I challenged Mu'een to back up his claim and to provide us with examples of actions that Islam is engaging in today, that "history will record as beneficial to world peace and advancement", in his own words. Mu'een has been silent on the matter ever since.

So I am opening this discussion to all Muslims. Show us what Islam is doing today that will be judged by recorded by history as being beneficial to world peace and advancement.

I'm afraid I don't see a single good thing coming out of Islam.

Islam is working towards a second Holocaust of the Jews, it is engaging in wars of genocide against non-Muslims of every faith, race, and nationality (including fellow Arabic Muslims), it is exporting terror everywhere it goes (USA, France, Spain, Russia, etc), it is beheading relief workers and news reporters, it is engaging in barbarity including rape, arson, murder, and pillaging over the publication of a simple cartoon, it is fomenting wars across the globe, it is actively suppressing freedom everywhere it rules, it is engaging in the suppression of eduction, the suppression of free speech, the suppression of religion, the suppression of free press and right to assemble, the suppression of women, and the suppression of all non-Muslims, it is creating suicidal/homicidal monsters of its own children by teaching them to hate all non-Muslims and blow themselves up in an effort to kill "infidels", it is engaging in pedophilia, it is promoting "honor killings" that punish the victim, it suppresses legal rights, it is engaging in and justifying terrorism against innocent people worldwide, it is trying to destroy the world economy and destroy those countries that provide the most freedoms to the most people...

Am I missing anything?

Let's hear from some Muslims here. Be specific. I'm not interested in a 4,000 word rant about how evil President Bush is, or a 4,000 word Biblical criticism/analysis. I'd just like to hear exactly what Muslims believe history will say about Islam in the future, and precisely what actions Islam is taking that are "beneficial to world peace and advancement".

Are any of you up to this challenge?
