I never specifically cited Buddhist terrorist groups, because I don't know any off the top of my head, but it is a FACT that there are Christian and Hindu terrorist groups - yes - that carry out, in a militaristic fashion what they perceive to be the commandments of their respective religious books. To say that 'there are' simply means that they EXIST, if you choose to deny this fact because you don't want to believe it, that's a whole other discussion. They DO exist, and this is a fact, once you come to realize this you will understand why your logic will support yllus' stance more than any other (that is, no religion should be accepted) I will continue to "dare" stating this fact regarding terrorist/militia groups of other religious backing simply because it's far less daring and offensive to state this FACT than spew irrelevant propaganda like "Nobody should convert to Islam"
"Islam, by definition (and design), cannot coexist with another. It is as simple as that"
I'm sorry, but this statement totally sounds like it came out a Daniel Pipes briefing on why Islam is the evil of the world, LOL. There are PLENTY of historical examples of Muslim tolerance and acceptance, including Spain, where Muslims tolerated and respected the members of other religions under their rule. There are Muslims in China, they are coexisting peacefully with the people there. There are Muslims in Canada, they are coexisting peacefully with the people there. The list goes on and on. There is a Muslim club in my college, they have peaceful discussions and interactions with all the other clubs on campus. If the religion, as you suggest, is so vehemently opposed to interaction and existence with those who do not follow the faith, then how is is that these Muslims around the world live peacefully without any aggression towards others? Perhaps they're just fake Muslims?
