Islam outside its borders

Submitted by Lady Devin (United States), Apr 28, 2010 at 03:06

I believe that as long as Islam is outside its borders, that is, the many countries forced into practicing this religion with little to no exposure to any other religions, customs etc, it will likely remain as is. But, to the muslims leaving their countries, coming to the US or other western nations, they will start to question their faith because they are allowed to and many will leave it. Perhaps, some come hoping to force us to submit to their religion, these are the ones we label extremists. But, extremist, moderate or muslim by name, the religion is very weak outside its borders because it can be questioned, and possibly questioned to death.
