I agree with root. It's just one false statement after another.
Nuns are respected? By whom?
Who calls Muslim men with beards extremists? They've got every right to grow a beard.
When a killer has labelled himself as a religious killer, it is no surprise that his religion is mentioned.
And do you really think the child in that picture has made a sincere intellectual decision to devote himself to Islam?
Islam is not the fastest growing religion in the world. That is a myth that has been promoted among the Islamic community. Think about Falun Gong - it didn't exist 20 years ago; now it has around 70 million followers. Islam isn't growing that fast.
Finally, whoever produced that nasheed really needs to learn about recording equipment and audio engineering!
Don't be taken in, people. Fair enough, be true to your religion - you have your beliefs, and I don't doubt your sincerity in them for a second. However, don't insult your own beliefs by claiming that weak propaganda like this provides credible support for them.
Hang on a minute, I'm not disputing that Islam is not a religion of violence etc. I'm simply explaining that the belief that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world is a myth. If you've got evidence that can show that I'm wrong, then let's see it. In the meantime, please spare me the dawah (and the bizarre video of people cutting themselves).
By the way, that fourth link is a cracker:
It is estimated that there are over 1.5 British Muslims in the UK.
Well they are certainly not reffered to as 'opressed women'.

You're right they have, but this is a stereotype that exists today.
When a killer has labelled himself as a religious killer, it is no surprise that his religion is mentioned.
Did the same apply to the Yorkshire ripper?

lol, the image is used to portray the children who do devote themselves to Islam.

Being the claimant that there is another religion growing faster than Islam, the burden of proof is upon you.

lol, the audio on the presentation was distorted. you can listen to the original here:

They're often referred to as 'penguins', or other disrespectful names.

Here's what happened after Peter Sutcliffe was arrested:

(My emphasis)
This is different from someone claiming their attacks are religiously motivated even before carrying them out. Sutcliffe was clutching at straws looking for a defence; so-called 'Islamic' suicide bombers are instead carrying out murders inspired by their own perverted understanding of Islam. It's the fact that they label themselves as Islamic killers that they get so labelled in news reports after the fact.

Quite right - that's why I gave the example of Falun Gong. What else would you like me to do?
