  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I’m in total agreement here because if we can ban one religion we can ban any of them and I feel personally more threatened by Christianity than I do Islam and since your religion is already declining well enough on its own, it wouldn’t take too much effort to make American Christianity a thing of the past. Surprising to see a Christian advocate for this but we atheists will take all the allies we can get.
Yeah tell that to the natives. Lol

I don't see this as funny. I'm dead serious, I will leave this place.

** It is projected that by 2100, Islam will become the largest religion in the United States**
According to whom?

AI Overview

No, it is not projected that Islam will become the largest religion in the United States by 2100; projections indicate it will become the second-largest religious group by 2040. By 2070, a majority of Americans are projected to be unaffiliated with any religion, while Christianity would remain the largest religion at that time.

...Nonetheless, if New York turns into an Islamic hub, and African American conversion to Islam (the most common converts) increase there, while Islamic immigration also continues, it could really change the face of New York going forward. It would be a stark difference to the national numbers.

We could potentially see a predominantly Islamic East coast (NY), with a predominantly Christian West Coast (LA).

** It is projected that by 2100, Islam will become the largest religion in the United States**

According to what I'm seeing at the Pew website (People in the New York City metro area | Religious Landscape Study (RLS) | Pew Research Center), the fastest-growing religious group I see in New York City is "religiously unaffiliated". I'm envisioning a predominantly non-religious NY/NJ/New England by the end of this century.

Even if Islam becomes the largest religion, that might mean that they become, say, 20% of the population, with 60% being atheist or agnostic.

If we've been sufficiently kind to our atheist neighbors, maybe they will also be kind to us religious folks when they're in the majority.

I am now officially an advocate for Constitutional reform. Because that's what it takes to banish one single religion (Islam) from this great land. I want it to be illegal.

Mmm, it starts with banning one religion. Then maybe we go on to the next one we don't like, and the next...

Fortunately, we have our own reasons for retaining the secular government our Founders set forth.

No. No. No. No.

Being critical of Islam is not “Islamophobia.”
An irrational fear that Muslims are going to take over the country is not criticism of Islam. This is textbook Islamophobia.

Rightly so.
Your stated desire to change the constitution to ban islam after learning that muslims will outnumber christians in 75 years reminds me of a child trying to change the rules once they start losing a game.

An invasive religion that takes over, and swallows up a land is not great! And also, Canada faces the same fate by 2100.
Your religion isn't "native" to this land either. The natives could have said the same thing about it. (Or frankly anyone living west of the Aegean when Christianity invaded the Roman Empire.
Christians, and those of good will, are going to have to push to dismember or donate our military to Mexico, and go there if the constitution cannot be changed. Within the next 75 years. Or become Muslim.
The easiest way to not become Muslim is to just not do it. No one is forcing you to leave your church.

'islamophobia' is a dumb term for bigotry against Muslims and it is propaganda.*

When people are bigoted against Muslims, we should just call it what it is -- bigotry.

Like all religions, Islam has issues and can be criticized, though this is not the place.


* it was ginned up by some arab lobby org. I think CAIR. They were trying to ride the coattails of "homophobia" which was a term that did reflect many reactions to LGB people at the time as closeting was very common and a lot of people did just have irrational fear of homosexuality. Though now-a-days most of that is also just bigotry.

It’s out of control. Get this… the “Calif” in California… yeah. Caliphate. They’re not so slick.
Map makers have made the necessary changes.
