Unnoticed, however, in the controversy over Day’s remarks was the fact that what he said was essentially accurate.

Oh yeah, that. Well, Muslims are commanded to conquer the "World of War" (the non-Muslim world), whether peacefully or by use of force.

Christians are called to convert the world as well, but never by use of force.

This obvious difference between the two religions seems to be too difficult for celebrators-of-diversity to grasp, largely because they have an a priori commitment to religious relativism.

I look at it like this: In Islam, god commands you to die while killing others for him. In Christianity, God sent His only begotten son to die for you.
