Islam is about tiring the reader, not so much about truth (Scripture literature)

[WinterHold]

Your view does not explain the reason why some Muslims practice their religion based on real, personal belief, and total understanding for its rules and constraints.

The other opinion is that constitutions and codes of ethics that humans practice here on earth are not really satisfactory in all conditions; thus some people seek refugee in Islam's holy Quran. Islam as a word means submission as you said; and a Muslim must take a personal oath to abandon human beliefs and seek total refugee under God.

In other words; the secret for Islam's success is that it's simply providing a better story for our existence and a better system of rights stated in the Quran. Human laws and constraints failed to protect humanity and caused 2 world wars and caused us all to reach the bottleneck of apocalypse: nations of confused people aiming nukes at each other.

Nah, the "secret" of islam's success is the same as for all other successful religions, the sword.  Once compulsion and fear are removed, islam will die as surely as christianity currently is.

Aww, crapola I replied to a necroed thread without realising it.  And worse, I realised it first time round.

Christianity is incomparable to Islam in terms of violence; the amounts of genocides and death -and even the decoration of death with torture to the degree of producing torture machines to torture a whole continent; ending up in massacring the natives of that place and live in their place-.

Christianity was the tool Spaniards used to burn the Maya; then white Europeans used once more in the north.

How is that shameful history comparable to Islam's ? I feel very strange when somebody says that the conquest of America and the genocide of natives was lesser, not-sick kind of action if you compare it to Islam.

The sword is the secret of Europe's rise today, or should I say the rifles and atomic bomb?
