I do agree that some Christians and all Vegans are pushy, however, typically neither will cut your head off if you do not "convert" to their particular diet.

Yeah, not so much in this century.

But guess what? 99% of Muslims don't either.

If so I'd love an answer to this simple yes or no question. "Can a Muslim peacefully co-exist w/ someone of a different faith - yes or no?"

Me as a Christian I can answer that as a resounding "Yes". However, I have asked it countless times to other Muslims and I never get a straight yes or no answer. It's always some sort of rabble.

I'm certain I am about to get all sorts of interesting responses here, so let the debate begin.

Merry Christmas all! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think it's possible, BUT.... keep what happened during the Bosnian War in mind. The Serbs (Orthodox Christians) and Bosniaks (Muslims) were friends and neighbors to each other, from the smallest villages to the bigger cities -- but that changed literally overnight when the Serbs turned on the Bosniaks. It ended with the worst genocide since the Holocaust in WWII. Concentration camps, rape camps, mass executions, mass graves... all of it. It was really awful to read the accounts of Bosniak survivors, who were so completely shocked as they were forced to witness their Serbian "friends & neighbors" systematically rape and murder their loved ones.

Hmm, maybe it's not all that possible after all...

Did you ever have those assemblies in junior/high school where these teens would dress all in black, with drug/sex type slogans on their backs, and this girl in the middle would act out this scene of getting pushed around and tormented by them.. all while "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was blasting? Those were usually Bahá'í youth groups doing those.

^^^LOL

Bosnian muslims have been the beneficiaries of a lot of foreign investment from places like Saudi Arabia and Iran over the last 10 years or so to build some decadent looking mosques... they're doing okay. There'll always be an undercurrent of hated there though.

The Serbs main problems at the moment is that there are an ever growing amount of Albanians crossing the border and living in Serbia.

I should have mentioned above that I've only just scratched the surface -- i.e. total noob about this subject. Back when it happened I never heard much about it (didn't care about politics or watching the news, other countries and their conflicts, etc) so now I'm trying to learn more about it on my own. I haven't quite gotten to the years since the conflict ended but it's good that they're doing reasonably well now.

I can't speak for the people who believe in the Muslim faith. However, the Quran does in several places preach death to the infidels. You can google it yourself to find exact verses and phrasing (Infidels are people who are not Muslim).

The bible preaches death to rebellious teenagers (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) ... but I doubt you'll find a Christian pastor who's rounding up the town to stone Billy to death for partying too hard.

Point being: you can't (as illogically as this sounds) judge a faith based solely on its religious text(s).

[Priceline]

never read the Bible myself but doesn't the old testament have like 1000 things you're supposed to stone people for? from cutting your hair to eating fish on a Saturday, etc..
