Reply #2: Islam is a religion of the poor

[AlecBGreen]

just like Christianity was in its "early years." And contrary to waht you may hear coming from the fundies, it is not a violent religion...ANY faith can be used to justify killing, but that shouldnt mar the vast majority of peaceful practitioners. I think we are going to see, worldwide, an explosion (no pun intended) in the muslim population. People are getting poorer and more oppressed every day in 3rd world countries, and Islam is an attractive refuge.
