"Do you have proof for the assertion that Islam is the cause of nearly all world violence?"


Can you name me a country where Muslims have been able to live under a non-Muslim government, once they became a sizable minority? Also, can you name me a Muslim country where there is any respect at all for people who are not Muslim.

Well, your questions are not proof of your assertion, but ok, I'll answer them.

Can you name me a country where Muslims have been able to live under a non-Muslim government, once they became a sizable minority? I can name two, Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world. While there has been some violence, there is not threat of an Islamic government in the country. Second, Turkey, which also has a secular government which is not likely to give way to Islamism. For your second question: can you name me a Muslim country where there is any respect at all for people who are not Muslim. I'm not sure of your definition of Muslim country. Do you mean Muslim regime, or a country in which there is a majority of Muslims? And respect from whom? Many Muslims in Irans love Americans, including non-Muslim Americans, but their regime does not. Non-Muslims are well recieved by the regimes of Jordan, the UAE, and Kuwait, although there is a large percentage of the populace of those countries that do not take well to non-Muslims. There are also of course, Turkey and Indonesia. Why do you ask?
