Christian/Muslim ThreadsMr Kenneth L. JenkinsFirst, you quoted your source wrong; So the statistics can already be classified to have an agenda. Let me post my numbers; The information listed below is based upon 2 sources, the percentage of Muslims in each country from the recently published Operation World, edited by Johnstone and Mandryk, 6th edition, 2001(statistical database June 2000), and these percentages were taken and applied to the most recent figures from the Population Data Sheet 2001, published by The Population Reference Bureau of Washington, DC. Numbers are rounded of to the nearest thousands. Muslims in Asia 694.666.000 Muslims in Africa 334.517.000 Muslims in China 25.466.000 Muslims in France 5.920.000 Muslims in Germany 3.041.000 Muslims in Japan 153.000 Total number of Muslims in the world 1.285.696.000 Another Source; (http://www.worldchristiandatabase.org) The World Christian Database (WCD) represents the core data from the World Christian Encyclopedia (WCE) and World Christian Trends (WCT). The WCD includes detailed information on 34,000 Christian denominations and on religions in every country of the world. Extensive data are available on 238 countries and 13,000 ethnolinguistic peoples, as well as data on 7,000 cities and 3,000 provinces. Statistics in the WCD represent a significant update of the data published in WCE/WCT in 2001. WCD is an initiative of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Muslims in Asia 829,519,178 Muslims in Africa 318,043,637 Muslims in China 19,133,599 Muslims in France 4,186,891 Muslims in Germany 3,645,171 Muslims in Japan 182,785 Total number of Muslims in the world 1,185,920,270 As you see, my numbers are quite similar and different than yours. More likely to be correct since I quoted 2 sources. Now what? What did I prove, nothing? What did you prove? Nothing! It is like saying I have a Mercedes Benz it beats your BMW, these are childish arguments... People don't make "Christian" children, people are born again as Christians. It is even told by Jesus Christ to Nicodemus. That is the difference. Eastern, South Eastern parts of Turkey don't care about it, they still marry more than one wife, one legally, others by imam. Law doesn't recognize the wedding performed by imam but the religion does. So it stands, they still marry. Do I know any of these families, no I didn't, I knew one person who were planning to, to get a greencard to be specific, he had a girlfriend in the US and a wife in Turkey, he legally sent a divorce paper to Turkey to get this girl here, when I asked "Don't you feel ashamed, how can you do this to your wife and kids?" He said, "Oh I will stay married to her, I am married to her before Allah." Furthermore what is it going to change if I knew or not, do you imply that I am lying? There were enough TV ads to prevent this thing. Who implied only Arabs marry 4 wives? I don't see here in this discussion where I asked about the numbers, I asked you what is the importance of numbers to you? I implied that you kept saying the same thing over on several other threads, but didn't provide the numbers there, I was not asking numbers to see, I was implying that you should assert things correctly in the discussion forum. I am not interested in these numbers buddy. If you just need a link; there are plently people on here, exmuslim.com, faithfreedom.org. You can talk to them... Yes now you are talking. Now these "solid" numbers are debatable. I don't think they are solid. If you noticed, I didn't quote the Christian numbers in those areas you quoted. I don't want to bring you down. 235 million people in the US only, identifies themselves as Christians, do you think all of these people are indeed Christians and following the example of CHRIST??? If you do, you are seriously mistaken. Same thing can easily be said for the 334.517.000 in Africa or whatever their number is... You islamic logic is just like this; 1. I am a muslim because my ancestors were muslims too. Therefore my religion is true. 2. Look at the world today, there are more than 1 billion muslims, therefore my religion is true. 3. Allah in Quran and YHWH in the Bible are the same. 4. Jesus in Quran and Jesus in the Bible are the same. 5. By nature Islam is a socio-political community religion. Since Christianity is a religion just Islam per Quran, naturally Christianity has to be another socio-political community religion. Therefore all the nations in the West are Christian. 6. Allah may do anything and everything. But Allah can NOT become human. (This is in fact believing Allah can do everything but also telling that he can NOT do everything) Chill out dude, don't freak out, noone cares what state you are in, I didn't provide your dorm number, did I? But fair enough, I will take out the state name... |
