DH, you are the typical example of a Muslim. Perfect really. You fit "Muslim" down to a T.
As for Muslims, I have many friends who are Muslims. I've dated Muslims. I have dinner and drinks with Muslims. If they aren't too religious then they are no different than Jews or Christians, for the most part. Just believing the fairytale bullshit their parents brainwashed into their baby brains.
What I don't like is the racist bigot philosophy called Islam. What I don't like it people teaching their children that me, an atheist, will burn in hell for eternity. Especially considering that atheists can not help but be atheist. It is impossible for us to change our belief system to monotheism, just as it is impossible for you to sprout purple colored eyes. What I don't like is some racists bigoted Muslims refusing to touch me because I'm not a Muslim. You want to pull that in Crapistan, go for it, but act like that here and you should be publicly condemned in the exact same way that white supremacists are publicly condemned.
I don't like Islam nor it's polygamist obese slave-owning prophet who ordered a singing girl to have her head chopped off. The murdering bastard ordered that people's religious relics be smashed.
See this is really simple. REAL SIMPLE. Once you realize that there is no God, what does this say about MoMo? He was a fat plagiarist liar.
See, it's east to grasp.
MoMo the illiterate arsehole with nothing novel, nothing enlightening about humanity to offer, nothing but a bigoted liar who murdered innocent Meccan's for worshiping their Gods. MoMo the arsehole who refused to enter the city until his henchmen destroyed everything there. All so he could be worshiped by cow-eyes imbecilities like yourself as The Last Prophet. Oh and add to his harem (magical Allah said me gets more poon-tang dan you... darr... .daaaarrrrrr....) and add to his slave collection.
We can see this why Muslim blow up 2500 year old Buddhist statues. Which, for many, where like Mecca. The most important religious icons in the world. Oh, but I forgot, this isn't because of Monkey See Monkey Do (me want to be like me Prophet when he smashed stuff) its all "The Wests fault" ...
Simply put, you are a great example of a Muslim.
RE: OP Buddhism is a failure?
Well, I have told Buddhists that I not only don't believe in any of their mythological beliefs I actively think they are bullshit - - and you know what - they think that's perfectly fine. It will not matter as I will be judged for my actions only. Monothiests on the other hand, they say their pathetically insecure pin-dick God will send me to Hell, and they teach their kids that bullshit and they imply that there is something "evil" about me. Satan has me .. Ooooo Booogidy Booggy. And that creates problems.
See the difference?
Probably not, because you are the perfect example of a brainwashed monotheist.
You think that Arabic is God's language, Only Your Magical Book is real, Only your Prophet was the Last, Only your superstitious bullshit is correct and Only if the Whole Wide world was Islamic it's be perfect. Yeah, polythistsic Shinto Japanese, you don't respect their religions, their Gods, no you think they'd be better is they were Muslims. That's called being a BIGOT DH.
We both know all of this is true. You are the perfect example of an intolerant bigoted Muslim.
In my mind the tolerance inherent in Buddhist teaching compared with the intolerance inherent in monotheism with it's broke-dick God, more than shows that in this multicultureal world where we not longer rally behind cults of personalities, it is the superior philosophy.

You should show the above post to your 'muslim friends'.
Remember that christians also think those who do not adhere will burn in hell and when you refer to 'their' god remember they are referring to the same god in all occidental religions (judaism, islam and christianity).
As for hell in Buddhism its called Naraka:
The Narakas of Buddhism are closely related to 地獄 Dì Yù, the hell of Chinese mythology. A Naraka differs from the hells of western religions in two respects. First, beings are not sent to Naraka as the result of a divine judgment and punishment; second, the length of a being's stay in a Naraka is not eternal, though it is usually very long.
Instead, a being is born into a Naraka as a direct result of his or her previous karma (actions of body, speech and mind), and resides there for a finite length of time until his karma has achieved its full result. After his karma is used up, he will be reborn in one of the higher worlds as the result of an earlier karma that had not yet ripened.
The mentality of a being in the hells corresponds to states of extreme fear and helpless anguish in humans.
Physically, Naraka is thought of as a series of cavernous layers which extend below Jambudvīpa (the ordinary human world) into the earth. There are several schemes for enumerating these Narakas and describing their torments. One of the more common is that of the Eight Cold Narakas and Eight Hot Narakas, which are described below. (wiki)
There are cold Naraka's:
Arbuda – the "blister" Naraka. This is a dark, frozen plain surrounded by icy mountains and continually swept by blizzards. Inhabitants of this world arise fully grown and abide life-long naked and alone, while the cold raises blisters upon their bodies. The length of life in this Naraka is said to be the time it would take to empty a barrel of sesame seed if one only took out a single seed every hundred years.
Mahāpadma – the "great lotus" Naraka. Here the whole body cracks into pieces and the internal organs are exposed to the cold and they also crack.
And Hot narakas:
Tapana – the "heating" Naraka. Here Yama's servants impale the beings on a fiery spear until flames issue from their noses and mouths. Life in this Naraka is 5,308,416*1010 years long.
Pratāpana – the "great heating" Naraka. The tortures here are similar to the Tapana Naraka, but the beings are pierced more bloodily with a trident. Life in this Naraka is 42,467,328*1010 years long.
Those last two sound familiar don't they.
