Tried to post a discussion on Islam and the mods removed it because it was not relevant to India. Bizarre.
Here's the youtube link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxdoztoBEuc
The video is about the west, but it is easy to draw parallels to India. The relevance of the video to India becomes more clear with my comment the accompanying post. The post was intended to start a discussion on Islam in India and whether people should be concerned (copy/pasted) -
I generally stay away from political/religious discussions on the interent (and in real life) because they are a quagmire. A friend recently sent me this youtube link and this excerpt. I try not too think too much about these things, and admittedly don't know the nuances of this discussion (so please aware me) - but on the face of it, things seem quite disturbing.
Going forward, the important question is how can we decouple the radical fringe and the masses of normal/peaceful Muslims? Is this possible or is there an inherent problem/incompatibility with Islam - and there is latent radicalism in ALL muslims because they are taught from birth that non-believers and apostates should be killed? They bide their time when they are in the minority but become more vocal as their influence increases and when they are large enough in numbers they start doing these thins - look at the Hindu population in Pakistan. Is their any freedom of religion in muslim majority countries?
This is a concern I have just from a cursory glance of the material/browsing. What is your position on this and why?
This is a sensitive issue, so please try to be respectful to ALL participants in the discussion - not just the ones that agree with your position.
This is the excerpt I read:
[STARTS]
In his book Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam, Peter Hammond wrote a detailed analysis on the proportion of Muslims to the overall population and increased violence and adherence to Sharia law. Hammond’s research reads like a roadmap to ruin; a horrifying picture of the future of civilization. To summarize an oft-quoted section:
When the Muslim population remains at or under 2%, their presence tends to fly low under the radar.
In the 2% – 5% range, Muslims begin to seek converts, targeting those they see as disaffected, such as criminals.
When the population reaches 5% they exert influence disproportionate to their numbers, becoming more aggressive and pushing for Sharia law.
When the population hits the 10% mark Muslims become increasingly lawless and violent.
Once the population reaches 20%, there is an increase in rioting, murder, jihad militias, and destruction of non-Muslim places of worship.
At 40%, there are “widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.”
Once beyond 50%, infidels and apostates are persecuted, genocide occurs, and Sharia law is implemented.
After 80%, intimidation is a daily part of life along with violent jihad and some state-run genocide as the nation purges all infidels.
Once the nation has rid itself of all non-Muslims, the presumption is that ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ has been attained – the Islamic House of Peace.
