StAtS

So here is something a little interesting... On my debate I am talking about the difference between the two religions we know as Christianity and Islam.... Here is a site that will bring to just about any stat you would like.
http://www.nationmaster.com/red/pie-T/rel_isl_num_of_mus-religion-islam-number-of-muslim. This address will immediatly bring you to the number of muslims within our World and which areas they dwell in. With in these stats you can visualize a pie chart of all the different regions, Islam is practiced. It will give you percentage of how many practice Islam, and where. You can click on a country and a blurb will pop - up about the country. It will show you a map of places. You can actually visualize where the locations are. It includes another chart as well, more near a bar graph, WITH RANKS! It's great!
This is my analyzation of what I learned.... The majority of Muslims live with in Indonesia, Pakistan and India. In the United States, 6 million muslims live and our living the great American dream. U.S is number 34 on the list which gives just about all the countries in our World. The least amount of muslims live with in Mongolia and Italy. Yet, there is still people of the religion all over the Earth.
It's wonderful to visualize and read that people around the World, even though we may not get along, but that we can atleast somewhat live in a peace. In the middle east especially at this moment, even though they essentially have the same faiths, they are in one BIG civil war.To me this is great news to hear things like this.... I always wonder why we have civil wars or just really wars in general. We are all so similar. 99.9% the same... Inside at least. I guess i am just confused to how we can treat eachother like that. We all do. America itself had a civil war nearly a few hundred years back. It's as if we never learn. This site boasted my hope for this World. Right now even though Islam is in a huge out break with eachother, it's great to hear there are Muslims around the World.
I beleive no one should boost your religion or faith. This just causes problems. I still am strongly against some of what this religion holds faith in. For violence and murder and War is not the answer. Neither is promoting something so unmoral. Yet, our World will never rid itself of religion because we (humanity) will not let it.This leaves me to, at least be grateful for something even though it may be unmoral, at least it is involved around the World.
