along with hindu cult, christianity too is a backward looking faith. Islam, on the other hand, very scientific and practical faith so that humanity can attain spiritual happiness.
N.B: shall I expect hardline white christian fanatics and so called " former muslims" coming at me throwing insults and epithets?

The Vatican has denied expanding the number of exorcists: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/166065.html
However Catholics have been casting out demons ever since Jesus and the Apostles did it.
Modern psychology says that most of the people who had demons cast out of them were probably miraculously cured from schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. But their cures were still miracles.
The Catholic Church believes that real demonic possessions are rare but possible, so they keep a few exorcists around just in case.
The Church has guidelines in place to take great care to exhaust psychological options before calling in an exorcist.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1673: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt4.htm#1673
Anglicanism, several Protestant denominations, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Judaism, Hinduism, Scientology, and Islam also practice some kind of exorcism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcism
With love in Christ.

Sorry mate, you're totally asking for it. Monotheistic Judaism-derived religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity are, full stop, no holds-barred, the most warlike and the most divisive faiths on the face of the planet. It starts with the Canaanites and doesn't stop. I agree that Islam, particularly when compared to medieval christianity comes out as a more rational religion, you guys kept aristotle and plato for them whilst they were busy destroying it in a mad anti-heretical orgy of bloodlust and bookburning. You guys had no problem really, with the round earth whilst christians had so many people baked in houses for uttering such a blasphemy until one of their own monks relented and gave them the holy nudge ("er guys, actually, it is round, and everybody with a telescope has always been able to tell it is".)
But too suggest that Islam, the shunners of pork, are scientific. Absolutely bloody ridiculous mate. You want to praise science? Come to the dark side and join the free-thinkers.

I exorcism 4 times a week, that's how I stay in great shape.
Know please don't try to sneak in a how great islam is thing here. Listen I've read some of quran stopped because it had allot of things I don't agree with like having virgins in Heaven is this satans heaven or mans it is not of God. But most importantly I will never deny Jesus As the only begotten Son of God. I have read the Bible and now even read the book of mormon and love it but don't agree with allot of other writings the mormons have. Now to the question if Jesus is with us who could be against us. Let Jesus in your heart and you won't have to worry about satan.

Well it seems to prove that they are intent on writing more into their fairy stories!!!!
And they expect thinking people to take them seriously!!!!!!
Da ent wife goes further and proves that Christians are so afraid of atheists and anyone not following their belief that they slander and accuse them of slurs. A very big pot calling a very small kettle black!!!! No doubt even more people will leave the church rather than be associated with such postings!!!!

Yes, it is possible for someone to be demon possessed. Islam is a cult of possession of the human mind and soul.
When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.
