Issuing death threats is not a peaceful action.



Once again. There are 2.3 billion Muslims, second only to Christianity at 3.2 billion. How is that a minority in the world? Hinduism (General) — 828 Million now that is a minority.

Muslim is not a race it is a religion, a theology, a philosophy. It should be open to criticism not deemed the only true belief by its followers. Christianity listens to criticism and has, in fact, changed many of its tenets to suit modern day life. For instance, Catholics are now able to divorce and practise birth control. The goal of a philosophy is to have insight and progress into a better existence; not to stay stagnant by clinging onto outdated, even outlawed beliefs.



When looking for a truly enlightened belief one may have to lean toward Buddhism. Buddhism is also a belief system which is tolerant of all other beliefs or religions. Buddhism agrees with the moral teachings of other religions but Buddhism goes further by providing a long term purpose within our existence, through wisdom and true understanding. Real Buddhism is very tolerant and not concerned with labels like ‘Christian’, ‘Moslem’, ‘Hindu’ or ‘Buddhist’; that is why there have never been any wars fought in the name of Buddhism. That is why Buddhists do not preach and try to convert, only explain if an explanation is sought.
