Islam is currently more dangerous to world peace and free thought than any other religion

The resolution is in need of defining: Islam-the religious faith of Muslims, based on the words and religious system founded by the prophet Muhammad and taught by the Koran, the basic principle of which is absolute submission to a unique and personal god, Allah http://dictionary.reference.com... dangerous- full of danger or risk http://dictionary.reference.com... Because "world peace" is unattainable, with my opponent's permission, I suggest a change of this to "global tranquility", which means worldwide peacefulness. http://dictionary.reference.com... My opponent brings to the table 3 complaints that he believes make Islam dangerous to global tranquility and free thought: 1. Suppression of women's rights 2. Intolerance in the face of criticism 3. Violence in the face of criticism The first point should be eliminated, because suppression of women's rights is not dangerous to world peace and free thought. The second point of intolerance follows the same guidelines, as intolerance to religious criticism is not a threat to global tranquility and is not a threat to free thought. The third point is the result of a common misconception. The violent reactions of radical Islam to Islam and the West (http://www.ashbrook.org...) are not proof that the whole of Islam is dangerous to global tranquility and free thought. What the resolution really calls for though is for me, the contender, to do is to propose a religion that is a greater threat to global tranquility and free thought. Because a religion is "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith" (http://www.merriam-webster.com...), Stalinism counts as a religion. Stalinism is "an inherently oppressive system of extensive government spying, extrajudicial punishment, and political "purging", or elimination of political opponents either by direct killing or through exile, and it involves a state using extensive use of propaganda to establish a personality cult around an absolute dictator to maintain control over the nation's people and to maintain political control for the Communist Party." (http://en.wikipedia.org...) So, Stalinism is a religion because it: -holds up a system of beliefs with ardor -holds up a system of beliefs with faith Ardor, or a restless warmth of feeling, is sometimes felt towards communism. It is forced to be felt under Stalinism. http://www.merriam-webster.com... Faith, or allegiance to a duty or person, is enforced under Stalinism. http://www.merriam-webster.com... So, Stalinism is a religion. Stalinism is a current religion and a current threat because it still has followers. 47% of Russians interviewed in a recent study would have a positive outlook on a "new Stalin" coming to power in Russia. http://www.propagandamatrix.com... Stalinism is a threat to world peace in that it: -would receive immediate political opposition -could lead to a new Cold War With a new Soviet state, communist spread would create a new Cold War. Stalinism is a threat to free thought in that all dissent is vanquished. This is a greater threat than simple "intolerance" and minority denomination violence. Clearly, Stalinism is currently a more dangerous religion to world peace and free thought than Islam
