Understand this - Olympic champions are passionate about their sport and their goals, but passion alone does not equate to radicalism. Radicalism involves an extreme, uncompromising approach that often leads to conflict or harm, whereas passion in sports is channeled positively to achieve excellence and inspire others.
Olympic Champions Are Not Radicals: Olympic champions embody the pursuit of excellence, fairness, and unity. They work within established rules and systems, striving to achieve personal and athletic goals while promoting peace and respect. Radicalism, by contrast, involves extreme, often destructive behavior aimed at disrupting or overthrowing established norms. Therefore, it is incorrect and misleading to label Olympic champions as radicals. They represent the best of human potential, not the divisive and harmful tendencies associated with radicalism.
and the biggest risk facing Europe is too many muslims in europe.
but this is some thing they do to themselves because of the legacy from Imperialisms and the many wars due to the wars on terror creating refugees from Islamic countries. This is 100 years in the making and is call karma.
world trend is not heading towards islamic radicalisation . Not in malaysia , not in europe , not in USA. It is a false risk.
world trend is definitely headings towards the positive and led by China, especially in the global south. world trend is heading towards modernity, prosperity, world of abundance especially in BRICS countries.
look at the liberal democracies, where got harmony?" ========================================
It is the beauty of democracy to allow liberals to protest which is absent in communist, dictatorial or authoritarian political system. The universe itself is based on chaos.

u can live in chaos. I prefer to live with harmony.
While religion as a personal value can contribute to individual and societal harmony, its use as a tool for propagation and domination would inevitably leads to division and conflict. Hence the key to maintaining harmony lies in respecting religion as a deeply personal aspect of human life, rather than a force, value or practice to be imposed on others.
When religion metastasizes beyond personal belief and becomes entangled with political and social power, it would definitely being exploited by leaders to control populations and suppress dissent (sapiens always fail to learn this key lesson from history!). This fusion of religion with authority would result in the suppression of freedoms, such as freedom of thought, expression, and religion itself. It also paves the way for the imposition of religious laws on the entire populace, regardless of their personal beliefs, leading to resentment and resistance.
Yup, there are way too many dark sides of proselytisation.
1. Coercion and Manipulation: Proselytisation involves coercion, where individuals are pressured or manipulated into converting. This is be done through emotional manipulation, social pressure, or even threats. In many occasions, vulnerable individuals, such as those in poverty or distress, have been targeted, exploited and offered aid or support only if they agree to convert.
2. Local Tradition, Historocal Roots and Cultural Erosion and Elimination: When proselytisation is aggressive, it leads to the erosion of local cultures and traditions. Indigenous beliefs, creeds and customs are overshadowed or replaced by the beliefs of distant origin being promoted, leading to a loss of cultural diversity and identity. This has happened historically in many SEA regions where missionaries have actively sought to convert entire communities, often with the backing of ruling powers.
3. Social Division and Conflict: Proselytisation creates or exacerbates social divisions. When one group actively seeks to convert another, it leads to resentment, tension, and even violence between different religious or cultural communities. This has been seen in various parts of the world, where proselytisation efforts have sparked religious conflicts and civil unrest. And this is what many school teachers fail the children in the history class by not pointing out this key learning point.
On rationality, sensibility, sanity and common sense
4. Violation of Religious Freedom: Aggressive proselytisation naturally violates the principle of religious freedom. Individuals should have the right to choose their own beliefs without undue influence or pressure. When proselytisation crosses the line into coercion or manipulation, it undermines this fundamental right.
