First of all, to put it mildly, islam does its best to conquer the world, mostly through terrorism. Hopefully, it will fail. And whatever kind of bigotry won't help it. Its chief instrument is terrorism and intimidation. As for its being true as a religion, how do you know it's true? ... Millions of illiterate peasants in the world of islam can be easily duped by various gangs of moslem wrong-doers most of whom are terrorists. . .. What place does Islam allot to women?.. That islam conquers the hearts and souls of many people in the West I have my reasons to doubt. Islam has nothing in common with the traditional cultures of Western and many Oriental countries but is rather hostile to them. The example of Afghanistan is eloquent enough. As well as the actions of "peaceful" moslems all over the world, for that matter.
