Spread of Islam will destroy Atheism by force

The future of Atheism as Islam spreads-

-Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh refers to increased attacks since 2013 on a number of secularist and atheist writers, bloggers, and publishers in Bangladesh and foreigners, and religious minorities such as Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and Shias. These attacks have been largely blamed by extremist groups such as Ansarullah Bangla Team and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The Bangladeshi government was criticized for its responses to the attacks, which included charging and jailing some of the secularist bloggers for allegedly defaming religious groups – a strategy seen as pandering to hard line elements within Bangladesh's majority Muslim population (about 89% of the population)


Islam is a ruthless death cult that coexists with no one and has one goal. Conquest of the whole world.

Scientifically what excon has stated is perfectly true.

However, the factual accuracy of his viewpoint is partially weakened by the continuing illogical human need for a higher, all powerful entity which controls everything.

Most people either refuse to, or simply cannot take full responsibility for their own lives so it suits such people to place their fortune or misfortune in the hands of some mythical, unseen, unheard divine creature who will forgive their sins and look after them if they spend sufficient time and energy enthusiastically praising him/her through daily worship and personal sacrifice.

The frightening feature about this flaw in the human psyche' is that regardless of what science proves beyond a doubt there will always be those who will require 'a God'.

Not actually. We know God is there. We also know it all goes down around Syria in the end. We didn't just pull the name "Armageddon" from out of nowhere.

While Christianity diminishes Islam increases, so the logical conclusion to reach is that if current trends continue unabated Muslims will outnumber both Christians and atheists at some point in the future.

Islamic Sharia Law will prevail and the surviving generations of what will have become the defunct Christian religion will be second class citizens in their own country.

It is only a matter of time before what some would consider to be an outrageous scenario comes to pass.

Muslims are here, their numbers are increasing by continuing immigration and their high birth rate.

Islamic Sharia Law will prevail and the surviving generations of what by then will have become the defunct Christian religion will be second class citizens in their own country.

I agree. Under Sharia law, atheists are often tortured to death.

What a barbaric faith.

Not like Christianity;- 'Love God or have white hot pokers shoved up your ass in hell for eternity''. I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM, PRAISE BE TO THE LORD, HALLELUJAH BROTHER HALLELUJAH.

You've created a false assessment by using Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost (works of fiction) as references for hot pokers that are never mentioned in the actual Bible.

Side: True

Islam vs Atheism is like housecats vs outdoor cats. You bring the outdoor cat into the house, it will bully, kill, steal, bite,whatever it has to do, because that's all it knows. It will kill every indoor cat if it feels it must in order to survive.

What do the indoor cats do? At first they are confused. They are used to living in relative peace amongst each other in a civil habitat. Thus they run and hide from the outdoor cat or get killed or beaten.

Liberal Atheists don't understand the mentality of the outdoor cat. That's why the West is being bitten, attacked and killed by it.

Conservatives are like the owner that tries to keep the outdoor cat out of the house, while leftist Atheists keep letting the outdoor cat back into the house, confused that it keeps trying to kill them.

Hello bront:

As a people, we created religion to explain the stuff we didn't understand... But, NOW we DO understand stuff, and religion is going away..

That's ALL religion..

Not actually. Islam is spreading at an unpresidented rate and is fixing to become the largest religion in the world and it's beginning to go worldwide. Atheism will be killed off before it even makes any dent in Islamic thought or culture. (You'll be overwhelmed by numbers alone. It's happening in Europe.)

Side: True

Of those converting to Islam, 67% came from Protestant churches, 10% from catholic, 5% other religion, and 15% with no religion (and only about 25% of those unaffiliated with religion consider themselves atheist). If Islam was really set to destroy atheism, those numbers should be reversed.

Side: False

Not really. Atheism has only been allowed to grow in Christianized areas. Once Islam gains more numbers and political clout, Atheism will be killed off. Nothing coexists with Islam once it gains much control in a region. And Muslims breed like rabbits. Europeans are breeding less. Islam is breeding more. The numbers are against you. And with the Liberal love affair with Islam, even those not in their ranks yet are helping their cause and opposes and muzzles anyone who opposes Islam.

That does seem rather disturbing.

If, that is, you have monitored terrorism recruitment propaganda like I have. Islamic State is dying, and they have prepared a legacy which can cause a resurrection of Islamic terrorism. In such a case, the last thing you want is people, especially those prone to such stuff (which can actually be a pretty big number), associating with them.

It really is funny how you fear Islam so much. Do you realize they only make up 0.9% of the US? Sure atheism may not be as prevalent in Islamic countries, and it's to be expected. The indoctrination into it is much more extreme as are the penalties for apostasy. Sure their numbers are expected to grow (a whopping 6% over 40 years), but still aren't close to becoming a majority in our lifetimes.

And with the Liberal love affair with Islam

A straw man. Christianity still holds it's privilege in this country and I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

Repeatedly I've stated I hate all religions. Look at the statistics - 77% come from some form of Christian church, and not quite 4% are atheist. Who is more likely to be needing such attire?

Anything is possible, but consider this:

1) Islam has already had centuries to destroy all infidels - and it hasn't

2) The demographic data actually does not show Islam on the verge of taking everything over, despite right wing hysteria...

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2011/feb/11/islam-population

3) The same people who stand up to your Christian religious right bull will stand up to anyone's religious bull. Send a Muslim into this site to tell me I'm going to hell and I'll step right up to telling them why they're idiots.

4) The day anyone religious starts to come for me and my family where we live and work will be the day I make use of my gun permit and mobilize to protect. But in the meantime life is quite normal where I am. Even after the infamous Marathon bombing, which was two rogue nut jobs (and there's countless rogue nut jobs of all types all over the world) there has been no mass hysteria against Muslims in Boston and no further major attacks up here. It simply is nowhere close to panic time, here, or in most of the USA.

It didn't have the capacity to take over. The Roman family tree was too strong to the West. That's what caused the crusades, Muslim conquests. They took everything else and weren't stopped until China to the East and Europe to the West.

Basically you admit they can, and have, been stopped in the past. And you doubt we are as strong as either of those cultures now but that is highly disputable and it's just your subjective opinion.

3)I disagree with that. Most atheists are liberals, and liberals are in a political love affair with Islam.

1) That's simply a huge stereotype. Let's see a source from you with a study that all Liberals are pro-Muslim. 2) There's a difference between being tolerant of the existence of a religion and allowing that religion to do anything it wants to anyone else.

Plenty of people in Islamic countries don't believe in God, and still go to pray three times a day because they are intimated to. Point being, it's entirely possible to live in a strictly religious country, be forced to do religious things, and yet still have -- inside -- absolutely no belief in God.
