And again back to this statement I don't know how anyone can make that claim and be serious about it. It certainly doesn't apply to modern day Islam. You have 2 sections of the Islamic faith in the Middle East, literally shooting each other's brains out everyday because they think the other group is wrong. Muslim jihadist terrorists crashed two planes into the twin towers and murdered over 2 thousand Americans in the name of Islam and jihad.
The extremists are the ones giving Islam a bad name. Maybe the "peaceful" Muslims need to take a stand against these people destroying their religion.
It is the farthest thing from a religion of peace at its current state in the world I'm sorry.
If everything was solved by reason and thinking and not by religious beliefs and principles, think of how peaceful the world could be and how much progress we could make as a human race.

Yes it does apply do modern day Muslims. Unfortunately, there are extremists that are killing in the name of religion. The "peaceful" Muslims can't really do a whole lot to take a stand either. Take a look at the United States. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Muslims in the U.S. have had a pretty difficult time. How do you expect someone that is discriminated against by a whole nation to take a stand for what they believe in, when what they believe in is part of the reason they are being discriminated against? It is a religion of peace, ask any Muslim in the U.S. and they will tell you that. Like I said before, it's what you hear about it that gives it a bad name.
If everything was solved by reason and thinking only, the world could be a much more dangerous place. Not everyone may have good morals like you, and might result to stealing and violence to get what they want or need. It sounds crazy, but some people need religion to help keep them on the right track.
Back on the topic of your thread, nobody is going to be able to prove that god is real, just like you can not prove that gravity is real.
