At first, I want to make sure noone feels offended by anything I post. I have complete respect for the islam, and my best friend is a muslim. Do not think I use this as a conspiracy or hatebreeding, I just want to know what you guys think. Thank you!
Alright, the thing is, islam is spreading rather fast. I wouldn't mind if it wouldn't bring any problems with it, but unfortunatly, it does. Every religion brings trouble besides the good it brings, but I wanted to disucss the "risk" of islam spreading this quickly. If I would write something similar to the Koran, I would be arrested for hatebreeding. The koran contains a few good things, like the peacefull time of the prophet, but also a big part of the violent parts of the time of the prophet. beating woman, slaves, wars, etc. This is what some muslims get taught to do. They get taught to be the boss, dominant, above all. They think of christians, atheists etc as lesser creatures, and they treat them this way. It's a small minority that does follow this path, but what if more people would start to follow it?
Once again: NO disprespect. I have respect of EVERY religion in the world. I just want to discuss the dangers of the islam. (NOT that the islam only brings dangers!!)
The type of person that says 'no disrespect but...' are often the most disrespectful. Also, can you actual speak english? are you a native speaker because 'the islam' doesn't make sense. On topic, you seem to be talking about the most radical of the radical muslims - just like christians, jews and everyone else - the majority are good people. and like all the other aforementioned religions, there is always a threat of radicalism and extremism.

If you think I disrespect islam, go ahead. Can't prove I don't, but I might get that chance later.
Islam is a perfectly fine english word, avorne. I've been taught, I've heard it everywhere, read it everywhere and even googled it. Yep. It's perfectly english, or atleast an accent.
Anyway, yes, I'm talking about the radical part. But the difference between islam and any other BIG religion is, that a muslim is taught he is above all else. That makes the Islam more radical of itself than any other. I'm not talking about the good muslims. My best friend is amongst those and I haven't got the least of problems with that. I'm more talking about the radical islam, and how it would increase?
using christianity as an example here. Aren't christians taught that they are folowing the right relgion? that they - through christ alone - acheive salvation. So, in a manner of speaking, christians are taught that they are above all others.

Avorne as a christian myself i can tell you that unfortunately you are very very wrong in this "christians are taught they are above all others." idea. The bible teaches that all men are equal in God's eyes its just that when Jesus returns the unbelievers will be cast into the lake of fire and the believers will ascend into heaven to live there for eternity.

Oh and one more thing Avorne if your going to post at least make an attempt to spell correctly like the rest of us. It does not look like you even tried.
I apologize for my spelling. Anyway, so i'm right? You say that the believers (christians) will ascend to heaven - while everyone else will be sent to Hell? Seems to confirm my point
MageGrayWolf - Like I said, Christianity was just an example. And I agree, sadly it does seem to work for most religions.
We're not saying we're better then other people though. We're saying we just happen to be right. Being wrong about something doesn't make you a bad person.
Not every religion has a god, buddism for example.

There's no rule which says you aren't allowed to make spelling mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives, but who cares about the little ones?

That is a matter of thinking. Christianity is a religion about thinking, and Islam about doing (jihad). The jihad can be a good thing, it can bring people together, but also it could end up in a bloody business. I'm mainly talking about the last thing. Christianity doesn't order it's followers to kill others, just trying to convert them. There are multiple versions of a jihad, and one of them is war. Killing un-believers. That is the part I'm talking about.
I can see that I acted rashly and misunderstood the meaning of the things you said. I saw only the things I wanted, and with those things I became angry. I can now understand your point of view and am forced to agree that there are problems with Islam and with its rapid growth. I am sorry for being so out of order and unkind with my words.

I felt offender at first, but one should be able to expect and be able to have these things in a discussion. I'm atleast glad you said something. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post. I hope it's clear now
I do. And so do all the other Grammar Nazis.
To make a problem out of a mistake is to make a problem out of excistance. Mistakes happen, grammer and spelling mistakes included!
On topic: So you are essentially wondering what the effects of Islams rapid spread will be? Whether the increased number of followers will mean an increased number of radical Muslims who choose to follow the 'bad' parts of the Koran?
in my opinion, with proper education about Islam and about morality, the threat of people choosing to be bad because of Islam should be minimal.
