To Peter, Arguing with blindfaithers is a waste of time

Peter, As you may have noticed that most muslims believe in their religion because other muslims believe in it. They believe that Mohammed was a prophet because they think 20 % of world population believe him to be prophet. Never mind that he killed, asassinated, carried out wholesale massacres of innocent people robbed...

They believe in Quran because they think that 20 % of world population believes in it, never mind it is full of contradictions, self serving ayas, promotes hatred and violence against non muslims, allows rape of captured women, has scientific blunders, says God changes his mind and changes ayas etc.

They believe that islam is true because there are 1,3 billion muslims , never mind it was spread mostly through terrorism and violence and very high birth rates. Besides, many educated people in large muslim cities who have read hadiths and sira and read quran are deep down apostates but keep quiet and play along because apostates are to be killed according to quran and sunna.

I live in a muslim country and keep my mouth shut .Most of my friends are that way. I personally think that with the advent of internet people will slowly get to know the best kept secrets about quran and sunna and leave islam. It is already happening.
