Worrying About the Future

[Bond]

Islam will just be transformed to fit into society like other religions have. I'm not too worried.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in Canada right now. Especially in Toronto.. tons of Muslims and immigrants from the Middle East. Now a days, in a lot of areas in Toronto, if you're white (and Christian), you're a minority. Kind of makes me feel uncomfortable (not in a racist way... just being from northern Ontario, there is little diversity when it comes to other religions and races). They are even trying to get a "Sharia Court" in Canada.. a Muslim Court (set up by Muslims).. so that Muslims can be governed by it... which, I am totally opposed to. Becuase they want to use the Koran to determine the rights of Muslims in Canada.

But I agree with Bond.. somehow it will be merge with society, just like Christianity has.

Wasn't Christianity somehow responsible for molding the society we know now?

Yes... America was built on the morals of the Bible. The world is so screwed up right now that I don't even want to have children. Too many changes for the worse are happening all over the world... in america and over seas. And yes... people will always twist the bible's words to fit there own needs.

We shouldn't expect them to be tolerant of our culture until we give them a reason. Actually respecting theirs would be a good start.

I would love to hear you're historical perspective on why the West is the problem in this tense relationship. For now I'm writing this off as your everyday liberal self-hate.

I dont want to start another hate forum...but what do you mean "your going to write this off as"? Was i sick the day your was the only opionion that counts? Whay can someone have an opinion without you saying how their views are wrong and illogical? Do like ruining people beliefs? Do you tell little children that there is no Santa, other than the fact that you dont think so?

I have no problem with you or what you say, just the manor you chose to say it in. You make it sound like you know everything.

Well, we'll start with the west's support of Israel. The country in violation of the most UN sanctions, and the largest terrorist state in the entire world.

Oh wait, I'm sorry.

They're "Freedom Fighters."

I don't think Christians and Muslims would ever get along that well. It's the same reason why Protestants will hate Catholics, why Muslims will hate Jews, and why Hindus will hate Muslims. Religion makes people too attached to their feelings.

I believe Osama said that America is the greatest threat to Islam. Now... could it possibly be because we're trying to spread Democracy?
