Oh, definitely.
It does not at all follow that it will be within my means, though.
More to the point, it does not follow either that the most constructive way of dealing with such an hypothetical failure of mine is not to simply teach me better.

well...I don't think that not making babies is a big sacrifice
That is your quote, correct?
Your sarcasm is duly noted, albeit offensive.

Islam in Finland
Islam is a minority religion in Finland. The first Muslims were Tatars who immigrated mainly between 1870 and 1920.[citation needed] After that there were decades with generally a small number of immigration in Finland. Since the late 20th century the number of Muslims in Finland has increased rapidly due to immigration.
Nowadays, there are dozens of Islamic communities in Finland, but only a minority of Muslims have joined them. There are about 50,000–60,000 Muslims in Finland.[citation needed] There is also an indigenous Finnish Muslim community.
The Muslim geographer Al-Idrisi accurately mentions Finland in his works, he also noted that the King of Finland has possessions in Norway .[dubious – discuss] Al-Idrisi also mentions the Port of Turku reflecting the Port of Turku's status as a capital city and major Baltic Sea trading post.
Muslim majority ethnic groups by language[edit]
Numbers are based on the Statistics Finland (language, 2012).[3]
• Somali language (14,769)
• Arabic language (12,042)
• Albanian language (7,760)
• Turkish language (6,097)
• Persian language (6,422)
• Bosnian language (1,775)
• Urdu language (1,222)
Total: 50,087

Islam spread into Finland, peacefully.

Speaking as someone that voluntarily chose not to, I can only wonder what you mean by that.
Are you talking about post #64 above? It is actually relevant to this thread, IMO.
:yes:
I agree that it's relevant to the topic, IMO. It's answering Phil25's query that Finland has a significant Muslim population.

Nope, that one was OK. I agree.
In general, he is trying to discount everyone else beliefs while using a double standard. His methodology to their religion, changes from what he uses for his own.
It is a trolling method of proselytizing his religion as the one and only true religion uncorrupted over time. That and I guess he is tired of all the negativity his religion recieves and he has gone on the offensive.
If you feel that any posts are out of line, please report them instead of discussing them in the thread itself, ok?

'it appears', i never said there IS more bad than good
offensive? it's the internet
'it appears', i never said there IS more bad than good
Eh, pretty much the same thing.
offensive? it's the internet
You're mistaking an offensive statement with me being offended. I don't get offended by anything on the internet. Your statement was offensive. There is a difference.
I'll meet your
with two: That just doesn't count...
Eh, pretty much the same thing.
I don't see how I offended anyone
I'll meet your
you didn't just do that!
Ok, we will agree to disagree.
Eh, pretty much the same thing.
Same as above.
I don't see how I offended anyone
The Muslims in Finland might find it offensive that you (sarcastically) said you fear for your life by visiting their mosque.
you didn't just do that!
I SO DID!

Seriously what is the point of this thread? Turn on the news and you'd see that it's far from peaceful.
Ok then, let's just end all discussion here, because the news is so accurate and representative of an entire religion and its followers. *enter sarcasm*

Thanks, you can lock the thread now.
Not gonna happen. You're going to have to suffer through this ridiculous diatribe with the rest of us.
So, you were saying?

Sorry but what isn't 'accurate' about the news. I find it to be a perfectly reliable form of media that doesn't exaggerate its findings.
haha :no: I will agree that you were wrong

what's new? their always offended. It's time they stopped being so emo.

Allow me to take a small break so I can fall to the floor laughing. I'll get back to you soon.
