Never be a Muslim
% Contribution of Muslims to world population = 23%
% Contribution of (world) terrorism by Muslims = 95%
In other words, 77% of non-Muslims contribute to 5% of world terrorism (this includes terrorism due to politics).
So on an average, Islamic preaching makes a person 65 times more prone to be violent than an average non Muslim.
The Islamic scholars may say that they never understood "true" ISLAM, but since people end up to be more violent because of (being )ISLAM than without ISLAM, - it is just a lie to hide the truth. Moreover,
a percentage of the Zakat money is used to fund terrorism around the world.
So, despite this high rate of violence, how does Islam appears peaceful; kind of candy coating- They fund the press to write for them, make interviews that emphasis Islam is peaceful, fund the politics to make law for them - making the world much more ambient for them to grow.
ISLAM is a ticking time bomb.
When the rate of growth of population of other religions is stabilizing or even decreasing - the population is of Muslims is exponentially increasing. They use all possible strategy to increase Muslim population in a population where Muslims are minority.
ISLAM is the most intolerant religion in the world.
Once, the Muslim population gains a upper hand - they will legalize slavery, child marriage etc, and will start to eliminate people in other religions before starting to fight among themselves. They are destined to throw humanity to dark ages to the living conditions that prevailed during the times of Prophet Mohammed (approximately 1400 AD or back).
It took Christianity 1800 years to refine itself. But since Islamic preachings and rituals are implemented much more systematically and frequently - it is much more effective at suppressing free thought. So how many years will it take to refine ISLAM? - or will it ever?
God speak to us through our sense of morality, the sense of being/doing right. Morale has an inherent nature to improve itself. That is the reason why societies improve morally over time - Most of the societies have abolished slavery, torture, child labor etc - which was something once prevalent in almost all societies . For the muslims, their laws are written 1400 years back - and it is destined to keep it as such, never to improve, never to refine.
and this is the reason why their laws still permit stoning to death, torturing etc.
Never be a mulsim. Just believe that the god speak to you through your morale. not through those holy books. one is closer to god without religion than with religion. and this is what true god desires.
