I'm not worried .God is still in charge .The number of Muslim becoming Christians in the past 20 years has tripled .

Change is inevitable, and its not always for the good. Witness the last US presidential election.

Somehow I feel that the short video is geared up towards religion differences.

Being Atheist, I have no problem with other peoples religion.
For me, religion is a gamble, you got chance that you may follow the right one.
But there is also chance that you got the wrong one.
Who know what is right?
How do you prove that yours is the right one?
And what right do you have to condemn what others believe?

A lot of my friends here in Australia, or back in Indonesia where I came from are Muslim.
They are as good hard working people as any other friends of any other persuasions are.
Is just because they follow the Muslim believe make them bad?

It may be is a problem for cultural values to be changed due to a replacement of race, culture and religion.
It has happen in Europe in the last 2000 years,
It has happened in America in the last 300 or so years,
It has happened in Australia in the last 200 years.

So what is frightening about this?
Methinks the frightening parts is the inability of people to tolerate their neighbour in religion, race, or type of food they eat.

You make some very good points Gelan.

I have worked with people from many different religions mate, and there is the same mix of good and not so good amongst all of them.

The biggest problem I see...with any religion/faction/ethnic group is the fanatical faction within the group. Unfortunately it is this faction that is closely connected with the religious section and wield the power.

One of the things I have seen with the Islamic/Muslim religious group is that they are totally intolerant of other religions and customs.

Most Christian countries are happy to allow Islamics to follow their religion whilst living in their adoptive country, but the Islamics are not satisfied with that...they group together and then try to change things and institute Sharia Law, not just for them, but for everyone. This is happening in different parts of Europe now.

Cheers, Vince

I recall a very nice Baptist lady telling me that everyone who wasn't Baptist was going to hell... But I don't recall many Baptist suicide bombers, etc. trying to convert or kill their neighbors. At least not recently.
