I do think so, beacuse they are growing quite a bit lately, but Christianity will always be number one in my mind. Anyways they have a long way to go to get to number one in followers.
No, cuz i know all muslims do bad stuff, and they come from everywhere.
So does everybody. You do just as bad stuff as most of them. So do we all.
Their homeland waz taken away and have to fight back, but not in the way they are doing.
Pray tell me what way they should fight back?
But trust me, a lot of them corrupt the religion since i am around them a lot.
Please explain.
But thats another thing about some Arab people. Since i am hispanic, they do not like me or my family too much. Some do not respect us because of the fact that they think hispanics arent right.
Some Hispanic people think whites aren't right. Does that make all Hispanics bad?
I guess what I'm trying to say is that A) you need to explain your reasoning and B) Arabs are just like us.
Now, at Mr.Kipdon.
I personally pity those of the Muslim faith mainly because some of them are blinded by thoughts of having to do good deeds to get to paradise. When they think that they waste their whole life trying to earn salvation.
Is that not the same as Christianity? You try to earn your salvation by not sinning and doing good deeds.
Valkyrie, it's only in America and parts of Europe that Islam is misinterpreted. We label Muslims as terrorists and cultists, but mostly they are thought of as, well, normal.
My guess would be possibly, Islam has the potential to become the number one religon. It is the fastest growing religion today, but Christianity is still number one with 2 billion, Islam is behind at 1.5. I know thats not that "large" of a difference but you still can't count Christianity out.

Just because a few might be extremists doesn't mean all are. If you look at terrorist attacks from Muslims, there have actually been very few that were outside Muslim country's. So while we're busy screaming about Muslims killing us all, people don't seem to realize they're doing that to get their country's back. We invaded their land, and to them, we look like the bad guys. If you look at America, they're just as many radical Christians. What about the shooting of an abortion clinic doctor? The shooting of a guard at a holocaust museum? The media hypes up the Muslim aspect of terrorists because it makes people watch the news out of fear. That's what they always do, from swine flu to almost anything else. Honestly, today the "news" is mostly crap that's made to sell, not actual information...
So does everybody. You do just as bad stuff as most of them. So do we all.\\
Um, if your saying everybody from every where does bad stuff, yea thats what i am saying. We all are sinners and i get that. But i dont know if you are trying to say that i do as bad stuff as the extremist or not. Cuz i am really religious and dont concider myself necessarily a very bad person.
Please explain.
ok, heres the thing. As you may know, Arabs take up a good majority of the Muslim population. When i go to a Mosque, almost all of them are Arabs. Now, when they pray and are finished, a lot of them go outside and smoke, go to bars, and drink which is completely not part of our religion. Ive been to a lot of Mosques and this always happens. But im not saying that all of them do this. almost half of them do follow the religion correctly. However, to my disappointment, as many Muslims scholars say, the people of Islam are now more corrupted Muslims than people who actually follow it correctly.
Now another thing are the governements in the countries itself. Egypt, (which my father has his half decent from), Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc. all have a government not following Islam. Now thats alright, but when the government leaders call them selves Islamic nd then corrupt the people with by opening strip bars, bars, alowing to drink, etc. Now, they indulge themselves with the riches they have leaving many poor people in these countries. Also, the Muslim countries do not unite together which is sad because now, like we said, Palestinians have to fight off the Isrealis themselves. In the six day war (where my grandfather fought and died there), Egypt and other countries did have to fight back, and did strive to help palistinians. but stil, they fail to unite and just help this religion.
Some Hispanic people think whites aren't right. Does that make all Hispanics bad?
Did i ever say that Arabs are bad? Did I ever say that Hispanics are great? No, i didnt. Why would i say that when they clearly are not? Im saying this since i am very religious and as Muslims we are very connected and have no racial view among each other. But its sad when our own brothers turn against us and discriminate me just cuz im not the same race as them. I grew up having to deal with racial conflicts all around and when i think i could get a break in my own Mosque, they do this to me. Life isnt fair, i know that, but i think that that is wrong of some of em. But AGAIN. I AM NOT SAYING ALL ARABS ARE BAD!! why would i say that when my dads half Arab! I just dont agree with what most of them are doing! They are putting a not so great image on the Religion, but im not saying only arabs are doing this. Sure there are other races that are muslim that put a bad image on the religion. But again, since Arabs are the majority of the religion, they do most stuff that arent following the religion. Again, NOT ALL OF THEM DO THIS.
Pray tell me what way they should fight back?
Killing yourself along with other civilians is not the way to fight and not in any way visble in the Quaran. Sure, their homeland was taken away by the isrealis and that is injustice, but killing with the suicide bombing isnt the right way and may god have mercy on their souls. I dont know what they could do really, just proves how (i think) God is testing them. I think they should be patient and try to occupy Isreali grounds. If they there is a shot fired, then this is the means to fight back. Terrible plan, but again i dont know. They should try to aviod just killing civilians and what they are doing is just injustice to isreali families that lost their lives. And while it was injustice for the Isreali to kill the millions to occupy the Holy land, if you do the same evil that the evil had done, wouldnt that make you evil?
But i dont know if you are trying to say that i do as bad stuff as the extremist or not. Cuz i am really religious and dont concider myself necessarily a very bad person.
What I'm trying to get across is that we all do "bad stuff", and although there are a few extremists, mostly the Arabs and Muslims are just like you and me.
Egypt, (which my father has his half decent from), Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc. all have a government not following Islam. Now thats alright, but when the government leaders call them selves Islamic nd then corrupt the people with by opening strip bars, bars, alowing to drink, etc.
Hence the terrorist organizations who are defending Islam.

This goes beyond religious fervor. Say five men came to your house, an forced you and your family out at gunpoint, taking all your possessions and money what would you do? You'd call the cops. So you call the cops, and guess what? They send some men over to help the other five. Muslim or not, you will try to get your house back. That's what the Afghans and Palestinians are doing. Trying to get their house back.
