"Five to 6 million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the country's second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane." JOHAN BLANK, USNEWS (7/20/98)
"In fact, religion experts say Islam is the second-largest religion in the United States... Islam has 5 million to 6 million members, followed by Judaism, with approximately 4.5 million..... And Islam is believed to be the fastest-growing religion in the country, with half its expansion coming from new immigrants and the other half from conversions." By ELSA C. ARNETT, Knight-Ridder News Service
Interestingly, even the Muslims who quote 2:256 usually believe in Islamic teachings that sound very much like religious compulsion. These would be the laws punishing apostasy by death (or imprisonment, for females), and the institutionalized discrimination against religious minorities under Islamic rule that is sometimes referred to as dhimmiitude.

Verse 193 of the same Sura instructs Muslims to "fight with them (non-Muslims) until there is no more persecution and religion is only for Allah." This reinforces the narcissistic nature of Islam, which places Muslims above non-Muslims, and applies very different standards to both groups.

This changed dramatically after he attained the power to conquer, which he eventually used with impunity to bring other tribes into the Muslim fold. Contrast verse 2:256 with Suras 9 and 5, which were the last revealed, and it is easy to see why Islam has been anything but a religion of peace from the time of Muhammad to the present day.
By Thedickknows [Affiliate User] 1226885980 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAh no. What did Jesus say that was bigoted? How can you deny the bigotry in the Quran and Hadith! You are being intellectually dishonest! You ignore the totality of it and reveal one verses that seemingly says no compulsion but you ignore the dozens and dozens that compel you to persecute, enslave, force conversion, or murder! Your the selective one! Now let's look at the verses you are misinterpreting!

when u "apprehend" both sides of a matter, u will be able to better judge it,
and be far from being selective and shallow-minded,
-but what if i asked u a question, Can u prove that Islam calls for peace and love and yet from the Quran and Hadith??
try to see it from another point of view,
if u'r among those "copy pasters" so let me tell u that u r like a sheep following the herd, if not, then try to investigate the other side just to make sure and b objective and honest,,
and u said it "I can prove everything I say using only the Quran and Hadith"
Look, if u r at war with a small weak innocent fly, u will invent a thousand excuse to kill it, though it's only a fly!
and it goes like that with everything, u won't understand Islam or comprehend it as clear as we comprehend it coz simply u r at war with Islam, Hatred blinds u,
U only see what appeals to u or what u really want to see, Muslims understand it well,
all u say is that u prove everything using Quran and Hadith-
Allah says also [2:256] Let there b no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks.
u r still selective & not honest, u mention what appeals to u and ignore what doesn't,
[Matthew 34]Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
U say "If it is bigoted than I am against it"
Don't u think what Jesus says is bigotry??
I use the Quran and Hadith as evidence in order to deduce a factual and evidential synopsis of what Islam truly is! It is a fascist intolerant bigoted evil death cult bent on the subjugation, domination, or death of all non Muslims!
Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
I am not using any media outlet! I am using the Quran and Hadith! Do you think the media wrote the Quran and Hadith! the atrocities committed by Muslims around the world only go to support the fascist nad intolerant nature that is taught in the Quran! I can prove everything I say using only the Quran and Hadith!

By usha87 [Affiliate User] 1226797309 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWow, still going!
Such determined effort! God Bless you!
I don't see the Jews terrorizing, persecuting and slaughtering people around the world! If it is bigoted than I am against it. Then I am against both! Just because one is bad does not excuse the other! No other religion produces the killing sprees that Islam does nearly every day of the year. Neither do they have verses in their holy texts that arguably support it. Nor do they have large groups across the globe dedicated to the mass murder of people who worship a different god. Islam is evil!

By rita21200 [Affiliate User] 1226713222 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSurely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (8:55)
Christianity teaches that God loves all men, but hates sin. The Quran never says this. Instead it explicitly declares that Allah does not love those who do not believe in him:
For He loves not those who reject Faith (30:45)
And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers (3:85)
