Islam is a counter-hegemonic force, period. Anyone who has seriously studied the intent of that ideology would conclude you are arguing against the wind.

Also Christianity was not primarily spread by the sword. For example, a bunch of Christian slaves in Denmark, captured during Viking slave raids, eventually started to convert their Masters. After that, Christianity blended into the Danes culture. That is 180 degrees out of phase concerning the desire of Islam's main man, Muhammad and their beliefs/orders (Hadis).

You are high on hopium.

“If you don’t think you have a dog in this fight you’re blind!”

The quote you cited regarding whether I have a dog in this fight with Islam as do Christians and Jews on a THEOLOGICAL level — particularly whether they worship the same God or Gods. I don’t care.

Regarding whether Islam’s violent expansionism affects me and other practitioners of religions that did not originate in the Middle East, I refer you to comment #12:

Most Pagans believe that the Almighty will appear to a given tribe at a given time in a form [or forms] that they would accept as Divine.. -- not really. The Nordics and Romans and Greeks didn't believe that -- to the Romans their own gods were the "natural gods" and the other peoples had superstitions

there are over 100 references in the Quran to killing the Infidel. But, there was a time when Christians slew the unbeliever who refused to convert.

That's a very, very vague and unquantified assertion about Christians. How about some specific detail? Was it four Christians after a night of drinking, or was it vast armies with ostensible theological and legal supports?

Those who worship the God of Abraham [Jews, Christians and Muslims] ...

Do a little research on who (actually, what) it is that muslims worship.

Actually, “People of the Book” are allowed to keep their religion IF they agree to pay the Jizya and submit to Dhimmitude with it’s discriminatory restrictions. Non-PotB, like pagans, for instance, had to convert to Islam or die. Exceptions were made, like India, but probably because there were too many Hindus to kill.

If that’s the case, what about Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, or Bangladesh? They were all originally Hindu.

Stopped right there - that statement is 100% wrong and factually inaccurate.

The muzzies worship satan (aka allah). Their "Book of Satanic Verses" declared war on God and His Judaeo-Christian followers

Any attempt to link the satanic, savage muzzies to God is pure propaganda from an incompetent and intellectually stupid author.

I guess you missed this part of the sentence...

“Not all muslims seem to adhere to their own rules...”

Yep. The Crusades were defensive and necessary. I think we might be entering into a new one.

Good grief.

So the fundamental problem with Islam is that it is not Christianity? It would seem that the Muslims are thinking something similar and are demonstrating far more resolve in correcting this problem as they see it. If we’re going to be having a Holy War based upon which form of dogmatism is the stronger, I’m betting on the Mohammedans.

But let me offer this:

When we, as finite beings...
- Presume to know Divine Will and go further to act — and even kill — in the name of God,
- Decide that our religion is the only valid one and the non-believer is by definition damned,
- That the entire purpose of our finite lives is to determine what “place” our immortal souls will reside for all eternity...

Life becomes cheap.

Other people become means to an end.

The mere existence of those who do not share our beliefs is a threat, so we are not only permitted, but obliged to conquer, plunder and slaughter.

Non-believers, being by definition damned, are not entitled to life; they are less-than human in their refusal to accept our God and practice our religion. We can therefore take from them, enslave them, rape them, murder them, because what we do to them here on this Earth is nothing compared to what awaits them on the Other Side.

Such is the nature of theological exclusivism, hence it is the problem, not which religion upon which it is based is the Correct one. The finite cannot claim to know the mind of the Infinite, much less presume to act — and even kill — in the name of God.

Dogmatism is blasphemy.
