mosques spring up as fast as churches get pulled down

I don't think you can blame us muslims for the declining numbers of people attending churches.
If you think Islam is such a "bad" or "evil" religion then why is it the worlrd fastest growing religion, with about 1.6 billion muslims around the world. also why do you think most people are converting to Islam than any other religion.
as a muslim i am against any terrorist attack to and from muslims. the meaning of jihad isn't holy war as the media says, it means 'struggle' the are two types of jihad: inner and outer.
inner jihad is the struggle against things such alcohol, sex outside of marriage, eating non halal food etc.
outer jihad is when the religion is under attack. however this doesnt mean you can go and fly planes in building. there are strict rules to follow. eg NO innocent people should, damage to infustructure must be to its minimum, damage to animals, trees or anythingto do with nature must also minimum.
these are just a few points not all.
personally the idea of having some sort of 'holy' bank holidays is not practical because the islamic calendar is a lunar one its to do with the shape of the moon. thats why Eid is never on the same day the following year. its about 10days earlier every year.
i dont have anything against christian or what ever religion you are, Islam teachs not to discriminate people because of their religion. i feel the same way about a jew, christian, hindu etc as i would about a muslim.
people who talk about killing the 'infidels' should not be seen as representing Islam or the rest of the 1.6 bl other muslims.
