The top 4 populations for Islam is actually centered on India and South East Asian. 207,000,000 people in Indonesia, 167,000,000 are in Pakistan (actually more Indian than Middle Eastern like we would like to think), 156,000,000 are actually in India and 132,000,000 are in Bangladesh. In total, 695,000,000 Muslims are in South, and South East Asia, were are 512,000,000 Muslims in the Middle East, North Africa and East Africa (I widen the area even though most of it isn't actually the Middle East)

In Catholicism, the founder was Jewish(though his made out to be European in pictures), but the majority of the people that follow Catholicism are from Latin America, as 434,000,000 of the 1billion Catholics are from Latin America and Mexico.


So due to different events in the globe (colonization, slavery) religion has spread to diversify some, but to say people follow "holy people" that look that them is wrong.

Its all a tool to gain control of people who can be taken control of. Fear tactics at its best. And its easier to get people to follow someone who looks like them. Wierd, but true.

I agree that what were originally peaceful religions like Christianity and Islam, people have perverted to now be what people fight wars over. The self righteous nature of these religions, have allowed people to take advantage and push their agenda in the name of God. I have read the Bible, and if you just pay attention to the Gospels, the actually part were Jesus talks, you'd never have a war in the name of Christianity, but because the religion tells you, you are good all others are evil, then people have taken that and now use it to push their wars, their evil.

Its very true that people are the cause of these wars (religious wars or not), and you can claim that these religions are peaceful, other then the perversion from man. But what would happen if organized religion was completely wiped away from mans history, if man was never introduced to any form of organized religion?  Its not that just a few corrupt religious people ruin a religion. Its that corrupt people exist, and organized religion is the tool that allows them to control others. 

Big B:
are you implying that religion is racist?

Hmm.....good question.

Not necessarily. I'd just say egotistical. This is why the Jews are the "apple of God's eye" so to speak and the reason why the Bible categorizes the entire world population as either Jew or Gentile. If placing 99% of the earth's population in one category, yet giving your own rae its own designation is not egotistical then I don't know what is lol.
