Lets talk about the peacefull majority of muslims

[kimba1]

I saw a video that points out many examples in history of how the majority has no influence to its radical very small minority.

Made me think how by alrights we have no reason to hear the complaints of muslims since they cant really help us with our problems

P.S. the vid points out how it took only a few to take out the trade center and no majority has any power to stop it.

Isn't this the purpose of social pressure?

[kimba1]

ironicly the reverse has been the very violent case

On average, the wars that have had the most casualties have been incited by White Christians. This is only partly because they are better at making more effective weapons.

The Mongols have to be in the top ten.

And ...

Does WWII count as being started by Christians?

Does WWII count as being started by Christians?

Of course. WWII began on September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. The Germans and the Poles were all Christians.

The US did not enter until Pearl Harbor, but even without Pearl Harbor, the US would have had to fight Germany. The alternative would have been to refuse to sell ammo and weapons to the British.

If Fascists count as Christians , then Agnostics and Atheists can count as  Communists.

It is a simple world if you language it right.

actually WW2 was almost counter to what I'm stating. I recall the nazis had trouble with keeping it's own army under control. Meaning the majority was starting to fight back against the ruling minority.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The Nazis as well as the Russians are of a Christian tradition. I would not say that they are good Christians, but then, Al Qaeda and Isis are not good Muslims, either.

Just because someone hollers Allah Akbar! when they score a hit does not mean that they even think they are fighting for Allah. The war with the Muslims is about the cultural control of Muslim society that is being pushed aside by Western consumerism.They feel threatened by changes in the ways leaders are selected, feminism, a lack of employment and the inferiority both economic and technological of  their societies to Western society.

Recently i just explained to my sister about the conflict in ireland and realized this can be applied globally.

True religions is a strong component. But actually quite abit more is going on than religion. These are in the most basic terms groups in charge and sometimes don't like the other group.

I use this term because by using religious context it strat to not make any sense why they attack at alll. Ex. Muslims are by the thier belief aceptting of all religions., etc.

Islam claims that Mohammad was the last and greatest messenger (prophet) of Allah. There is only one God (no, no Trinity, either) and that he was given the Koran orally to spread orally throughout the world. Mohammad was illiterate. Somehow Muslims make this sound like he was therefore more miraculous.  The Koran is a rather confusing muddle and quite poorly organized.It is written in verse, which means that it is far less impressive when translated. Muslims see Christians and Jews as fello 'people of the book" who do not quite understand Allah's words because Moses and Jesus were not as good at carrying God's word to mankind.

Hindus and Buddhists are seen as abominable and misguided idolators that merit no respect or attention.

Most Muslims do not think that everyone will be converted anytime soon, just as most Christians do not really expect Jesus to pop in next Thursday.But there are fanatics in both groups, and the Muslims are the most militant and warlike.
