" I am muslim and i do not care if my religion will grow or not" is the statement you wrote. I must point out that if, as you say- "GOD is LOVE" is your belief...than I would suggest you consider the following:

The God I love, who also loves me, and furthermore does" not want any to perish, no not one", also commands me to care about you and all others. He has commanded us to spread the gospel to the uttermost parts of the world. He wants me to care about you, pray for you and WANTS ME TO CARE about my religion and its growth. This means to somehow share with you this same love.
You stated. " Religions are just means to reach the believe in God" I disagree with this- It is more than just a private belief...it is a worldwide belief. One that requires me to share God's love for you and me- with you. Not to keep it inside and privately held.

You also stated "What i would like to say here is that the Islam is not a menace or terror". To this I reply, that you might be right within your own mind and life. I do not doubt that you beleive Islam is not a menace. However, many others do not share your opinion, by virtue of the many terrorist acts that are carried out daily, all in the name of Islam. Where is the love in all of the killing?
