I'm not anti Muslim but I'm not pro Muslim either.

I'd prefer everyone keep their religion to themselves and stop trying to use government to implement it.

With that said Islam inside the Middle East is full of bat **** crazies.

Please take a moment and watch the video. :)
 
I will care if the USA becomes a nation of any predominant religion that is full of self rightous bigots.....
We are not a christian nation as some would like to say, even tho christians far outnumber the other faiths.
There should be no theocracies on the planet, ever.....
 
Absolutely no way do I want my daughters or their children to become slaves under that gutter religion.
 
I prefer that America stays secular.
 
That video..it's a really subtle joke right? The tone of voice the narrator uses every time he says the word "immigrant" just made me bust out laughing. It's the tone you would expect a doctor to use telling some one he has terminal cancer. Khadafy saying that muslims don't need terrorism....what is the bad part about that?

The video also has a fundamental flaw(outside of the inability to do math...1.6 is not "almost a full point less than 2.11")...none of the countries it talks about is in danger of becoming "muslim", and more than the US is "european", only the ethnic makeup of those countries is changing. What effect that has, positive or negative, remains to be seen.

Thank you for linking the video, I did get a really good laugh out of it. That narrator is pure gold...in hushed, scared tone "suchandsuch country will have 5 million muslims in only seven (hushed tone)short(/hushed tone) years".
 
First of all, "America" as it is today could never become a "muslim" nation. However, if there was an influx of Muslims or a rash of Muslim conversions, I would like to think that our political philosophy of secular government would soften the theocratic elements of Islam and possibly influence Islam for the better in the long run.
 
The whole problem in the middle east causes liberals brains to explode because they feel they always need to support non whites yet Islam goes against everything they stand for so they throw those who agree with them in muslim countries under the bus.For instance a slight difference in pay between men and women they see in the west as evil but cutting womens heads off for not wearing a headscarf in the middle east is a "cultural thing".
 
All the Muslims will convert to atheism by the time my grandchildren are around, based on current data.

If that line of action fails, maybe we can just pay Israel to start a nuclear war in the Middle East and clip the Muslim population there. I bet the narrator of that video would support that.

Perhaps our government should start forcing Christian women to bear children or begin kidnapping Muslim babies and raising them in Christian homes.

Of course, if you have a different idea, Bkhad, feel free to expound upon it.
 
A muslim nation? As in under Sharia Law? Yes I would care, in fact it would only happen over my dead body.

I wouldnt put much hope in that Alot of the most atheistic countries have proved to be the biggest pushovers for Islamic fundamentalism in Europe.

It is? I consider cutting any ones heads off for any reason to be barbaric. And as a liberal who has spent time in the middle east, trust me when I say I have no illusions about just how vile the culture is there. Nice try at a really meaningless smear of us liberals, but it just don't fly.
 
If it became a 'muslim nation' in the way that many think it is a 'christian nation' today (and it is, in some ways) I don't think there would be much of a difference. I had a roommate from the UAE sophmore year, who eventually flunked out and went back to the middle east for school. After seeing America for the first time, then going back to the ME he made a comment that has stuck with me. The overly religious, under educated muslims in his home town mirrored precisely the overly religous, under educated group of Americans better known as rednecks. Changing from one Abrahamic religion to another would yeild little change

I'll be dead so I won't care and if we allow America to become Muslim it's because we want it to happen.

What the **** does race have to do with Islam? Islam isnt exclusive to Arabs. There are black, hispanic, asian and hell I have met white muslims. To answer to original OP ill be rotting in hell so my mind would be on other matters than what is going on in the mortal world.
 
That video is amusing at best, exaggerated at worst because some will believe it.

Fact is many Muslims every year convert to Christianity, atheism etc. The scary numbers the video is using are based primarily on births to Muslim family's. So the kids raised in a moderate Muslim households like in the US are not any kind of threat, and they are the majority in Europe and America.

Seems to me the video is saying every child born into a Muslim family wants Shira law, or some stupid crap like that.

Internet chat rooms gave morons a voice. You Tube gives them television shows. :roll:

Or any gutter religion, including Christianity. We were founded as a secular nation, we need to remain a secular nation.

Yeah... that's a lovely thought, but completely unrealistic.
 
I would care if America "officially" became any religion, muslim or no.

I would for historical reasons generally like to see America keep its christian bend when it comes to any particular religion simply because much of the foundation of this country was based on that and its a nod to history, but if the majority of people in some far gone future end up holding another religion in their hearts I wouldn't have a grave issue with it.
 
What segment of our society has accepted conversion to Islam?
Have they accepted ALL of it?
What have they had to give up?
Does anyone really think that free citizens in modern industrialized countries are going to accept any aspect of sharia law?
I think I will ask my wife to wear a burkha and report back her response.
Never mind, I don't want to visit an emergency room, again.:2razz:
 
I could care less if America trades Christianity for Islam, as long as our democratic traditions remain intact. There are secular Islamic nations, just like there are secular christian nations. Religions change to suit the desires of the local populace and political structure.

No. I was very specific about what I was talking about.

The Christian influence on this nation has been mostly harmless and the fact of the matter is that the Christian opposition to abortion is the morally correct one, and I'm an atheist. The present petty squabble over same-sex marriage is white-noise for the media to allow them to ignore real issues.

But Islam? A religion that tells women to hide their faces, when it's not telling them to dress up in canvas tents? That's an abomination.

The difference you describe is not Christianity vs Islam, it is secularism vs theocracy. If a Christian theocracy got a hold of our political system and actually enforced its rules things would get ugly in a hurry. Thankfully we're a secular, constitutional democracy, not a religious theocracy.
As to the original question, yes, I would be greatly disheartened to know that the USA was becoming an Islamic nation in the sense of a theocratic state. Just as I'd be greatly disheartened if the USA were to become a Christian nation.
