Amein,

You state:
> Why a nun can be covered from head to toe and she's respected for devoting herself to God, but when a Muslimah does that, she's considered "oppressed"?

Because a Nun by definition is a Nun. Christianity itself does not dictate that all women MUST cover themselves from head to the toe. On the other hand Islam Dictates (or at best implies in a strong demanding manner) that all women MUST cover themselves from head to the toe. When dictation comes to play, Oppression will manifest itself.

You state:
> Why a Jew can grow a beard and he's just practising his faith, and when a Muslim does that, he's an extremist?

You have a point here. And I would go further and say that if a Moslem is considered an extrimist because of his beard, then a Jew should also be called an extrimist for which one can argue that Jews have the same terrorist mentality as Moslems.

You state:
> When a western woman stays at home to look after the house and kids she's sacrificing herself and doing good for the household, but when a Muslim woman does so, she "needs to be liberated"?

Because if a Western woman stays at home to look after the house and the kids, it is by will and not by some religious ideology. While in Islam it is strongly recommended (to say it mildly) for a woman to stay at home and to take care of the kids and the house. Men are viewed as the head of the household (by default), and the thought of Women being as the head of the household is unimaginable (based on the teachings of the Koran).

You state:
> Why is it that when a child dedicates himself to a subject, he has potential, and when a child dedicates himself to Islam, he is hopeless?

Because if he is to follow the teachings of Koran on wife beating, having the idea of women having half the brain as the men, killing those who do not believe in God, etc.etc. etc., then he no longer can be considered as a human being but a wild animal.

you state:
> When a Christian kills someone, religion is not mentioned, (i.e., Ireland and the IRA) but when a Muslim is charged with a crime, it's Islam that goes to trial?

Because conflicts such as Ireland are mainly political rather than religious (or at least they pretend to be that way). There is somewhat of a distinct line between state and church. In Islam there is no such distinction. It is a complete totaleterian system with no fine line between the religion and State.

You state:
> But then again, why is it after all that, Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world ?

Because human spirit is innocent, and therefore can easily be manipulated. It is much easier for people to be told to the last drop exactly what to do, than to leave it up to them and their own intellectual capabilities to choose between right and the wrong. Islam tells them - dictates - how one should live his life from having sex, to how to wash their hands when praying, to different techniques for punishing someone, to the right way of killing someone (or animal), to...,... you name it. It is all there.

And it ironic and (of course understandable because of its complete comprehensive totaleterian dictatorship teachings as expressed) that Islam is growing fast among the poor, and/or less educated class of society for which they are more willing to accept the idea of being told - as in dictated - as what to do under the name of a supreme being. The essence of human spirit, my friend, is pure and innocent and can easily be manipulated.
