==Dutch==

The part about 'the Dutch' is 'strange' in my eyes because it looks like it is generalising all of the Dutch as a country with mainly protestants. In fact there are more Catholics in the Netherlands and even the so called 'Dutch Revolt' was a revolt mainly by Protestant Dutch and not supporterd by many other (mainly Catholic) Dutch.

"Theo van Gogh was murdered for his views, re-enforcing the notion that Islam can not tollerate free speech, and is therefore incompatible with democratic values."

The spelling mistake was a nice touch. Keep up the great blogging on Islam's incompatibility with democracy.

Well, the so called historic or mainline protestantism - [[lutheranism]], [[calvinism]] is doomed in Europe.Empty churches are described in sites such as these: [[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n4_v49/ai_19208911/ Empty churches]] and [[http://hnn.us/blogs/entries/49093.html Mainline doomed]].Yes, pentecostalism is growing in Latin America and some parts of [[Africa]], but these are exceptions, not the rule.Mainline protestantism is falling in any place where it exists.Islam is the fast growing religion in the world, in the last decades.Vitality is only for Islam.[[User:Agre22|Agre22]] ([[User talk:Agre22|talk]]) 14:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)agre22

Protestant branches deriving directly from the Protestant Reformation grow at the same pace as the Roman Catholic Church, i.e. slowly.

All other Protestant branches grow at the pace comparable to Islam.

Result? Protestantism growing almost as fast as Islam. End of story.[[User:Ernio48|Ernio48]] ([[User talk:Ernio48|talk]]) 21:07, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

== "Vitality" ==

This section of the article should be removed. I am not sure why it is here-as no real figures to substantiate such a claim are provided. I suppose this is an attempt to provide some positive closure to the article-if so, that means this section is POV and thus should most certainly be deleted. The Catholic Church grew approximately 40% in past twenty or thirty years (a statistic that can be supported, incidentally)-this is a growth rate that far outstrips either Islam or Protestantism. I feel strongly that, at the very least, this section should be removed for being POV. Further, it does not contribute much to the article's more factual information.

:LoL: The population of countries in which Catholicism predominates has grown by at least 40% in the past 30 years. Ditto (if not more so) for Islam. The statistic is meaningless.[[User:1812ahill|1812ahill]] ([[User talk:1812ahill|talk]]) 21:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

== Name of this article ==

The name of this article must be Islam and Protestantism because I comes before P in the English alphabet. So can anybody give me some reason that why Protestantism is placed first or has the order of English alphabet changed? I think an encyclopaedia like Wikipedia should be free from any kind of biases no matter how subtle.

:This article is mainly about Ottomans and the Protestants. So, I recommend the title "Protestantism and Sunnism". The issues about Protestantism and Shiism can be considered in a new article; by the way, the current article does not represent any major issue between Protestantism and Shiism in current format since creation.[[User:Alborztv|Alborztv]] ([[User talk:Alborztv|talk]]) 03:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

::"The title is missing a "the" (currently it just sounds funky in English) and it would also probably be better off as "the Muslim world", which makes fewer assumptions about Ottoman piety, giving: "[[Protestantism and the Muslim world]]."

== Pictures of Obama and Trump out of place ==

The pictures of Obama and Trump in the 'Later relations' section make no sense: they are not key figures of Protestantism in today's society. I didn't even know Trump was Presbyterian. I also doubt his religion and Obama's 'Muslim ancestry' influenced their opinion of Islam, what the caption seems to suggest. Pictures of contemporary Protestant theologians or preachers next to eachother with different views on Islam would be more relevant.
