In my community, 98 percent of people are god loving, people loving christians. I think the real reason Islam is making a jump right now is because of the recent conflicts overseas, as many of the terrorism acts over there are because of islam. I realize what i say here may offend, as there are many peaceful people that believe in islam. But know this: Islam is NOT A PEACEFUL religion. Why are people suicide bombing? Because they believe that they are getting rewards in heaven.
Another reason why Islam has been making a jump right now is because it is similar to Christianity.
But trust me, you are not forced to read this, but if you want to be happy, go buy a bible and crack it open. Follow EVERYTHING it says, except what is contradicted by the laws in the new testament. Go to church. Might sound bad, but give it a chance! If you follow the laws and love Jesus, then you will definetly like what you get after you pass away ^^
By that throw away my morals as a human being if the bible says otherwise, even God himself gave man reason and morals, Even the bible isn't 100% accurate and on top of that the Christian Church itself hides the truth from the public to preserve its old presence and practices and literally hand picks which apostle's book makes it into our bible. I don't know where this anti-Islam movement is coming from (probably American Politics), you guys talk as if a Muslim has personally intervened in your personal life and brought hell. Even though what Muslims practice are old Christian traditions taken to extreme points with the added bonus of what Muhammad preached and Middle Asian traditions. Can you really blame Islam for being a couple hundred years behind Christianity in historical terms? Can't you guys remember it wasn't that long ago that the ideologies of freedom were born which in itself is heresy and the church then had to reform itself from its contradicting practices? The only thing you can blame Islam is for not having that many blessed radicals who would give up their life's for new ideas. Also Middle Asia couldn't and wouldn't adapt to western ways because of all the damage that have been done by the Western Empires! Would you blame them for not following the ways of the people who killed and exploited their children/grandfathers/mothers/fathers/etc.. Yes so what Muhammad had a few violent passages towards the end of his life, he above all else was human like all the other apostles and he wasn't perfect, he probably did all for the right reasons because he probably was facing invasions, which in a sense people are manipulating his last words for their own gains. The only perfect apostle that I know of is Jesus and was probably the only one who never resorted to violence yet gave up the most precious thing for us, his own body, to forgive our sins, in a sense to give us a freedom of choice and always have the ability to come back and repent. Jesus = Freedom, Freedom of Choice, Mercy but above all never hate those you don't understand. But still those in the church try to distort this image build upon their own views and dismiss this basic simplistic view point. Even Muhammad acknowledges Jesus as an apostle but like he said the old books lost its way because it was influenced by other peoples personal views and the true message has been permanently distorted. Also you'll be surprised on how much it takes for a person to throw away their life's needlessly. Also to the horrible conditions they live in, if you don't live a life similar to theirs and have all this luxuries, who are you to judge them when they are promised that if they throw away their life for the sake of their family to have enough food for the year. We cannot judge them for their actions only God could do that and believing the mainstream media is bull crap and the real reason why this people blow themselves up isn't known and in a sense we can't never know what they have been told, so what makes you think that the media knows the truth

#i guess what i am trying to say is , everything at the end of the day is up to the one SIN flaw in humens we want too much all the time,

if we wanted less there wouldnt be fights WARS, Distubes ,

do you get what i am saying
I agree, it is the simple lusts and pleasures that lead humans into self-destruction, but people are never pleased with what is enough to live in this world, they want more unnecessary luxuries and it's those ideals that lead us to war, but for someone to understand this beautiful goal, they need to see the bigger picture, that to live a simple life is beautiful in itself and usually that vision doesn't come by that easily. It's through multitude of harsh experience and educational enlightenment that one would be just satisfied with a simple life, but that in itself is not a guarantee because its hard to break through the arrogance of some people's unnecessary lustful reality.
