So you're admitting that secularism has its advantages? ;P

Ever heard of the Crusades? Do some research on the net, to educate yourself. You will see that the Islam's followers are not the only ones in history that has committed mass murders in the name of God. And also, many believe that the christian's God and Allah are the same "entity", but with different names, but I am not sure.

I suggest the following book. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades)[^] One of the reasons for crusades was the Arab(Islamic) conquest of Holy Land. This is not to say that all the crusades were justified.

While it is true that followers of other religions have also committed mass murders, in the name of religion, nothing matches the murders committed by followers of Islam. This is one of the reasons why Islam is probably the most hated religion. I am not saying that all followers of Islam want violence. There are several good muslims who say the prayers five times a day, go to mosque on fridays and are useful contributing members to the society. Unfortuantely, because of the fanatical muslims the image of the entire religion is tarnished.

You are correct about the Crusades. The Muslims were killing innocents back then, as well. The difference? Christianity matured and the killing stopped. What happened with the Muslims? I'm not saying that all Muslims are bad, evil people. Heck, even Pat Robertson spouts some crazy sh*t. But, I DON'T see Pat acting on his words, and I DO see many Christians calling him on his crap. Don't see much of that in the Muslim community.

No, it was not free, although probably much cheaper than in the USA. This explains the impressive amount of uneducated people you find there compared to other countries. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

It is you who are uneducated. Judaism, Christianity and Islam comes from the same source. It's just that these religions have diverged quite a lot over the years. Particularly Islam and the Judeo-Christian side. Take a look at all the prophets mentioned in the Qur'an, and you will see that these guys are all over the OT as well as Jesus: http://islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa061399.htm[^]
God is God. What that sets these religions apart is what God represents and what he wants from the people. Hell, not all Christian groups agree on what is the truth.

No, never said I was. But I've read a lot of the Koran. And Since Muslims believe the Koran can straight from God, unlike the Christian/Jewish books, I know there are diffrences in the way God is reflected. So, No, the muslim God is not the same.

NO, you are wrong. All three believe in Abraham, that is about it. Muslims believe God dropped a book in the desert and gave it to Muhammad. So that means everything in the koran in written by God, and cannot be judged. It's final. So, knowing this. Read how women and non-believers should be treated, written by God, and tell me if that is the same forgiving God of the Christian God.

Any half literate person can tell that the God of the Bible and Allah are mutually exclusive, they simply cannot be the same. You don't need to believe in any God to see that. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Any half literate person would have read carefully what I said about that. Move 4 posts up, you will be able to re-read it. And for your information, Christianism, Judaism, and Islam were founded in the same 25 square meters (I don't have the real measurements, I am just illustrating, but you get the idea). Jerusalem, thrice a sanctified city, cradle of the 3 religions mentioned above (this is very well documented). I think it reasonable to think that Jehovah, Allah, and God are the same person (I have no proof of that, but you may find on the Internet many articles about it, whether it is true or not, both sides have arguments), carefully interpreted in different way by the 3 religions, to reflect the beliefs of the spirituous leaders of the time.

Well, that's just dumb on so many levels. 1. Have you read the Quran ? If not, how can you comment ? 2. If they are the same, why would Mohammed have bothered writing the Quran, if he had two other religions to choose from that were, according to you, the same ?
Michel Prévost wrote:

Sure. My argument is that any suggestion that the god presented in the Quran is the same as the God of Christianity or even Judaism involves a lot of faith and a lot of refusing to read any of the texts involved.
Michel Prévost wrote:

The most obvious example I can think of is that in the NT, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. In the Quran, Jesus is just a man. That's a pretty big part of the nature of the Christian God that Islam rejects, making the two entities fundamentally different. I also found heaps of stuff on how the Quran contradicts the Bible via google, but mostly with regard to the details of stories. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
