in some cases 100% of colonialism was about conversion.

Who is to judge which is best? Are people in the West truly any happier than people in the Middle East? Does the West harm the environement more than they do? Do they rush through life without smelling the roses, like in the West?
There are consequenses to each different way of life. Everything is relative to one's perspective.
As it is said that Jesus once said, "Look not at the sliver in your neighbour's eye when you have a plank stiking out of your own eye".

its the other way around. history repeats itself and thus the time of the white man is over as the middle easterns take over. many will die in the name of faith, but nevertheless us white people will be living on reserves beside our indian friends. but, i will have hope. the islamic faith will break when they develope an opened mind and begin rejecting their church who at the moment have them wrapped around their fingers

There are mosques, but what makes Islam so good, and so adaptable and different from Christianity is that you can practice it in your own home, you can practice it in a group or with your family. You don't need to go to a Mosque, you don't need a cleric, all you have to do is follow Islam the way you want to follow it, as long as you maintain the five pillars of Islam.
iamcanadian said:Overall every muslim I've met, men and women, seem like much happier people compared to the miserable lives most people generally have living in the western world, at least with the North American versions;
Europeans seem happier than here too. The more Sodom and Gamorah way of life we practice here does not make most people happier, generally speaking.
Church?
There is no church for Islam. There are clerics and Mosques that are holy sites, but what makes it way better than Judaism and Christianity is that any Muslim can practice whereever they they want to be they don't need to go to a holy place to pray, unlike Christians and Jewish people
