BILLIONS CANT BE WRONG?

I hear this "Billions can't be wrong" mantra from Muslims and sane people all the time . During the cold war, the same could be said of the communists. After all, the Soviet union,China,and believers in the Marxist dogma counted "Billions" in their number around the world.

This phrase is an attempt to rationalize the fact that so many human beings live under a repressive and brutal system that combines the worst of Nazis and communists. Afert all, the death penalty is a rather strong inducement to identify with the dominant group. Mohmmedism is forced on populations. Without the threat of force this twisted historical ... called Mohammedism would wither and die. I have never heard of a pacificst Muslim. The notion of dedicated non violence is not in the rule book.
