Islam, like many religions, does not have a long tradition of existing without the benefit of being the established religion of an area.

THE JEWISH RELIGION,
THE TALMUD,
THEIR USE OF SUBTERFUGE AND LIES IS THE MOST DEADLY TO ALL HUMANS!
THEY ARE THE RULERS BEHIND THE RULERS!
THESE EVIL KHAZARS HAVE STARTED 99% OF ALL WARS SINCE 1000AD!!!
WWI WAS FOUGHT AS TO DESTROY THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND BRING IN ISRAEL! (BELFOUR DECLERATION OF 1917).
WWII was instigated by the supremem zionist (so-called Jews), and the lesser (real jews), where thrown to the fire! SO THEY COULD ALSO PROPOGATE THE STATE OF ISRAEl!
only 250,000 JEWS AT MOST WERE KILLED IN WWII, but the LIES KEEP STACKING, they keep teaching children in schools that 6 million died and its a complete and total LIE!!!
ITS ALL A SUPER WEB OF LIES TOLD BY THE TALMUDIC JEWISH ZIONIST CAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT ANYONE NOT JEWISH IS INFERIOR TO THEM AND THATS THE 100% GOLDEN TRUTH!

Curious C
All religions have mysteries that are off limits to non-believers. As the posts on this question have abundantly demonstrated, all religions have problems with extreme interpretations and members who use holy teachings to justify violent responses to problems. Both are reactions to the fear of being misunderstood-- a fear that also seems justified by the notes on this site.
Is there some reason for your obsession with Islamic holy places?

An unrelated question, just out of curiosity, to anyone who can answer it (especially muslims, since I think you MAY be able to answer it):
Why are non-muslims not permitted to enter the holy cities of Mecca and Medina?

KILI FAQIRAN, Pakistan (AP) - The boy with the knife looks barely 12. In a high-pitched voice, he denounces the bound, blindfolded man before him as an American spy. Then he hacks off the captive's head to cries of "God is great!" and hoists it in triumph by the hair.

Actually, I think Islam has more practice being in a minority situation than many religions -- for instance, Islam has flourished peacefully as a minority community in China, Thailand, even India and Spain where the Muslims were the rulers of the land for centuries but remained minorities religiously.
I would suggest that the new dynamic which Muslims have not reacted well to is the experience of being colonized.

The essay says "The notion of a pluralistic society in which religions are expected to co-exist peacefully is a comparatively new and challenging concept."
And we are going to see just how challenging it is on the comment threads to most of these essays.

"I think that there are some violent people who profess the Muslim faith, but that does not mean that Islam is itself a violent religion any more than Christianity is a violent religion simply because violence has been perpetrated in its name."
Christianity has been, and is, a religion of physical, emotional, ethnic and intellectual violence.
Deny it all you want, Bishop, but anyone who knows anything about Christianity's history is aware of this.
