That which you have been given is but a fleeting comfort of this life. Better and more enduring is that which Allah has for those who believe and put their trust in Him; who avoid gross sins and indecencies and, when angered, are willing to forgive; who obey their Lord, attend to their prayers, and conduct their affairs by mutual consent; who bestow in alms a part of that which We have given them and, when oppressed, seek to redress their wrongs. [Al-Qur'an, Sura: 42 (Ash-Shura), Ayat: 36-39]

The greatness of a belief is not determined by the number of its adherents but by its coherence and its inherent truths, its usefulness and practicability. There was a time that all the humanity believed that the Earth was flat. All philosophers and prophets concurred and the common sense confirmed it. Yet it was not true.
Islam did play an important part in human civilization. But was that a positive or a negative role? How many human lives were sacrificed at the altar of Allah? The Prophet exterminated the Jews of Arabia who called that land home for 2000 years. They had alliances with their Arab compatriots and intermarried with them. They were completely Arabianized. There was no religious conflict in Arabia. The Prophet not only introduced religious intolerance, he undertook the ethnic cleansing of the Arabia and instigated a divinely ordained hatred between his followers and the Jews that is taking its toll even up to this day. His command to kill the idolaters destroyed much more human lives in 1400 years than Hitler succeeded to destroy in 13 years. Only in India the death toll was over 90 million. Yes Islam had a great impact on the minds of its followers. But we paid and keep paying with our lives for that impact. The suffering and backwardness of Islamic nations is the result of that impact.

Actually it is the SECOND fastest growing religion. Christianity still beats Islam 2-1 in gaining converts, probably because Christianity preaches release from evil through the forgiveness of sins and Islam preaches violence and forced ( by the sword) conversions.

you know because the Muslims were so fast in forgiving the Pope. Those nuns that died for their faith was just a little misunderstanding, accident if you will. Oh and I still haven't seen a Muslims say sorry for crashing those planes, and blowing up all those buildings and that Ship. ah sarcasm my only outlet

with no statisitcal research to support your comment, for the sake of argument lets say its true.....

Meth is the fastest growing drug in many areas..... dosnt mean we should all do it.

If you choose to follow a false prophet then friend thats your right ... you have that ability to make that choice.... but because lots of people are doing something dosnt mean its the proper thing to do.
I recall when i was a child my mother asking that famous question that im sure many of you have heard......

If all your friends ran off a cliff would you do it to???

no because i have better sense than that...... and in answer to Islam..... no i have better sense than that.
