Would the West slowly transform China into a Christian nation in 21st century…Would the Islam become a marginalized religion in 21st century?
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
Chinese are so irreligious, I dont think thats even remotely possible... But ultimately, I would welcome a non religous Chinese superpower, as it would offer some balance in a world with a sole superpower in the form of America.

^ are you sure? somewhere I read they have the highest buddhist following. there are two other relgions too but i cant remember the name (one of them may be tao)

Personal experience, I have never met any Chinese who were very religous...
The nature of Budhhist religon as practiced in China, and other Chinese relgions and philosophies are very differnt from our understanding of relgion in the Islamic sense. So I dont think one can approach relgion in China in same way that you can Islam in Pakistan.
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
^^ china is a communist country and thus they are aethists
the fulon gong religious movement is banned in china
and besides china doesn't want islam to spread there, all it would do cause insurgencies like the one in its western provinces
all the major world powers are at war with muslims
usa, europe, russia, india and china
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
^They are at war not with Islam, but with Muslims… This whole Al Qaeda thing is formost political, which uses religion to give itself legitmacy.
But Muslims dont start fighting just because they are Muslim.
The Major world pwers (India 
and you forgot Israel) have some serious soul searching to do in understanding why so many Muslims feel aggrieved.
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
Might as well also add Democratic Republic of Congo to the list of world powers. 
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
PS. Aren't most Chinese followers of Confucianism?
Khair, regardless of their religion, they are our friends, I heard there's a lot of Chinese people in Pak, that is very good especially since I'm moving back, I like Oriental ppl, they are garam.

Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!

You said that Chinese dont want Islam to spread because they are afraid of uprisings. Hence, your sort of associating Islam with uprisings and other conflicts...
Sounded like you were implying that Muslims, being Muslims, would by nature instigate insurgencies and conflict...
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
^^ ok, i might have structured that sentence in a wrong way
But you have to admit, no where do Muslims exist as a minority are they living peacefully
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
This is what you yourself said in this thread…
“Where ever there are Muslims, there is religious related tension of one sort or another…I frankly dont have much faith in Muslims in general…”

Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
My 2 cents:
Muslims are the scum bags of the earth. Its true all people are at war with Islam: Russia, India, China, USA, EU, etc. Hell even Muslims are at war with Islam.
What the hell do we ever do that is productive? Nothing. We have all the damn resources, but are too divided and handicapped by illiteracy, corruption, ignorance, greed.
Reaffirming the Muslims position in world affairs im putting them one notch above Sub Saharan Africa; except we have a more dynamic populace, culture, and geography.
Re: Imagine a Christian Chinese Nation!
Wow… EXCELLENT Investagative journalism…
I realize that there are tensions where ever their are Muslims in large numbers. I dont dispute that. But those problems are due to genuine issues that Muslims feel they are victims of…
Merc implied that that Muslims make trouble only because its their nature… I dont think its this, but because of genuine grievances.
If you go back and read what I wrote to Merc, I mentioned that the so called world powers should examine their own policies and try to understand why so many Muslims have resentment for them.
Having said that though, I also admit that I dont trust many Muslims… I dont have much faith in them to do the right thing… Muslims have genuine resentment, but I dont trust them to deal with those resentments ina practical manor.
Anyways, nice try…

I admit that... But its more complex then that I think...
A lot of places, Muslims are minorites, and the problems that they make, have more to do with them being marginalized as a minority and not because they are Muslims.
But do Muslims make trouble where ever they are? Muslims in America and Canda for instance, are pretty peacefull, other then a few incidences here and there.
