What Gives Life To Islam?

Freedom is the enemy of Islam.
In the history of the world, Islam has only spread by means of conquest, or isolation, or oppression. The nations of the world where Islam dominates, the people are not free. The nations of the earth that are free, Islam does not grow except through immigration. People in America convert to all types of religions, including, at times, Islam. However, Islam has view converts in America. No, In America, people become Christians if they convert to anything, most of the time. The same is true in all free countries. (the connection between freedom and the presence of Christian thought is also worth considering, but at another time).

But, in countries where there is no religious freedom, Islam (and Hinduism, for that matter) can grow. Ironically, in countries where there is no religious freedom, like China, North Korea, etc, Christianity often grows there too.

Islam is not a religion that can be separated from the government. The religion demands control of the government. Fortunately, there are millions of Muslims who don't take their religion that seriously. Islamic peoples' cannot afford to allow freedom of religion (or freedom of speech, for that matter), or they would cease to be.
