What prevents them from progressing? | |

Oddly enough, no ethnic American Muslim has ever carried out a terrorist attack. | |

hkbajwa, if everyone would be willing to go Muslim, please do enlighten me to what is so good about it, and I will see if it is convincing for me to become a Muslim. Obviously I'm currently stubborn and if I, an atheist, could be convinced, I think just about anyone could.
And from what I can see, fighting in three wars is violent. It takes hate and violence to kill another human being. Saying that he fought in three wars doesn't exactly help the idea that he was peaceful. To me, Christianity speaks more truths, as instead of declaring Jihad and fighting the invaders, Jesus taught non-violent resistence; something which many of today's Christians still aren't comprehending. In terms of a progressive and a philosopher I thought Jesus was one of the best and most convincing of the "prophets." He understood non-violence, generosity, and anti-materialism. Something which I really don't see in Islam or in Muhammad. And both Muslims and Christians believe in the same God yes? So what exactly should compel someone so to join Islam as you say? (Other than getting virgins in heaven that is)

More importantly, the majority of Muslims in the world live in Indonesia and surrounding countries, not the Middle East, Africa, or America. The other thing is that the world's oil is running out and there are no other natural resources in the Middle East so even those people who have billions right now are not going to be wealthy forever. | |
