Islam today is about as dangerous as Christianity was during the Inquisition, thankfully they are in a more concentrated area. Do you think in a few hundred years they will become more mainstream like today's christians, with only a few hardcore wackos like Pat Robertson (today's watered-down christian version of Osama Bin-Laden).

The Prophet Muhammad (d. 632 CE) is generally regarded as the founder of Islam. However, Muslims argue that all the previous prophets (including Moses, David, and Jesus) were Muslims as well, in the sense that they held to the monotheistic faith professed by Muhammad. They claim that this faith became perverted and warped, and that - while elements of it are evident in Judaism and Christianity - Islam is the actual truth that God has delivered to mankind again and again throughout history. I think this is what you are alluding to. As for being an "official" religion - as the poster above says, Islam very rapidly created an Arabic-speaking empire, which stretched from Spain to Central Asia by a century after the Prophet's death. Christianity, by contrast, remained a marginal and minority religion until it was picked up by Constantine and promoted to the official Roman religion in the 4th century CE. But Christianity was definitely an "official" religion three centuries before the lifetime of Muhammad.

Islam is never "uncivilised". If you learned about Islamic history, you will know that during after Islam came, it launched a knowledgeable civilisation. Muslims were leading in science, mathematics, philosophy, architechture, medicine, travel, all because of Islam's call to pursue knowledge and the embetterment of the community. The cities of Baghdad, Basrah and Cordova were the centers of intellectualism.


Islam is never dangerous. Jewish thought flourished under Islamic rule ago. Muslim and Jewish scholars shared philosophies and thoughts with each other. Any religion is allowed to be practiced, as long as it does not undermine Islam.


If Muslims practice the true Islam, yes, Muslims will recapture their old glory days, and Muslims will be back on the path of civilisation, but sadly, most aren't.

Great question. The minute someone dares to suggest something like this you can bet there'll be a rampaging muslim mob attacking a dirt road and burning a flag somewhere in the world (and in doing so re afirming their lack of civilisation!). I wish the muslim faith would develope a sense of humour and not take it's self so seriously. Just imagine a film studio in Iran making the Muslim version of Life of Brian? This does not really answer your question but I wanted to raise these points.
Happy Christmas

Christianity is more dangerous with wackos like Pat Robertson and many other right-wing religious nutjobs than any other religion right now. I don't know if it's occured to anyone but Islam tends to leave people alone, historically, unless you do something to step on their toes, which Christianity and materialism tends to enjoy doing A LOT.

Islam will never be civilizied unless Muslims reject the Quran which tell them to kill infidels over and over again "Quran Sura 47:4: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks". And we're kidding ourselves if we think that is going to happen. Unlike Christianity which focuses on the man vs his nature, Islam is 90 percent political. It focuses on expanding it's rule by any means.

Not sure if we have a few hundred years to figure that one out my friend. Your idea is 'civilized' mainstream Christians? I do not consider any culture that turns the head of innocents away from Our Father to be civilized. It is a wicked thing to lead people away from the teaching of Our Lord, and away from the righteous path to Our Creator. I pray "Oh Lord, have mercy on the innocent, they have been blinded by that which is evil.Let the wickedness that deceives them know the wrath of God." "Glory be to God!"

It's likely. Many scholars see the present ferment in Islam as the harbinger of an Islamic reformation. They need it desperately.
