Quote:I think you are just being naive. Rule ? Hasn't Islamic influence been on the wane ? The abandonment of the caliphate for example, secular governments in islamic countries such as Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt (who acknowledge the existence of Israel) etc. The rejection of Islamic rule by the vast majority of Iranians. Rule ? By force, coercion, suicide bombings, dhimmitude, religious apartheid, tyranny, despotism like we saw in Afghanistan and what we see in Iraq and Iran ?The Islamic Influnece has been on the wane.
Who knows the truth ? Not I for sure but I am always skeptical of those who say they know the truth.
but it grows faster than ever and no matter of what is said of islam now on media and TV Channels, it is gaining popularity more than any other religion. It grows Very Fast in USA, Canada, Europe . force, coercion, suicide bombings, dhimmitude, religious apartheid, tyranny, and despotism have nothing to do with the basic teachings of islam which teaches mercy and love and respect. however , islam is built on loyalty to Allah( God), Islam and Moslems and not tyrnat leaders or fundamentalist views. I thought We dont judge a religion by what some of its followers do.Islamic moralistic teachings are superior to any other teachings and Islamic Law have proved to be superior to any kind of Law ever used on this planet and I have witnesses from worlds most popular soliciters who studied Islamic Law very well and realized that it is never earthly law and if applied in FULL, it can gurantee easy life and hastle-free social life, inwhich the poor is supported from everywhere. It does gurantee that racial difference has nothing to do with someones life,education, or social rank.....Black, white,red or whatever... All equal and this truly happened in Islamic History and stories are plentifull.. Jews and Christians lived a golden age under the islamic state and let us be fair for one second! and rememmber few stories that tells how just islam is!
