Lol, just about the most paranoid post I've seen. I can't imagine why neither of my two muslim exes either A. tried cutting my head off, B. tried cutting off the heads of my family & friends or C. tried to start a jihad. I just can't figure it out. nononsense says they should've been wanting to take over the country, why haven't they?

As an atheist, I would say the same about most christians.

But people do define freedom differently, so there you are.

This is true of some muslims. It is manifestly not true for all. Anymore than it is true to say that all christians blame jews for jesus' death.

In fact, the american muslim citizens that I know do all these things.

I worked with one in my last job but he was fired for sexually assaulting women with psychiatric problems. One crashed into me once and tried to lie about it but was unsuccessful. I don't know them but the boston bomber families lives in the state and keep committing crimes.

Islam was founded nearly 700 years after Christ went to the Cross.

While Christ was hear on earth, he warned about many false prophets that would come and deceive many.

Jesus said, "I am the first and I am the last." He also said, "No one comes to the Father except through me."

Yet Islam claims to be "superior?" It was a made-up religion from the beginning. It is a cult. Mohammad was a pedophile lunatic. His followers told him that God must be speaking to him.

The reason Christ was sent to earth was to announce the Good News (Gospel) of salvation by Faith in Christ. Man reconciled to God through Faith in Jesus, not by works. How could Islam be superior to that? It is a "religion" of works and obedience, the very things Christ told us would not save us. Obedience to the Law does not save, because no one can keep the Law perfectly. Therefore Christ came to sacrifice himself, to take our sins upon himself.

Finally, Islam slaughters millions in the name of Allah. They claim that is what they are required to do, "kill the infidel." But for them, all those who are not Muslims are "Infidels."

Does that sound like a superior "religion."

The Muslim community does not have a great reputation in the UK despite the big Muslim population here.

I think most have been tarred with the same brush and for the majority that pay there way in life I feel quite sorry for. I've gone school and been brought up with a good few and even they hate the extremists ( more than we do ) that every one thinks of when you say the word Muslim.

I don't agree with a lot of their views but I take great pride in taking people by face value and as I've personally not suffered I've not got a problem with them.

No. But I don't have any friends that are devout in any religion. I have a few Christian friends but they approach the bible very liberally. If I can't have wine or go out for drinks and dinner with someone I doubt they are going to click as a friend.

I think religious adherents killing each other to prove which religion is superior is a very good reason to be wary of any religion. They've all been bad actors at some point in history. Including buddhists, which was a significant disappointment to me.

All religions have a fatal flaw - and that is that believers are human...

Jesus was a false prophet based on the Torah. He and his followers have led millions in the wrong path, with their faith being used to slaughter those who did not fall for it for the past 2000 years. Does that sound like a superior "religion?"
