Science? Don't you know about Aviccena, Averroes or Al-Kwarizmi? Al-Gabr? The Muslim civilisation was way more advanced than Europeans during the Islamic golden age. Where do you think Algebra(Al-Gabr) or Algorithm(Al-Khwarizmi) started? Where did you think chemistry(Al-Kamiyya) evolved? You are ignorant for not knowing most pious Muslims accept the Big Bang theory, other than other religions. Abnu Sina's book Al-Qanun fi Tibb was translated by Christians as "Aviccena's Canon of Medicine". Muslims even provided diagrams of circulatory and digestive systems way before the crusades.We were the ones who used anesthesia first. We discovered boric acid. We layed down the foundations of Chemistry. Our past architects evolved dome usage in acoustics in architechture. Muslims built the Taj Mahal. Now you're saying Islam restricts science. We were, and will be, more advanced in science and Mathematics. Without past Muslims, there will be no "New Knowledge". The (currently)second tallest towers are in a Muslim country(Malaysia), much taller the Empire State Building. Another Muslim country(UAE) is planning to build the tallest, engulfing your buildings.

First of all I don't think that Islamification of America is a possibility anywhere in the near future unless the democrats come in and screw everything up. Second of all if more people knew about Islam then they might not be so quick to jump on the band wagon and call for a retreat from Iraq. In fact if Americans weren't so ignorant and looked into things before they went jumping to anything then America would probably be in a lot better shape. Did you know that there are over 100 million Islamic believers around the world? If we were really generous and said that only 1% wanted to kill Christians, and by Christians I mean all Americans because that is how they see America, then that means there are over 1 million Islamics that wish Americans to die. The number in all reality is closer to 14% which means there are 14 million Islamics that wish to kill Americans. Islam is a threat to America and if the American government and its people do not take action there could be severe consequences.

Of course you can. If i study Islam all my life there are still new things to learn. Its impossible to know everything before becoming a Muslim. I have no need for new testaments or old testaments i have my Quran which is the finale book from God. Have i read the bible? yes.

Ture by the year 2025 Islam will be the world's largest religion! But Islam's history is just as bloody sa Christanity eventhough in my opinion Christanity is worse. In the end Islam is growing bot by violence but I'm not really sure why people are so interested in Islam. There must be something special about if so many millions of people are converting to it each year.

at first yes.  but then when people finally hear what radical islam is teaching and are exterminated everything would be fine.

There is a serious chasm between traditional Islam and Western liberal democartic values. Islam is a dominating religion, and by that I mean that it has a very linear world view. It cannot accept that other religions might have any validity and their adherents certainly should not be treated as equals with Muslims.\n\nIslam also seeks to impose its requirements on the wider community - calling for separate bathing days in public swimming pools, recognition of sharia courts instead of civil courts, demanding preferred treatment rather than equal treatment.\n\nSince the view of Dar al Islam (the world of Islam) is ever expanding and never contracting - witness Osama bin Laden's demand for restoration of the Muslim Caliphate from the sixteenth century - it will inevitably lead to conflict with the West. That woudl certainly mean the end of the Western 'fabric of life'.\n\nHowever, there is the chance for a modern reformed Islam, as the other major monotheistic religions have 'reformed' so address this problem. If Islam could be wrenched from the literal and warlike readings of the writings of Mohammed, then there is a chance of reconciliation. I think this is slim, but possible over time. Until then, it is, as the questioner says, the head loppers who currently represent Islam and those Muslims who disagree aren't standing up to be counted.

NO. It is a myth created by the liberal media outlets. Islam is a fanatic religion. I invite anyone to go to any and every arab and muslim country and conduct a poll and ask them what they think of america? what they think of the west? what they think of christians? what they think of jews? i guarantee that majority of every muslim and arab country will answer negatively. \n\nThis is not a matter of opinion, just open your eyes, and take a look at the world. Islam is not being spearheaded by a few "extremists". These extremists are the people, and they are supported by the people. So moderate islam does NOT exist. Sure there are a few muslims that are less interested in terrorism, but for the most part, they are all brainwashed, and will all share the same fate.\n\nI said, the answer is NO!

for the most part it's muslim against muslim.  they can all die.  if that religion is true then those people will be in their version of paradise.  isn't that where we want to go?

No. I don't get your question completely but if you're asking whether you should look at a religion's followers and from them deteremine a conclusion on the religion, then NO. I'm a Muslim and if you saw me in the street one day, you shouldn't think that that's what Islam teaches, because I don't do a lot of things that I'm supposed to as a Muslim. I hope that answers your question.

not yet. in the future, maybe

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!

I know that it’s a widely-followed monotheistic, Abrahamistic religion centered around the words the prophet Muhammed/Muhammad, believed to be the last prophet of God. There is a high concentration of Muslims in Asia and North Africa. They follow tenets the same way most other organized faiths do and pricipally they aspire to maintain a lifestyle of purity, integrity and peace. Like most religions of the same tone, Islam promotes an afterlife that will be reached upon death if one has measured up to the qualities desired by God in His people.\n\nI also know that Islam is attractive to extremists because it is considered very “across the board” and, in limiting interpretation, leaves the door wide open for individual interpretation of the core meanings of the will of God.

No.  Not at all.  Our future is created by the quality of our thinking and our ability to manifest our hopes and dreams into reality.\n\nAs we think, we believe.\n\nWhen we change our thinking to embrace our greatest visions, and change our actions and deeds to support that vision, we unlock the key to the magnificent opportunities of our future.
