Eman is just stating his view. That's all. If it intimidates you, tough.

Well you might be confused but Eman is not. And I will aggressively state my views and positions. I seek to convert no one for conversion is a personal decision. I will exercise my Constitutional right to speak my mind.

This thread is just another ploy to try to throw a curve ball to modulate the veiws of Eman.

That's all well and good, but I know a little something about the religion. And foremost is that they fully acknowledge that they won't convince everyone to join their religion and don't employ active missionary work in the sense Christians do. Now the radicals- the minority of the religion, do think "infidels" should convert or die, but that's really no worse than I see of radical Christians, except the jihadists do their own dirty work.

Just as interesting is an important point of Muslim theology in that the clergy of other religions are to be unharmed at all costs. Also, no one can be made a Muslim against their will... that whole submission to god thing again.

ASK them about "all islam" planet.
The NON-radicals think that it will REALLY happen but not right now.
The radicals want it NOW.

They DO think that they are better than you and will not share much with you at all
