Hopefully they convert to Christianity or whatever soon because I think the world or muslims at least will finally live in peace after they convert.

Please leave Islam then.... Islam already has enough stupid people.

Because its the reality

Islam is growing at a very rapid pace; not only that - but devotion to the religion has also been on the rise; this is evident in surge of prayers, mosque attendance, pilgrimage, and overall awareness of the religion.

People like you have been constipating over Islam for 1400 years and will continue to constipate until the world comes to an end.

Islam is here to stay, Islam is here to grow and Islam is here to prevail.

Allah hu Akbar

Because of the history of this religion and the denial it's followers live in and there is no answers

and many other things like scientific things

He's been here for awhile mate, and comes off as more logical member. He was reasonable with his positions, and I figured who would eventually became atheist. The more logic and reason one uses, the further it takes them away from religion. That doesn't disprove religion, it just means today lots of people in the world critically think to a high degree due to stricter educational standards, and it leads them to different conclusions.

I would love for God to be real, I tried convincing myself for a very long period, but what I saw around me didn't support that theory. It's too much to sum up in a short paragraph, it's a process that took about 4-5 years. That being said, I don't believe in being anti-Muslim and support plights of people who happen to be Muslim if it's a just plight.
