Hi all, I really appreciate participating in your forum and will start my posting with new information.
After the tragic attack on 9/11 and the war on terrorism, Islam remain the fastest-growing religion in America and in the world although religion is no longer dominates everyday life in Western society.

Because you're simply using sources from Western civilization media... give me a break. Don't tell me.. you think Prophet Muhammad was a terrorist too right?

Actually can you answer that question for me?...

You don't know me, how can you even make that statement?

I don't have to know you... I just have to know your ideologies, obviously you jumped onto the ban wagon of makin ignorant statements such as callin Islam a form of fallacy. If you truely weren't ignorant to Islam... you'd understand that it's NO WHERE NEAR a form of fallacy.

LOL, the big bad West. Good way to dodge an arguement.

Muhammad was a warlord who raided caravans and had some questionable marriages. You tell me what he was.

What are my ideologies then? How do you know how much I've studied Islam? Why are you misinterpreting what I'm saying? Why do you refuse to read things I post? Why do you dodge my questions?

The article I linked to did not call Islam itself a fallacy. It called the "fastest growing" statement a fallacy. Oh wait, but it's the Big Bad West, so it must be wrong.

Hint: It's not a good thing to call someone ignorant when you refuse to read and understand things yourself and make false assumptions.

What's there to argue? We all know that Western Civilization and their media is misleading and brainwashing... if you disagree then I fully understand and we should end it there.

Good way to dodge my question, so I'll ask you again, do you believe Prophet Muhammad was a terrorist? I think this is a very simple question to ask. You're Christian yourself, no? So this question should not be hard for you to answer.

You're claiming that Islam is a fallacy only because it's truely the highest converting religion at this point, or am I wrong?

I read your article... all I see is labeling a religion that's popular a fallacy.

The way I see it is... modern day Christianity failed the people and those people went on a hunt to find the truth. Islam is where the truth is. That's why I made a claim of Christians and Atheists converting to Islam, because it is flawless and authentic.

Now back to the fallacy, Islam is not the better religion because people are converting to Islam at a high rate. What makes it better is its authenticity. Maybe I must have misunderstood the point that the thread starter was making. But to me it seems like he was only informing the people of factual information. Then you used the term of fallacy attackin the fact that Islam is currently at a high rate of conversion, as if you still don't want to give Islam any kind of credit ability.

And about the Western Civilization... compared to the Eastern... trust me I feel ashamed of the Western Civilization. I love the faith that the people of the East have, their cultures, and how strong they keep their morals. There's alot more to it. But quite honestly Western Civilizations is goin down the drains.

EDIT: I just realized that article came from a Catholic website... I can't believe I just wasted my time even arguing with even just a little bit of debate.

I'd like to end the debate now, I was wondering why it seems so biased and condescending... moving on.
