These are projections, and projections are generally wrong... well, not generally, always.
If anyone truly believes that the world population will become 75% Muslim in just 35 years; I have a bridge for sale.
That's estimated change in population size.
Says so right in the chart.
I have a quote from the linked article you can have for free.
Quote:
As a result, according to the Pew Research projections, by 2050 there will be near parity between Muslims (2.8 billion, or 30% of the population) and Christians (2.9 billion, or 31%), possibly for the first time in history.
Not sure why had to bring up Nazi Germany.

That is unless of course millions of Christians and Jews start being persecuted and beheaded, while those who aren't religious (or of different religions) stand by (out of ignorance) and allow it to happen.

I agree with you. The excuse that most are good, while turning their heads, is almost as bad as actually being extreme.
The thing about being moderate is having the fortitude to fight against any and all extremes that attempt to usurp the freedom of everyone. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Gowon, three generations of Sung's, Tojo...etc. All extremists, all with the blood of millions on their hands.
Very good points. In the History of the world Pacifists have always been slaughtered. If there was ever a truly peaceful tribe on the planet they didn't last long.
Pamela Geller, a well known activist who is against Islamic terrorism and jihad has been threatened by Muslims due to drawing Muhammad in a cartoon. Boston bombers planned on beheading her because she is practicing freedom of speech in America, and purchased sharp knives online and admitted the plan on beheading her. Religion of peace at work....
According to Islam, it is death penalty for blasphemy and apostasy. They declared fatwas against Pamela Geller!
She knew the mess she was getting herself into. If she wants to provoke people, she shouldn't expect my sympathies should anything happen to her.
Not that anything should, but reality is..she put herself in that position. No one else. And she knows this.
She's making her own bed, then she complains when she can't sleep.
This.^^ She deliberately set out to denigrate a religion's beliefs for no other reason than to provoke them, then whines when they are provoked. Big crocodile tears for Ms. Geller. That's all she deserves for the blatant disrespect she displays. And to think Christians claim they're being persecuted when people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

Don't see Christians putting hits on the people who insult their religion in the US though

Oh, please. Gellar did what she did for one reason and one reason only, to provoke a violent response so she could claim victimhood. I have no compassion for someone who uses their hate as a weapon and reaps hate directed at them in response. She got exactly what she wanted. Why should anyone feel anything (other than contempt) for her now?
