i think you are mistaken....the qu'ran and islam is the only religion that calls for death if you leave the religion. Death for apostasy is believed to be acceptable by a large amount of muslims.
as well the centre of Islam ,Mecca, still has public beheadings stonings and flogging.
if the Vatican ,the centre of Christianity, was cutting off heads in St peters square the world would be going insane protesting.....Islam is violent like it or not....political correctness here is not helping
I thought there was only one Islam?
Yep, a religion of peace....

So... not one Islam then? Was Shahfaisal wrong?
Sure, just as there is only one version of Christianity, right?
Which version of Christianity has been in the news week in and week out beheading, burning, and generally reeking havoc around the globe??
Don't hold back Mikey Mike, we wanna hear your input
It is my opinion that it takes a certain combination of Arab culture and Islam to create the violent/hardcore people that we often hear about also Mecca is in an Arab country. Other cultures have evolved enough to not take the words of the Koran so literally.
Arab culture + Muslim religion = higher probability for crazy shenanigans.
To suggest that Islamic belief inherently leads to support of violence is simplistic at best. If such were the case, the 1.4 billion Muslims in the world would have long since laid waste to non-Muslims all around the world.
I would suppose in your scenario the other 3.6 billion christians and catholics would just roll over and set out the welcome mat.
2.2 billion, not 3.6, and either way, there is still not any signs of any Armageddon in play that would be visible were the 1.4 billion Muslims inherently violent as a whole.
EDit - it seems that my figures are dated. Wiki shows the Muslim population as numbering 1.8 billion people worldwide. Still no signs of apocalyptic Armageddon at the hands of rampaging Muslim hordes.
Rank | Religion | Nb of adherents |
---|---|---|
1 | Christianity | 2.0 billion |
Catholic | 1.5 billion |
