Islam religion & conversion

Society Religion & Philosophy
1

Mass conversions were popular till 1950. Mass conversions usually took place mostly in backward and illiterate areas. All kind of religious books were not translated by that period. Technically it was not possible for the preachers to reach each and every person and make him ready for conversion to a particular religion.

Mass conversions could never be voluntary. And conversion to other religion did not change the actual condition, poverty conditions of the converts.

People from upper society converted in a hope to remain close to power of commanding religion.

Islam prohibits birth control.

Today the myth of Islamic growth has only one pillar that is birth rate.

What nonesense? That means every milisec. birt of one child. Think before you talk.

And this below is a lie. Right!?

“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 fastest-growing religion in the country, with half its expansion coming from new immigrants and the other half from conversions.”
Elsa C. Arnett, KNIGHT-RIDDER News Service

This is what your indian brother(s) think of Islam:

“Sense of justice is one of the most wonderful ideals of Islam, because as I read in the Qur’an I find those dynamic principles of life, not mystic but practical ethics for the daily conduct of life suited to the whole world.” Lectures on “The Ideals of Islam;” SPEECHES AND WRITINGS OF SAROJINI NAIDU, Madras

So much for illiterate ppl and their areas:

“Medieval Islam was technologically advanced and open to innovation. It achieved far higher literacy rates than in contemporary Europe;it assimilated the legacy of classical Greek civilization to such a degree that many classical books are now known to us only through Arabic copies. It invented windmills ,trigonometry, lateen sails and made major advances in metallurgy, mechanical and chemical engineering and irrigation methods. In the middle-ages the flow of technology was
overwhelmingly from Islam to Europe rather from Europe to Islam. Only after the 1500’s did the net direction of flow begin to reverse.” Jared Diamond, UCLA sociologist, and physiologist who won the Pulitzer Prize for his book: “Guns, Germs, and Steel.”

Which religious books? Are you hyper?

Please have at least some self respect for yourself and think before you speak!

Not only are your above comments ludicrous and foolish, but they also show your level of intelligence and stupidity.

Have you ever wondered why the majority of the Guppies on this Forum, sometimes challenge your views and sometimes say nothing at all and then sometimes they abruptly cut you off!!!

We know your game, intelligence level and hidden agendas and only amuse ourselves with statistics, such as yourself.

According to your logic, not only is America a backward and illiterate place, but the whole World is a backward place!!

Guess what!! The fastest growing religion in the whole World and USA is ISLAM!! Duhh!!

Stick to Harry Potter. At least that way we'll know where you derive your knowledge from!!!

See Ya Cuz I Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya.

And why wouldn’t it with such a large prison population?

Infoman

Ask your Democratically Elected Predominantly Caucasian Christian Members of Parliament why the prisons are disproportionately full in the first place.

Equality by any chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it a false that mass conversions are a phenomenon of past and today expansion of Islam totally depends on birth rate?

Our friends easily get irritated when we question any myth behind Islam.
I appreciate this hk that Islam and democracy cannot correlate.

In States and Europe Islam is at second or third in quantity that is solely due to emigration.

Historically Islam has its roots in Arab land and it was expended to Central Asia, South Asia and African countries.
Islam could penetrate successfully in areas where civilizations were antagonist to modernization.

In India though an Islamic repressive rule prevailed for all around eight hundred years, it could attract only a part of the gentry.
In Europe, in Spain it was totally out rooted.

hk who are you pointing at?

Anand,
only a ignorent fool like you can skip posts of ppl who try to explain you the opposite by providing quotes, statements and facts.
I think its of no use discussing with you unless I dont agree with you all the time. Mankind defines this as a monologue. Therefor I would suggest you to search for "monologue" forum.

"Ignorence is the key(cause) to selfishness."

I'm outta here....
