Your point is valid. Time will tell. I think it depends largely on how future Muslims understand their religion. It also depends on how the rest of the world treats them. It also depends on the secular world. A world with a secular majority, is going to be a different world, than a Christian -- Islamic binary. Quote Link to comment

And, please don't get me wrong (y'all); I'm not blaming the Islamic religion here as the culprit. It (religion) is only the vessel that is being used by some power hungry elites for their own powerplay... That "play" seems prone to "collateral damage". And yes, Christian religion (and their elite) will be part of that "play" too. As long as we keep talking to one another, there's hope. But if I look at the "leadership" currently being "chosen" by the evangelists... I am not so certain if "they" are willing to talk... Quote Link to comment

If all religion were to vanish from the world; the world would still be a mess. That is because Humanity would still be a mess. Then again, faith based, supernatural religion, tends to make things worse. When supernatural, faith based religion, is behind Holy War; it's difficult to stop. The Godly don't want to negotiate with the Devil. When the cycles of revenge take on a life of their own, it keeps getting worse. The Crusades come to mind. India and Pakistan. Pakistan and Bangladesh. Ireland. Israel. Burma. Sunni Saudi Arabia vs. Shia Iran -- with all their proxy wars. Yes, Yugoslavia. Quote Link to comment

Pete Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Islam at 4.2 % of the population but the fastest growing perspective is "No Religion" in the UK. That now stands at the latest survey at 53% of the population in the UK. Edited September 25, 2020 by Pete Quote Link to comment
