There are no "facts" proving macroevolution. All you have is what creationists have... evidence explained within the parameters of a paradigm and dependent on presuppositions for starting points.
If you adopted someone else's opinions and conjecture as if it is proven fact then that is your problem.
We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.

LIKE HELL!! :nono:
Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

I know.
I too am worried about the new Muslim inquisition of sorts. Mentally prepared for either suicide bomby-type stuff, or especially iron maidens.
Expect the worst, they're comin to git us.

The problem with that view is the founding texts.
Read the NT. You will find "soldiers" willing to die for their faith but not kill for it. You'll find commandments for Christians to show kindness to their oppressors and enemies. You will find absolutes concerning morality... that you do the right thing and leave the consequences to God. You will find commandments to witness the Gospel to the whole world but nowhere the allowance that anyone should be forced to believe or persecuted if they do not.
Read the Quran. You will find that Islam divides the world into two- the world of Islam and the world of War. You will find commandments to kill or subjugate non-muslims. You will find that it is OK to suspend moral laws against stealing, lying, murder, etc when fighting jihad.
A "fundamental" Christian is someone who believes what he does enough to die for it and to never kill for it. He will try to convince you but never to force you to believe his message. Forcing or murdering a non-believer is contrary and destructive to the kingdom he is devoted to advance.
A "fundamental" Muslim is someone who believes his religion commands him to bring the world under the house of Islam. He would rather convince you to convert but will force or even kill you if necessary to advance the cause of Islam.
Our only saving grace against Christianity today is that its so fragmented (thanks to the Protestant Reformation) that one sect cannot force its will on the rest of us by the edge of the sword.
Read the NT. It defines what Christianity is, and is not. You will not find a single text that permits Christ's followers to use a sword to force their will on anyone.
The first group this "Christianity" you speak of would have to destroy... is real, Bible believing Christians. IOW's, your only saving grace against "Christianity" is Christian belief in the Christian Bible.
FWIW, no such saving grace exists to save us from secular humanism.

And groups such as the Spanish Inqusisition killed thousands in the name of Christianity. If you say that is not true Christianity, good. I believe you. I really do.
But the majority of Muslims also claim that extremists who resort to violence, not unlike numerous self-proclaimed Christian groups throughout history, are not true Muslims.
Why the double standard?
The answer to your questions lies in all the bedbugs at the UN....

It really doesn't matter what Christianity preaches the only thing that matters is how its used. Islam is used to forcibly convert or kill non-believers, Christianity has a deep history of doing the same thing up until the Protestant Reformation.

Alcohol Sales, Blue Laws, Gambling, Prostitution, Bans on Gay Marriage, Bans on Gay Adoption, ect.
More people were killed in the name of islamic jihad in 2009 than during the centuries long Spanish Inquisition.
