Except, of course, when the Islamists try to shove Sharia Law down people's throats. Then, they spread through intimidation.Wolphoenix wrote:

Other religions allow you to think for yourself(As strange as it sounds) And thats why many religions can live in harmony with each other because they all share the common belief of the individual not the group dynamic.
Uh...........you do know that about the only difference between Jesus and Mohammed was a few hundred years?
No there is more. Jesus preached peace and love for all people, Muhammed only for those who submit to him, Jesus said he who is without sin cast the first stone, Muhammed said slay those who insult allah. I can go on but i gotta go sleep.Bubbalo wrote:

Which explains why Muhammed ordered his followers to protect peoples of the book (that is, Jews and Christians). You don't know what a personality cult is, do you?
Well first off Mohammad did not write the Koran. Few know it but Mohammad's friend and successor, Abu Bakar, who wrote down all od Mohammad's teachings was the writer of the Koran. Second if all Muslims lived as close to the Koran as they are supposed to then they would be a much more peaceful. However the people in power disregard the Koran and the lowest people are to ill educated to know the Koran well so the bad guys with power twist the Koran so the uneducated people at the bottom become their lackies. It's pretty sad.David.P wrote:

In the beginning yes in order to gain sympathy and trust then when he gained enough power he forced them to pay or convert.Bubbalo wrote:

Yes i do using propaganda to further your own image in people's minds, Why do you think to this day they you cant disagree with any of the prophets words? Why do you think the cartoons protests happened? I mean you can find millions of cartoons making fun of jesus and no uproar from the christians infact its the opposite they forgive you! But muslims start decapitating people who had nothing to do with it.(Aka nun in africa. She was a nurse who was helping the muslim children for god sakes)
Go ahead keep defending Islam you live in a western country you grew up exposed to christianity, You knew of alternatives, You were given a choice they were'nt, Islam has no if's and's or but's just What the koran says. Go ahead call me a racist i dont care! Until you or your family has had the same experiences with one of them then you'll understand my point of view.
