It's actually the world's largest religion. There are way more Muslims than there are Christians.

If they bomb people because America is the big bad bully, why do they bomb other countries embassies?

Or maybe the extremists just hate anyone who isn't a part of their little club. Y'know, like so many thousands of other nutjobs throughout history.

By and large they don't. And there are Christian extremists aplenty.



Not even close. Why do you think this, anyway?

Was this a troll? I'm not so good at recognizing them as some of you guys are.

But no, it's not the world's largest religion. Christianity currently holds that title.

Also, React for president.

I think arabic is the most spoken language on the planet, but not all arabs are muslims. Maybe that was the mixup.

I think that one goes to Mandarin.

Mandarin followed by English.

Mandarin does not really count because different dialects are not mutually intelligible. This is exacerbated by the abundance of homophones in Chinese.

The Qu'ran is written in Arabic. Muslims, like Jews, learn their ancient language to study their sacred texts. Jews do this as a rite of passage; I'm unsure if Muslims do the same.

Nihilism is a copout.

Thing is, some of them really do hate "our freedoms" even if that hatred is limited to freedom of speech and expression.

Being culturally sensitive in that culture's territory is one thing, but it's hard to disagree with the view that "if we're doing it in our borders, they can go fuck themselves." For example, I love it when Charlie Hebdo publishes an issue full of Mohammed cartoons.

My mistake.

I could have sworn that with everyone in the west becoming agnostic and/or atheist that Islam surpassed Christianity in the last decade. However, I double-checked, and Christianity still has more adherents than Islam...by a lot.

The influence of Christianity has been on the decline since the Catholic Reformation, it has continued to decline through the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the Communist era, and yet even as its decline continues apace it will remain a powerful force for centuries to come.

And you don't think that Islam and Hinduism are losing adherents to secularization as well?

Meanwhile, secularization has been a force in the Jewish faith for a very long time. Most Reform Jews believe that whether or not God exists, we have an obligation to do what he expects of us.

Because the Christian relationship with God is more carrot-and-stick, they often find this conviction very difficult to understand.

I think that muslims will lose their numbers to atheism and agnosticism slower because we don't kill heretics and unbelievers anymore.

Plus, there were never that many Jews to begin with.
