I'm not surprised islamics are militant and so dislike us infidels.

Look at it through their eyes.

There the islamics are :- praying 5* plus a day, starving for a month (daylight hours only) every year, not wanking, no music, cover their womens whole bodies, memorising the koran word for word, they can't leave by threat of death.

What do us infidels do ??
Some of us go to church when we want, we party, eat bacon, our women walk around 1/2 naked (or better).
And to rub salt into the wound, we on average have a higher standard of living and they are losing numbers !!!!!!!!!

It's VERY unfair

Gotta agree with you on this one sprint. In fact Muhammad (pbuh) confirmed this.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "This world is like a prison for the believer and like paradise for the unbeliever".

Quote:


During the peak of Islamic civilisation, when Muslims ruled most of the known world, and our living standards and wealth far outstripped those of most other people in the world, a scholar was asked how this hadith can possibly be true,to which he replied:

"Compared to the afterlife that awaits the believers, even this prosperity and lifestyle we have is like a prison for us, and compared to the afterlife that awaits the unbelievers, this world is like a paradise for them"

Quote:


All world statistics disagree with this. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Besides, it's about quality, not quantity. Much better to have 100 people who actually believe in and practise their religion, than 1000 who treat it like a joke, and mock it just to please the atheists.

look at it like this, if you have had a head ache every day of your life you wouldnt know you had one, u wouldnt think your life was any worse than anyone elses.

If  a person who knew how to cure head aches came along they would naturally ttry their hardest to help you out of simple human love.

same for christians and muslims, they believe they have a cure for your head ache you dont relaise you even have.

Known world? They ruled what is now the Muslim middle east. Not exactly the 'known world'. Or even an important part of it.

This is not the bazaar, you do not need to make boasting and exageration an permanent feature of exchange with others.

Islam is dying. All the mindless killing in its name is a sign of its death throes. It knows it has no basis for beeing confident. It thrashes and slashes and lashes out. It cannot reason, it cannot put its case because reason is alien to it, an enemy like sunlight.
It attracts all the cut-throats, desperados, rabble-rousers and death-loving devinats, and that is its only source of growth. With the communist ideology gone, it is the next great hope fior all the lunatics.

I bet that a great dose of your attraction to it was political rather than spiritual, Mr Hizb ul tahrir.  Intellectually, it is negligable. Spiritually, it is a laughable catalogue of mish-mash and misundertsandings and persoanal pique by Muhammed.

Its only attraction is to marauders, conquerors, those who dream of world domination.
I pity those who were born into it. You do not have that excuse.

The Islamic world encompassed most of the known world, Just accept it, it was many centuries ago, so it really shouldn't be all that frightful for you now, in the comfort of the 21st. century.

It wasn't out of context, it was quite relevant to the conversation, and it is a simple historical fact, are you still jealous all these centuries later?

Quote:


On the contrary, Islam is in a clear state of revival, and that's what's gotten people like you revved up. You're afraid of it's imminent return. If it was as you claim, you'd be treating it as you treat all other extinct civilisations, with reverence and respect. But you don't, quite clearly inidicating you know full well it is a rising challenge. And even if you're in a state of denial, it's quite clear from the actions of the Western leaders that they recognise this.

And you insult their dignity by such statements. Do you think Christian women are also oppressed for thinking they have to cover their breasts?
