I fell out of my chair.
The Earth started rotating in the opposite direction.
Night was Day and Day was Night.
I read it again and shouted:
"Well, if that ain't the Cats' pajamas!"
(I expect the next post to say, "Hey guys, I adopted a kitten.")

The reason so many people have died in the name of Christianity is because this is what happens when man tries to play God and force everyone to be christians. Who Jesus is and what he came to do and his purpose is all true. He did exist. He fulfulled prophecy. He was crucified and he was resurrected. All this is fact. The problem is that fallen man has tried to conquer the earth in the name of God - They failed and caused many more to not accept the truths of christianity. Now Islam is sort of doing the same thing and will have the same outcome. And the only other thing I will say is that everyone will know the truth eventually - and that goes for myself as well because I don't have all the answers either.

regardless... more have died in the name of Christianity... period. Every religion has zealots that misinterpret the truth for their own gain... most recently televangelists have proven this.

my point is, why do people keep bashing Islam?
Every Muslim I know is peace loving and respectful of other religions. This guy being quoted is obviously a zealot. The Koran does not tell people to go and kill in the name of Allah. It's quite the opposite. A true Muslim adheres to Mohammed's teachings of peace and tolerance.

Do you know any peace loving muslims outside of the US, say in Syria or other muslim countries? Or are they that tell you they are peace loving those who you work with or see around town. Amazing the difference a distance of half the world makes.

Sorry my inner child has bonked my rational self to death. That puts me on the list.
Considering there are 2 Billion Muslims all over the world, I don't think they're ALL filled with hate and committing suicide bombings. Yes, there are radicals in Every religion. Look what happened in Waco.
Don't let those few Whacko Muslims make you think the entire Religion is crazy. It's not any crazier than any other religion IMO.
Honestly, a Christian saying ALL Muslims outside the US are filled with hate sounds Whacko to me.
Yes, there ARE peace loving Muslims. How about in the United Kingdom, Swedan (320,000), Germany, Australia, India.....
There are a Lot of so called "Christians" spouting about a Holy war too... Trying to characterize an entire Religion with 2 Billion people as hateful terrorists is a prime example.

They do have differing beliefs, but for the most part each story in the bible can be found in the koran. As one of my Muslim friends put it, "They are the same religon just differnt names

I thought you were above painting people with the same brush and stereotyping.
Do you also believe that:
* All black people steal and rob?
* all gay people are evil perverts and child molestors?
* All Jews are cheap and stingy?
Sorry buddy, but IMHO, that comment is really absurd.

I've got an idea... everyone go read the Bible and the Koran (however it's being spelled today), then come back, and fight with you interpretations.
Until then I'll continue to use Meguiars on occasions...
