Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America. Islam’s appeal lies in the simplicity of its principles. In its harmonious interplay of faith with reason, its vision coordinates the sacred and the secular into a comprehensive whole. Due to Islam’s stress on equality and brotherhood of its community, it has special appeal for the historically oppressed. These egalitarian principles also draw converts from the middle class America. Thus, mosques, Islamic centers and schools truly represent a melting pot for the Muslims all over America.

Pakistan is starting to attack Islam after a man murdered a famous female politician in front of a crowd. He didn't have any remorse because he believes Allah doesn't want women to work.

Oh boy...I'm writing a paper right now on Medieval romances, and apparently, our current ideas of love and romance (the idealization and spiritualization of romantic love) owe a great deal to Islamic literature.
Of course, that's going back a thousand years...

It reminds me of the barbarians. It will destroy modern civilization if we let it. Another few decades and we'll all be speaking Arabic.
