White Americans may view diversity and multiculturalism more negatively as the U.S. moves toward becoming a minority-majority nation, UCLA psychologists report.
As part of their study, the researchers divided 98 white Americans from all regions of the country — half male, half female, with an average age of 37 — randomly into two groups. One group was told that whites will no longer be the majority in the U.S. by 2050; in fact, this is likely to be true as soon as 2043, according to some projections. The second group was told that whites would retain their majority status in the U.S. through at least 2050. All participants were then asked a series of questions about their views on diversity.
“Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time,” said Yuen Huo, UCLA professor of psychology and the study’s senior author.

Different AC here. Your comparison of a heart attack to being a Muslim is very telling, but it is a false equivalency.
"Reality is that which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
and
The Quran is more coherent (toward violence).
Please provide quotes from the Quran supporting this just as you quoted from the bible. That should be argument enough.
A different different AC here, just saying that while the Pope is supposedly infallible, only the Ummah in Islam is authoritative, and this can take some time to settle, especially when certain monarchies are funding Wahabis to corrupt the very nature of the one true religion, the Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster, but mostly I just want to say, one AC to another who is not the same AC, but quite possibly gweg, that AC debates over the fundamentals of religion are about as good as virgins discussing investment options.
