Answer 1

Quite frankly 99.9% of your stats are wrong.

Answer 2

To me the most vital thing Islam needs is some centralized authority speaking out against the acts of the radicals. Unfortunately, Islam is very non-hierarchical, so there is no central group of perceived leaders of the Islamic faith that speak with one voice and condemn the actions of the heretical.

Where is the public outcry from Islam's theologians over the acts of these radicals? It is missing in the media and the silence among the leadership is deafening to the observers on the sidelines.

If Christian radicals were performing the acts that we see Islamic fundamentalists doing, there would be a world outcry among the leaders of Christian organizations condemning these persons as heretics. It would be in all the newspapers, television, etc.

Muslims are quick to point to the violence recorded in the Christian bible and claim that Christianity’s early history was violent, too. But unlike the Bible where some very awful HISTORY is recorded, the violence described in the Qur’an is part of Islamic THEOLOGY. This is a very significant distinction between the two belief systems.

The famous Muslim scholar and “father of modern history” Ibn Khaldun states the dichotomy between jihad and defensive warfare thus:

In the Muslim community, the holy war [i.e. jihad] is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and the obligation to convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force... The other religious groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty for them, save only for purposes of defense... They are merely required to establish their religion among their own people. That is why the Israeilites after Moses and Joshua remained unconcerned with royal authority [e.g. a “caliphate”]. Their only concern was to establish their religion [not spread it to the nations]… But Islam is under obligation to gain power over other nations (The Muqudimmah, vol. 1 pg. 473).

I believe Islam is going through what the Christian faith went through during the Reformation. During the Reformation religious leaders were forced to carefully define their doctrines, that is, what do Christians really believe? This established a baseline of orthodoxy that then could be used as a litmus test for the practices of self-professed Christians.

Islamic leaders must do the same thing. They must codify their acceptable theologies, especially the violence now part of the Sharia, Muhammad’s Sunna (4:24, 4:92, 8:69, 24:33, 33:21, 33:50), and the “sword-verses” of the Qur’an (e.g., 9:5, 9:29). Then Muslim leaders should defend these theologies against heretics loudly and publicly.


I have found the non-Christian religions, such as Islam, to be philosophically indefensible, being internally incoherent or undermining human reason and experience. To better understand Islam, I suggest you review the following sites:

You should be afraid of the second 99.9%, not the first one. You made and statement and denied it. What is this?
Although you posted an insulting question, the guys above have given you a piece of their minds. The ones who are inclined to bomb you have long fuzzy beards and no mustaches. They are the sect that think Christians are infidels.....not all of us.

Answer 4

well, lets put it live this, isn't bush the one sending troops to Iraq where many troopers are getting killed? so isn't that sending a person to get kill? Muslims are not asking them to go over there to kill them! in fact, they Iraqis want them to leave! and who told you that we want to kill you? have I ever mention that to you? or to anyone else living in the USA? I don't think so! so before you write something like this, make sure you are correct about things. Do not put words in other people's mouth, or feelings in people's heart, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!

Answer 5

Diversity of religion is a richness for humanity. We should learn to live peacefully with other religions and work together to shape a better future for this planet.

Answer 6

Terrorists are not Muslims. Terrorism and murder are not allowed in Islam. If you murder someone you should get stoned to death. Anyway that's biased and racist to discriminated against Muslims for their religion and Arabs for their race. Racism is against the law and it's discrimination to discriminate against someone based on their skin color, national origin, sex, race, or religion.

Answer 7

Not quite sure where you are coming from but you should read my questinos concerning Religion and Spirituality. Spirituality is often lost to the politics of religion.
