	Rise of Islam
		Islam and Christianity spread into different regions of the world, by using different methods to convert people, the two religions also differed in the way they adapted to their new surroundings.
		Islam, Christianity and Judaism, despite preaching many of the same religious values and are historically associated, are three distinct religions that differ in fundamental theological beliefs, and should therefore be respected as so.
		In fact, Islam ranks both men and women equally in society, through both spiritual equality and accountability, both of which are well developed themes in the Quran; the sexist tendency of Middle East instead stems from outdated Arab tradition, and is entirely a cultural problem, and not a re...

	Islamic Empires in India
		The initial entry of Islam into South Asia came in the first century after the death of the Prophet Muhammad.
		The sultans' failure to hold securely the Deccan and South India resulted in the rise of competing southern dynasties: the Muslim Bahmani Sultanate (1347-1527) and the Hindu Vijayanagara empire (1336-1565).
		Founded in 1336, the Vijayanagara empire (named for its capital Vijayanagara (Vijayanagar), "City of Victory," in present-day Karnataka) expanded rapidly toward Madurai in the south and Goa in the west and exerted intermittent control over the east coast and the extreme southwest.

	Islam in Asia - conclusion
		In addition to a radical Islam there is the danger of the North Korean nuclear threat; the rise in tension between Malaysia and Singapore; the uncertain reaction of both China and Russia to Japan's missile defense program with the U.S.; the Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests; and the recent military coup in Pakistan.
		Asia and America should work together in revitalizing the institutions that have been somewhat tarnished during the crisis, notably the IMF, ASEAN and APEC.
		Fortunately, there is cause for optimism in the prospects of peaceable accommodation between Islam and modernism, as exemplified by the election as president in Indonesia of the pluralistic and moderate figure, Abdurrahman Wahid.

		Islam is on the rise in Southeast Asia, says Greg Fealy, currently a Visiting Professor at the School for Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
		Islam's "cultural efflorescence," as he calls it, is partly a result of a growth in state religious education.
		It is true that there are manifestations of militant Islam in the region, but, says Dr. Fealy, "much of the religious violence in Indonesia is triggered by deeper ethnic, political or socio-economic grievances." He feels the Bali bombing was perhaps linked to Al-Qaeda, but not led by it.

		To be sure, developments regarding Islam in Asia, with exception of the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union and the continuing civil war in that country, have been far less dramatic and directly threatening to the interests of the United States and its allies.

		Fundamentalism's rise in the Middle East took off early in the 20th century, if not before, but only really started to reach the Malay Peninsula in the 1970s, as cheaper travel allowed more Southeast Asian Muslims to seek higher education in the Middle East.
		Rising fundamentalism - commonly associated, but not always correctly, with Islamic terrorists - is probably a factor attracting the attention of foreign militants.
		It is almost certainly cheaper in lives and baht and would probably deliver reliable intelligence, now in short supply, rather than trying to control and subdue people through cracking heads.

		Islam divides the universe into two parts: Dar Al Islam: the domain of the faithful (to Islam); and Dar Al Harb: those with whom they are at war until Judgment Day.
		This perspective can be confirmed by examining three areas: their sacred writings, exemplified by the Qu’ran; by a review of their history of conquest and cultural imperialism; and by an inspection of the Islamic countries and their propagating a legacy of hate and repression on their various subjugated populations.
		In the south, reconstruction, development and security initiatives have yet to get off the ground more than 14 months after a peace agreement ending two decades of civil war there, while in a separate conflict in Darfur, a ceasefire is being completely ignored and killing continues.

		Security sources in the South also said that investigations are being conducted to determine weaponry used during Israel's attacks along the border.
		The goal is to turn south Lebanon into a no man's land so as to prepare the ground for the entry of either Israeli troops or a combination of Israeli and American forces, with perhaps other national contingents operating as an "international peace keeping force" with the imprimatur of the United Nations.
		While the scale of the bombing in south Lebanon is sufficient to kill many thousands of people, it will not achieve Israel's aims of destroying Hezbollah as a military and political force, and converting Lebanon into a Zionist protectorate.

	Islam
		But the main problem is, and that is a very real danger, that in most Muslim countries, more so than in the other countries, the majority is extremely backward and retarded in their knowledge and education and this allows malevolent, sometimes insane leaders to make easy prey of the masses.
		We believe that the association of Islam with the recent bombings, as in Galha's statement that Britain is "reeling from the kind of extreme violence that is spawned by his religion", will only result in divisions between the Muslim and LGBT Communities.
		However, we restate, particularly at this critical time, that it is highly divisive to single Islam out as being uniquely reactionary on this matter, when a range of other faith leaders hold to views which are also reactionary with regard to homosexuality.
