Islam and the World

The world has changed forever since September 11th, 2001. Many now live in constant fear of terrorist attacks. The threat of 'radical' Islam has been brought to the forefront of people's minds. With so many other religions out there, why has Islam bred both terrorism and a hatred for the West?

Consider these statistics:

Islam is the 2nd largest religion in US.
More than 7 million Muslims live in France alone.
Today, over 2 million Muslims live in Britain (and London has been dubbed 'Londonistan').
It is predicted that by 2040, more than 55 million people in Europe will be Muslim.

Many 'moderate' Muslims live peacefully among people of different religions than their own. Others however, live with hostility towards non-muslims, whom they call 'infidels.'

So what do we really know about Islam? Does it really seek world domination? How would it affect us if Islam actually ruled the world? Are our fears justified, or are they based on misunderstanding and propaganda against a 'peaceful' religion?

We are showing an award-winning documentary called Obsession the Movie. Come watch it together and stay for a chat afterwards. Here are the details fof the event.
