i mean when you say: My opposition is to Islamism, which is a form of fascism with a religious veneer.
Then its useless to argue with you or discuss with you anything sensible.

Why? That is what it is. Here is a definition of fasicm:
[QUOTE]
a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion

Replace "nationalist" with "religious" and it fits to a tee.

When you say that the Evangelists are harmless and only preach 10 commandments then you are totally out of touch with what is happening in the USA.

What do you think their agenda is? They are harmless in that they can never achieve their limited goals, aside from banning abortion.

But that does not harm Islam it may hurt me but Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world

I said Islamism, not Islam. Islamism was created in the 1920's by people like Mawdudi.
It is the fast growing because of insanely high birth rates. It is ironic that Muslims love to quote the "fastest growing" stat and then always complain about the Islamic world being behind the rest of the world. Well, controlling your birth rate would be a start. The economies of Muslim countries cannot support high population growth. Pakistan's population has increased by an average of 4.6 million a year this decade. Where are they going to work? This places a further strain on a country which already struggles to feed its people.
Why not have an open competition? Muslims can send imams to US prisons to convert people (where many do convert), Muslims can openly proselytize in Christian countries, Buddhist countries, Hindu countries, etc. Why do few Muslim countries allow the same? Saudi Arabia is by far the biggest contributor to Islamic dawah around the world yet it allows 0 practice of any religion other than Islam let alone allow others to propagate their religions there. Another example is Muslims in the US often talk about promoting their religion--even though their countries of origin do not allow minority religions the same opportunity.
This is regarding competition between religions. Then there is the issue of criticizing religions. It is allowed everywhere except Islamic nations (well, you can criticize religions--as long as it doesn't happen to be Islam). In the US or UK you can write a book titled "God is not Great" and be a prominent author and commentator (Christopher Hithcnes); if a Pakistani or Saudi did the same he would be murdered.
I conclude from this there is a degree of insecurity regarding religion endemic to the Islamic world.

the complete international Media and non Islamic countries are propagating against Islam and Muslims 24/7 wh

By what? They simply report what Islamists do. It is Islamists who say they act in the name of Islam, not the media. Muslims complain about media reporting of Islamists yet often, especially those in the West, say nothing about the Islamists themselves. Why was Rushdie condemned by Muslims around the world while only one fatwa has been issued against Bin Laden declaring him a "kafir"?
We don't know what effect recent events have had on Islam because Islamic nations threaten those who convert out of Islam with murder. Therefore converts out of Islam in Muslim nations remain silent. There is no way to know for sure what effect Islamist violence has had on Islam because of this. Why are Muslims the only ones who call for killing people for changing their religion (well, if they change out of Islam. If they change into Islam they are hailed as heroes)? There are no Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, or Tao killings based on apostasy. You keep acting as if things like this are the work of a minority but in fact some of them are widely accepted. It is debatable whether Islam itself calls for this. If you read literally it does but if you look at the context it doesn't. What matters now is that Islamic jurists during the formative period of shariah decided it does and this is accepted by most ulema.
