no it's not. apparently 4000 muslims each day meet Jesus and convert to christianity. the truth in islam the religion and it's flaws is becoming more apparent as days goes as well as the truth in christianity as a religion and ITS flaws, that being Jesus Christ was NEVER a religion, he was the son of God, you can't pigeon him into a religion.

The list is endless, but just to mention a one…..just for us Africans to know Allah! That is enough! Equally the way we Africans were treating women’s was appalling, women in the Africa society couldn’t not be able to inherit, but in Islam it is allowed…Women were freed from the locks of ignorance and were allowed to read, African and Christians did not bother about this till in the near past.
Equally the issue of we Africa men’s to have so many concubine oblivious of the feeling of our partners was traumatizing , but Islam allowed we men to have a meaningful number of spouses, hence legal polygamous, let not talk about…..other unprintable behaviors which was abolished when Islam arrived.

What does the word "threat" mean?

[Americanized]

If you have to threaten someone with death for converting to another religion, there has to be something deeply wrong with your religion. Moslems worship the Devil, but pretend they worship God. Islam is as close to satanism as any mainstream religion can get. Whe you have your prophet receiving visions from the devil (Satanic Verses)and including them in the Koran, only to rescind his own words after he gets in trouble, you know there's something wrong with your religion. This war is a war between the Godly (Christians) and the Godless (Moslems), peiod!

[Americanized]

This is what the Koran says, and this is what the terrorists believe:

"Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage. . . . [i]f they attack you put them to the sword. Thus shall the unbelievers be rewarded: but if they desist, God is forgiving and merciful. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. But if they desist, fight none except the evil-doers"(2:190–93).

"Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know not" (2:216).

"They will not cease to fight against you until they force you to renounce your faith—if they are able. But whoever of you recants and dies an unbeliever, his works shall come to nothing in this world and in the world to come. Such men shall be the tenants of Hell, wherein they shall abide forever. Those that have embraced the Faith, and those that have fled their land and fought for the cause of God, may hope for God's mercy" (2:217–18).


And this is what the author wrote about 9-11:

In this light, the people who died on Sept. 11 were nothing more than fuel for the eternal fires of God's justice.

There you go again! Try educating yourself about Islam with an open mind. There's not point of the insults and name calling for the crazy action that the so called "muslims" do in the name of Jihad. Islam doesn't preach violence and neither do any religion.
Take a copy of the Quran, go through the suras. Or search Islam and violence and see what the Quran says.

Jibril, and the most hurtful thing among these somali men is, they go marry more than one wife and expect the wife to feed the kids alone. I am sure the only crime she did was to support the kids!

As a xian...you should say nuthin against muslims. Thats my view, the bible may be considered as bad. Didnt Jesus have a convo with the devil?? Isnt the Christian God a jealous and Vengeful God?? isnt that there? At the same time dont xians kill people to convert them to xianity. Do sum research and you will see. I am not defending islam in any way, i just think its very hypocritical for a christian to trash talk a muslim. Back to the main topic; I agree Islam is a threat to western societies b/c the more this war goes on the more pplz outside of the Americas want to learn about Islam and the more they learn the more they want to convert. I dont agree with collective religion and if i refuse to be a christian then i must also refuse to be a Muslim...they have very similar ideologies.
