"In all religions there are good and bad people"

There are indeed good an bad in all religions. The larger issue is not about individual members of religion, but the religions themselves. Are all religions good? Can a religion be good if it teaches and adheres to policies of intolerance?

There were good and bad people within the nations that made war upon free nations in WWII. We did not respond with war because all people of the enemy nations were bad, but because the ideology that ruled the enemy nations was bad.

As for converting Muslims to Christianity, I've noted a number of posting to this thread that have me seeing a "Christian" mirror image of "Islam" teetering on the brink of forced conversions. My personal conviction holds that only those conversions to Christianity that are made of free will are true conversions.

The world is today in the midst of a religious war. Islam has brought this war upon the world. It is near impossible to look upon the barbarity of Islamic conflicts in Africa that have killed hundreds of thousands and made millions more refugees, Islamic terror against Hindus in India, against Buddhists in Thailand, against Christians in Indonesia and Lebanon, against Jews wherever they reside, and against Europeans and Americans, many that have no claimed personal religion, Muslim against Muslim in Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria, Somalia and not see Islam as the single thread that binds all these conflicts together.

Your replies on this thread have been critical of others, yet, not a single solution have you offered. The old adage applies, "If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."

There is a solution..stop trying to force your version of christianity on me or anyone else. Thw whole idea that by converting and or gemocide on all Muslims is a solution to the present problem is laughable at best.

I mean it when I say that this is a hate thread. A couple of born again christians with the deep belief that they are right and all others are wrong scares the frig out of me.

Again I state that there are 1.5 billion muslims....get used to it.

Am I defending their religion...damn rights I am. I believe that freedom of religion is a key...a cornerstone of our own freedoms.

The idea of focing others to believe what I believe and taking that freedom away sickens me.
