I think that in the future islam will start to wither, losing steam; to terror, modernism, new info, feminism, higher criticism of its source document (the quran), etc... I do not think it can survive as a major religion into the future, it will go the way of shamanism, a marginalized faith, leaving only a few diehards as true adherents, the rest will be either atheists (true Westerners), cultural muslims (what amounts to agnostics) or christians it has too many internal contradictions, for a start, see comments below: examples to follow
Oil will eventually dry up and much of islam will convert back to the religion of ignorant, backwater goatherders... moreso than it already is. Dear lord there is going to be one hell of a population dieoff when everyone in Saudi Arabia realizes that they have to get jobs and feed themselves. Islam everywhere else will become more moderate and less important for the daily lives of its participants once they are cut off from the dying remnants of the Middle East and the region's fanatical ways.
The future of Islam, is to motivate our armies to kill the enemies of Mankind. I.e.. Jihad agaisnt all aliens. literally... when we meet them. -MT
I also wonder what will happen when death will only be by accident or decision? Religion losses a lot of its flavor when to get the goods you have to die. So when you don't have to die, well who cares about the religion? And you know, my question is still relevant. If no one knows when how where exactly the Qur’an came into being, well, that says something doesn’t it? Not to mention that the older Qur’ans don’t have the diacritical marks – another change that even Muslims acknowledge because if they didn’t have them, most couldn’t read the Qur’an anyway. I wonder – when were those added?
The Koran was written By Mohammed, who heard voices.. much like Abraham. and im sure its been edited... Just as Constantine edited threw the many gnostic texts.. to deside which books go into the bible... does that change the value of either? maybe.. but not by much.. You forget that religion has been the source of all morality for 10,000 years... lets not forget pagan Rome.. where incest and gay sex ran wild... until Christianity. -MT
i believe that islam will undergo a radical change, much as layman christianity did during the lutheran revolution. islam is here to stay for a LOOOOONG time, i think. will it keep its current form? history says no.
The 'change' is the only thing in the entire infinity that never ever changes. As far as the history of Islam is considered I think you should read its history once again Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
islam will not go out with a whimper it will go out with a bang. It is far more resilient than many seem to hope. Far from moderating, islam is going down a more radical and confrontational path then it has been on for centuries. All Praise The Ancient Of Days
I agree oil is the problem here, the money from oil is building all these mosques around the world, and with it comes the mad clerics from iran or syria, if you want the money the mad cleric has to come with it, alot of catholic churces have been finace by public money in our countries, & the call is to finance muslim mosques too, why should we would the saudis finance catholic churces i think not. Oil has to go, before it kills us all off either through oil financed terroists, or through greenhouse gasses. There are so many other ways to run cars, but we ignore them because the oil barrons finance our politicial parties.
