Why should I not be afraid of the amount of muslims? Why should I not be afraid of what can EASILY change my way of life.
If I thought that I could practise my religion peacefully, evangelise in my own country (not that I do :D), eat bacon and drink beer then I would be happy. Fact is, that islam does NOT allow tolerance of other religions. Im sick and tired of people stating that its only the extremists. Why dont muslims take care of those "extremist" places then. Why dont they change Iran. Why dont they change Saudi Arabia.
Fact is, that islam for its own good intentions is not tolerant and will not be. Im cool with that as long as we are left along, but the sheer numbers states demograhically that we wont.
Im cool with muslims as individuals, truly I am. However I have NO time for the religion itself.

At a point of my life I realized the role of religion in this world and that's when I was shocked when I heard people associating terrorists to muslims and vice versa. Because I would remember my friends and how peaceful and open-minded they were yet they were muslims. I came to conclude that either way, religion that is based on scripture will always turn evil at some point. Moderation of Religion with scripture is the strain I fear the most because that generates the kind of people that take what they like from religion and leave or manipulate the rest to fit their own lives. And radicalism belongs to that group.
I came to realize that for myself, being non-religious makes life way easier for me to live and sort of cooperates along with my infinite-curiosity towards this world. I am by no means an oppressor or a repressor against any person out there as long as they didn't cause me harm. I feel that if religion was meant to be personal and kept that way we wouldn't have had a problem with it. But that's the main problem of religion. The fact that it promotes random acts of violence directed towards other people of other ethnicities makes it flawed. And in a big way.

I have a question for you ShazaM, and its just your opinion nothing more. In your understanding of the religions which you seem to have a fair bit of knowledge about, would you say that islam or Catholism is the religion that is most likely and/or is exploited/gives creedence to attacks.
