Don't start doing that something with a muslimah or you too would be won over without even knowing it.

We are living in Hong Kong where Islam is a very very very minor religion. I initially thought that the influence of Islam is very very far away ... but I was wrong. My girl friend is a clerk and one of her business contact is (gasp) an muslim ... Pretty scary isn't it?

Anyway, I have to do something :angry: .

(Sorry English is not my first language).

So, I guess if your gf converts to Islam, the only way you can marry her is by converting to Islam , yourself....but then again if you start saying negative things about Islam it might just fuel her curiosity even more.....I guess it can be interpreted as a win-win situation for Islam ...

No, the only things in which she have enough curiosity are eating and watching movies ...... As long as I show love :love: and passion when I say negative things about Islam, she will 100% trust me.

I was just kidding ... Of course for her there are interesting things beside eating and watching movies. It is just that religious debate and discussion are neither her interest nor strength. If I discuss with her openly and honestly, there should be no problems.

If you are talking about Sunnism and Shiaism....there should be no problems....I have studied both doctrines...they are both theologicalically compatible with only differences in politics.....
So, once the terrorist shock troops destabilize the West and the Muslim hordes complete the conquest by overwhelming it with sheer numbers, the world will enter a Golden Age ... if Afghanistan under the Taliban could be called Paradise.

Come on. Islam may at one time have been an improvement over the way of life practiced by dusty desert nomads, and for a while--in the flush of its success in empire-building, mainly by the sword--it was a relatively progressive, tolerant faith. But that was a long, long time ago. Islam has been a backward, stagnant, fundamentalist faith for centuries, and a modern world under its influence would be a shambles in short order.

You have perfectly expressed what I've wanted to say for a long time.

What makes you assume that Taliban style "Islam" will take over the world as opposed to " Intellectual Islam" which took over the World during the so called Golden age?
