Approximately 1.6 billion of the Earth's estimated 7 billion people are Muslim

(according to Wikipedia).

If the RWers were right that the Muslim faith demands that all non-Muslims be killed, then why are there still non-Muslims left in this world?

1. I did come across mention

of when it is likely to reach 2 billion and they will then represent over 25% of the world population. Not that I attach any importance those figures when they are reached.

2. I personally think that is not the religion thats at fault

But rather the culture and upbringing of various people.

3. Well, in many countries

that are predominantly Muslim, you would be hard-pressed to separate religion from culture and upbringing. For many people, the former is an integral part of the latter.

6. Oddly enough, it seems that many RWers really want to take the path

you are describing of the "Muslim" dominated countries ... to have "religious" take over the U.S. ...

4. Religion, almost universally, promotes irrational thinking.

Religious radicalism, of all denominations, combines irrational beliefs with claims of moral superiority and mandates to act on those beliefs to impose those beliefs, or rule by those beliefs, on others.

Our nation was founded on principals that included strict separation of church and state precisely because of the prior two hundred years of religion inspired turmoil and civil war in England. It isn't Islam that is the problem, it is the death throes of the Bronze Age patriarchal religions that is the problem.

5. For many centuries, the Christian church prescribed death for all non-Christians, Jews given pass,

yet non-Christians persist. It is because man's reach exceeds his grasp.
