One slight amplification.

Technically, Islam is not a religion. It might be considered a counterfeit substitute for religion.

Religion is a mechanism for worshiping God. God provides for religion. In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle and system of Sacrifices were used as part of the religion He provided to man. In the New Testament, we are now provided with a New Covenant, by which we may worship Him. Worship of God today is only through faith in Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Islam fails to recognize Jesus Christ for salvation, so it fails to meet the criteria of something provided by God for us to worship Him. It is a counterfeit substitute for those lacking a regenerate human spirit, who still thirst for fellowship with God, but are not accepting what He has provided.

Islam fails to meet the criteria for religion as established by our founding fathers, but has only been recently accepted by those who mistakenly accept false religions as comparative theology. Such lack of discernment is soulish and void of human spirit.

Islam fails to recognize Jesus Christ for salvation...

So does Judaism. Do also say Judaism is not a religion?
