1- I didn't say I was Christian, or that I follow any certain belief system that dictates anything.

2- My objection to Islam is not based upon Christianity or any other religion; it's because Islam is a military and totalitarian ideology that aims at conquering the whole world and apply Sharia: end of the world as we've known it. It did that in the past, and it will continue to do it in the future. Your views about Islam are too simple and superficial; read its history and delve into its core. I wish it was that simple that religion doesn't affect any county as long as there are laws. We make laws. We can change them. An America with only 1% Muslims is a free country. An America with 55% Muslims is a Muslim country ruled by Sharia. % has its effect.

3- And no, Islam does not permit expression of other religion or opinions outside its own. Islam is unlike Christianity is a religion as well as a country and state. Any Muslim who believes otherwise, is not actually a Muslim anymore.

4- Abortion and homosexuality would lead to depopulation and extinction. Europe is an example. The Europeans are dying off, and immigrants (mostly Muslims) are taking over.

5- My views on homosexuality are not 'outdated' I'm afraid. I'm a psychiatrist, and in my view homosexuality is a treatable illness. Sexual attraction toward the same sex is a natural step in our sexual development. The problem with homosexuals is that — due to pathological reasons — they stop at that step and don't progress any further.

5- Modernity is not against having enough children. As long as your land can assimilate more numbers, why not support life?
