Rofl, try again. You made the mistake of thinking that "no purpose" means "life is meaningless and have no value and we could just kill ourselves". It doesn´t, it means "no purpose". People don´t need a higher purpose to live and enjoy life, or to place value in it.

Whoo! Look who knows so much! I was raised in a Christian home, not allowed to watch television (except the Walton's and Little House on the Prairie), was not allowed to listen to "secular" music on the radio, attended Christian schools, went to church every time the doors were open, and even had family Bible-study every night. I was as far removed from your claim as possible.
Now, having said that, I agree with every atheist on this thread because they are right. I know how hard it is to look at your own religion, use your own brain, and evaluate whether the things in that religion are rational or even decent but it can be done, if you have the courage to open your eyes.
And what does imperialism have to do with it? Islam ruled many nations and expanded their territories for hundreds of years and even now you all would love to see the world become Islamic. How is that not imperialistic ("the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion; the extension or imposition of power, authority, or influence")?
"Godless education"? Demonstrate for me how "godly education" in any Islamic nation has eradicated all crimes, elevated all people, and benefited mankind.
Generally speaking, nations that adopt Islam are the most bass-ackwards, 3rd century thinking, tribal barbarians on the planet. Ever been to Saudi Arabia? All those beautiful roads built by the Germans. All that excellent medical care provided by westerners. The mall where there are stores with sign "No Women Allowed" in which are sold such evil and corrupt devices as Paula Abdul cassette tapes and even some good western music.
Just what the heck have you people contributed to the world? Oil? We created the machines that created the demand that made you prosperous. We built the friggin' oil wells. And we gave you military strength, nuclear energy, sanitation, electricity, computers, the internet, ad infinitum. We did that. We godless imperialists.
Just how has your glorious "godly" education benefited mankind at all? Hmm?
If is had not been for people who had undergone "godless education" most of you would still be illiterate, riding camels and horses, and killing each other over water well rights.

So you believe there was an actual French professor who converted to Islam after learning that the quran asserts that Ramses' body was put in the sea? What is the French professor's name? Where can I read a first person account of this happening?
I repeat: that site is lying. When you repeat these stories irresponsibly, you are passing on lies. Unless you can substantiate this irresponsible balderdash, you become a liar as well.

The site is called "Against Science." It's against science. You are fighting science. How do you feel about that?
The whole point of the site is that science doesn't work, rather people should stop using it and rely on what the quran says instead.
It's this kind of thinking that leads Muslims into the dark ages and leaves them there. You should be ashamed of what you're doing to your fellow Muslims.

Your logic is incorrect.
Do you have some data that shows that atheists have a higher suicide rate than Muslims?
In any case, at least when atheists commit suicide they don't take hundreds of innocent people with them.

Of course not. Statistics are scientific in nature. You can't possibly expect him to use "against science" websites to support his positions and then go using science to support his claims. That would make him a hypocrite.

Most Muslims don't either.

But the ones that do will be rewarded for doing god's work.

Which means that atheists don't really have an incentive...

No they won't, Islam doesn't teach that, only Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations do.

It's rather presumptuous to tell people what religion they follow or don't.

Actually not terrorist organizations but the Wahabi sect of Sunniism mainly. They're mostly found in Saudi and some remote areas of Pakistan. There are whole schools in rural Pakistan devoted to preaching wahabiism to young boys. In fairness, most Sunnis don't consider Wahabis Sunis, but then again Baptists don't consider Catholics Christians. They still seem pretty Christian to me.

As presumptuous as stating that murderers will be rewarded because you've been told that's what Islam teaches?

What's presumptuous about repeating other's stated beliefs?

There's a difference between dying a martyr and taking non-combatants with you.

Don't you think a competent god would be able to create a religion that was not open to speculation and interpretation thus leading to sects and violence?

Maybe our universe ended up with a god with down syndrome or something.

Men create religions, not gods.
