Islam will survive if you want to look at it logically. Christians don't strap on bombs and kill children and other innocent people.
But if you read the bible we know that those in Christ will leave one day but thank God for the 144k.

Bravo !!! how nicely you have taken quranic verses out of context, where is the context??? i can give you many verses to explain wht is fight in islam...Our fight is always defensive not offensive !!!
Muslims man 'should" not marry four woman but they are just given the permission but if they can't do justice to more than one wives than they are forbidden !!!
world wide jihad??? lol, well if chirstains would attack their country wickedly so obviously they will resist , why should they give their place so easily to christains??and this reistance is called jihad, while wht christains are killing them WORLDWIDLY is the innocence of christains , Bravo!!
muslim men are allowed to marry only the peoples of book..christains and jews...and not for adding their stock or ending non-muslims bloodlines but its just a permission to make the life easy for them and those ladies who want to marry muslim men !!
Many flaws in your questions and need extensive explantion and i dont have that much time to waste on this. But simply telling you 'dear Biased and brainwashed christain fellow' !!! that with all this wht you have told, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and definitely it is better adapted for survival in future as its most logical one and peoples are entering into it by using their brain and not by following the crap what you have followed
Good luck and try harder !!1

At the risk of contradicting the dharma and projecting a holier than thou attitude, I would have to say Buddhism far surpasses either of the two. That is unless we were invaded by a hostile intelligent race, in which case a world of buddhists may not stand a chance.

The dominant cultures of both Islam and christianity are focused on peace and are well suited to survival.
The only people who believe the things you wrote are the extremists of either religion--and neither religion is or should be judged by the actions or beliefs of fanatics--or by the distorted smear tactics that give rise to the statements in your post.

Why must they be mutally exclusive? It is only the extremists of both groups that insist one must prevail over the other. The problem is, they are going to end up destroying the world they are bound and determined to dominate. Neither Jesus nor Mohammed preached exclusivity, and they are praying to the same God, just calling him by there own name. What happened to respecting the differences of others? I'm so tired of this argument, from both sides. The problem is, all of us in the middle will be the ones to perish in their quest for dominance...

If you think this world is full of hate, war, death, and all that you can imagine that is bad right now, try living in a world under one religion in which the core belief is rule of law by any force that gets the job done, hate, religion by force, and no love for our fellow man to be found.
For the atheists and all other non-believers, I'll be glad when us Christians are out of here, but you won't be. PEACE!!!

Wow you managed to fit in the core doctrines in a couple of lines, so when did you do this research for your 3rd grade social studies project?

Obviously your views are slanted against Islam because you have never taken the time to learn of the religion (the majority of Muslims do not practice antiquated precepts) - your better off remaining agnostic as you need a certain level of intelligence to understand something that's bigger than your narrow level of thinking.

It depends on the future you want to have.
You view of the two religions is a bit skewed and more than a little bias. Is it too much for you to present them from an equally neutral point of view?
