Would The World Be Better & Safer Without Islam?

3hf said it for me. Do you think Himmler, Goring, Bormann, Goebbels, Hess to name only a few would let that control go?

I believe that religion, in all of its forms, from the earliest shamanism, right up through Scientology, has been the worst thing that ever happened to mankind. It spreads ignorance, and is divisive by its very nature. Assassination isn't the key, education is.

Their control was only as good and lasting as Hitler allowed, Don't forget that Hess flew to The UK to seek a peace agreement and was imprisoned until the end of the war.

That was the 11th century & The Crusades, but Christians have not been a cause of world wide chaos since, unlike Islam.

You're letting the Christians off too lightly Lon.

I am a Christian and I am painfully aware of the way that the followers of Christ have over the centuries twisted his teachings for worldly reasons, leading to bloodshed and death on a large scale. That said, I do not believe that the world would be a better place if Jesus had never lived.

The world is better for ANY person who preaches love and understanding. Too bad so many find ways to turn it to hate.

Religion is the problem. The people follow the dictate of the religious leaders, The Pope for Catholics, Mullahs & Ayatollah's for Muslims & varied and sundry leaders and clergy of other faiths that can incite the masses.

Exactly, and they know how to use it. Kind of like "Guns don't kill people. People do". At least the gun doesn't tell you who to hate.
