 7th century, claiming that "Allah" had witnessed unto Muhammad in the form of the "Angel Jabreel" (Archangel Gabriel from the Bible) and had "corrected" what was wrong with Judaism and Christianity (which was originally a cult within Judaism until the 4th century under Roman Emperor Constantine I).

The fact are that today Islam is essentally the same as it was in the 7th and 8th centuries, and has not updated its interpretation of holy scripture of the Qur'an since it was founded. Muslims believe the Qur'an literally, and their scripture orders good Muslims to kill infidels, to lay in wait and ambush, to never make friends with infidels (non-muslims), even to lie to non-muslims.

That's some information in a nutshell, and in today's world people are too "politically correct" to stand in the face of this brutal killer religion, and declare its major religious-political beliefs as a danger to the western world.

One could make the case the case that Christianity is an older, more evolved religion and Islam is in an adolescent phase.

Yes, I agree ..

Yes, the trouble is they have not had a reformation, an update.

This is not likely to occur because they have cleverly created a religion that has not central authority. No Pope per say. It is almost impossible to have an update. This is going to be an issue for Islam for a long time.

Not only that, they tend to have a lot of kids and start teaching them from birth. They have the very effective method of ritualistic prayertimes five times a day, literally around the clock.

They must first do a ritual cleansing for "Allah" by washing their hands and arms up to the elbows, and washing their feet. Even here in the USA, both male and female muslims tend to wear loafer style shoes without socks or open sandals, so they can slip their feet out of them easily.

Their prayertimes are at an exact time of day or night, and modern muslims in the USA use their computers to calculate the times and also use tapes or CDs spoken in Arabic in a stereo system as their call to worship.

These prayers take time at regular intervals throughout the day, so that they haven't enough time to "stray" or to spend time learning anything else but Islam, the Qur'an and the Hadiths.

Modern muslims here in the USA have taken for granted under the laws of "freedom of religion" that the businesses where they work (including even banks and corporate offices) allow them special prayer rooms and allow them breaks for prayertimes through the workday.

I personally know little about Islam, only what I read or see on documentaries, but in some places Sharia Law isn't as harsh as in others and many Muslims claim that women are put on a pedestal according to the true Q'uran readings. They're not all badly treated although some of their habits are quite weird, but similar to the Jews.

The Islamic extremists - as with some other religions, are those who impose this cruelty on females. There are extremist Christians in other developing countries who torture young girls claiming they're witches and subject them to all sorts of cruelty, but this is rarely bought to our attention.

This is EXACTLY WHY we in Australia do NOT want to follow what the USA Lefties have done. Thrown your country to the wolves! America was based on CHRISTIAN beliefs. I do NOT believe in God but I don't believe in Allah either. However, why do you in the USA have THANKSGIVING and we in Australia do not? Think about it.

Stand up for your Christian Rights and do NOT let the Muslims take over. There must be a way!
