[mjidotengo]

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. In fact, it’s projected that by the end of the century, there will be more Muslims than Christians in the population.

But how much do you know about the faith?

I can provide all insights.

A religion is judged by sufferings it can lessen and lead to a tragedy free eternal happy life. This is generally achieved by

1. Abiding Nature's Bio Laws.
2. doing service to the humanity and practicing spirituality
3. worshiping the real god who guides and protects them.

If we examine Islam we find

1. Muslim do not abide by Nature's Bio Laws and violet it.
2. By killing, humans, animals, and each other, they do disservice to humanity and to themselves.
3. Their spirituality is directed towards appeasing Allah who misguides and cannot provide protection to them. This is the reason Muslims are a highly disturbed community live in fear and lose in war with Jews and Christians.
4. Allah is no god. He is a ghost who possessed Holy Prophet Muhammad. Any one who follows him is doomed.

Muslims were banished from Middle East for millions of years and had to live in the underworld. They are in spotlight for past few decades only.

Regarding Islam as being the fastest growing religion,it is not because of its nobility or goodness, but its birth rate. With growing education, Muslims would soon realize that Allah does nothing as compared to Jesus and most of them would take to Christianity.

What are the Islamic principles. One god Allah ?, Four wives? Jehad ? Animal/human Sacrifice on Id festival ? Stoned to death for adultery? Chop hands for theft ?

Muslims are dreaming for a world empire as they are not scientific and are unaware of Nature's Bio-Laws. Nature favors and protects virtuous persons and kills evil doers. Muslims, if they are not starving or not killing each other, they are bombed by Christians as anyone can see, so establishing a world empire would remain a distant dream.

OPVerma, if you remember, I have written to you numerous times that ALLAH is Arabic and when translated into English, the word is GOD.

Your concept of Islam is severely distorted. Islam is a religion of PEACE. I encourage you to seek out information about ISLAM that is produced by Muslims instead of resorting to information dispersed by people who have issues for whatever reason with ISLAM.

I suspect you have had virtually no relationship(s) with Muslims and possibly think the terrorist claiming to be Muslims are Muslims which is not true.

Big John Who are you ? What is your Academic Qualification ? Have you read Quoran ? What is your experience with Allah ? Have you sacrificed any animal with your hands on Id festival ?

Arabic meaning does not make Allah as god. Tell me if Allah has done any divine work ?

How do you say Islam is a peaceful religion ? Its history is filled with blood shed that continues till date.

Well, let me tell you that I know enough about it to the point I wish it didn't gain a foothold in civilised society.
