> Can Islam Coexist Peacefully?

Absolutely, Islam has been coexisting peacefully in many countries, including the US for a long time. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement (or maybe it should be) to tolerate other beliefs or lack there of in a country that spouts Freedom of Religion.

> Essentially, in very few cases can a single person or group be said to represent a populace.

No single person can truely represent an entire populace. A group of people on the other hand could.

> However, there are situations that may suggest that these immigrants refuse to adhere to their new
> countrie's laws.

Simple, then they are subject to persecution according to the laws that community enforces.

> These are essentially areas where large Muslim populations have began enforcing Shariah law, and due

> native minorities in those areas.

Again, that would be up to the individual community. If law enforcement can't handle the crime, that's up to the community to hire more law enforcement. Nothing special here.

> "Does Islam promote a supremist mindset of Islam in its followers, that gives rise to the illegal
> enforcement of Shariah Law?"

I think this is going to depend on how an individual interpets Islam. I never thought the phylosophy of Isam or any religious text promotes a supreme mindset if you understand and actually read the text in the context in which it was written. These are just stories or ideas, written by man, in most cases handed down several generations before anyone even wrote them down, what 2000 years ago? Anyone in this day and age that not only follows, but lives their entire lives based on any of this crap always makes me laugh and pretty much deserves whatever happens to them.

> "What is the politically correct course of actions to be taken with these situations?"

Just like any other situation. There shouldn't be any preferential treatment to any individual based on anyone's religion, nor should they be able to use their religion as justification for the crimes they commit. If I have to deal with the laws my community imposes on me, so should they, period.

In fairness to some Muslims, they are true to their moral values and are just affected but what others thought about the extremists.

According to the Quran the only way for Islam being peaceful is when the whole world becomes Islam. We will always have Muslims and non-Muslims so they will never be peace.

Well it's very hard to say but yes they have some bad people who makes them worst and they are giving wrong definition of Quran which is big problem from my point of view and it lead them to unusual activity.

The Quran have baffled the mind of Islam believers and they believe that their religion is so very important for the world peace. Same things in Christianity.

Alright, I guess I'll be one of the first to throw the interpretation card. I believe that a modern reformation of the Muslim world is real possibility, though it may not come as soon as some of us might wish. I used to adopt the idea that Islam is a barbarous, disgusting and vile religion that will never fully be able to coalesce with Western society, but after listening to Maajid Nawaz and others like him, I've come to the understanding that Islam is still a barbarous, disgusting, and vile religion; but as are all other religions. The Bible states many different teachings very similar and just as vicious as the Koran (Genesis 22:2, Ephesians 5:22), but the days of Christian torture, outcast, persecution, etc. are mainly gone (though some of these thoughts still exist in a very neo-type form). I believe that Muslims will one day be able to live together (or at least tolerate) with Western civilization; not Islamists or Jihadists. There's quite a distinct difference between a regular, generally conservative but perhaps liberal Muslim and an Islamist, or a Jihadist. Many Muslims despise terrorist groups like Al Qaeda or Islam, and would rather be able to integrate with modern society, yet there are some who don't, and I doubt they will ever have a seat at the discussion table in modern Western civilization. If you're interested in the subject, I highly recommend the collaboration book written by Sam Harris (atheist, obviously) and Maajid Nawaz (a liberal, Muslim reformer), "Islam and the Future of Tolerance."

Just like Christianity, no. All Religions on Earth believe they are the "way", and they will always take opportunities to get rid of other religions so that they become unchallenged in the manipulation of the masses. Religions cannot peacefully coexist, believe it or not, there will always be Imams or Priests who will advocate against each other. I'd rather have Islam destroyed than to have it "coexist peacefully".

I am really annoyed by atheists who repeat the "no-go zones" nonsense. Atheists are supposed to be the rational ones. Muslims are already living peacefully in western nations. I see them all of the time shopping in the same grocery stores that I do, going to the same community events that I do, etc. In Canada, we have Muslims in elected office. The Mayor of Calgary is Muslim. The key for people of different backgrounds to live together is to focus on what we have in common, not what makes us different.

I believe that all religions follow a trend.

They are born, rise to power, then stagnate until some reformation movement makes them more extreme or fundamentalist in nature at which time they thrash around like a fish out of water until finally they settle down accepting their redundant nature.

Islam being a relatively younger religion seems to be at the thrashing phase. The problem is that its phase corresponds to a time when weapons of mass destruction seem to be at hand and thats scary.

However to answer your question yes think Islam can coexist peacefully and will eventually settle down.

Whether it remains relevant after settling down will depend on its ability to persist in a state of irrelevance. What I mean is that just as christianity has become irrelevant in norse countries, it manages to persist because some of its doctrines and traditions are liked enough to retain even if only as just a nostalgic value or reason to celebrate of a bygone era.

This seems at present hard for Islam.

Necromancy at work!

Islam cannot co-exist peacefully with islam. Not a day goes by without some muslim killing or bombing members of other sects of islam... like sunni and shiite.

Under normal circumstances, i would argue that one should read the Qur'an - that is the sole foundation of Islam - to understand if it can coexist peacefully, however, it has been made abundantly clear that Muslims are overriding the obligations in our countries e.g. introducing Sharia communities and forcing the law to change regarding full-face concealment. This illustrates that Islam cannot coexist, never mind peacefully.

Islam is a religion which has and does promote mass genocide of the kuffar. It's really important to note that Islam is expansionist and completely intolerant to the infidels. Islam is therefore most certainly not a 'religion of peace'.

The solution to this problem is that countries conduct a mass deportation scheme to completely rid our civilised societies of this monstrous and intolerant religion which encourages our deaths. We are not eradicating their freedom of religion, we are protecting our own societies whilst distancing violent ideologies from our children. Muslims can practice Islam in Islamic countries, not countries dominated by us kuffar.
