Islam is a counter-hegemonic force, period. Anyone who has seriously studied the intent of that ideology would conclude you are arguing against the wind.

Also Christianity was not primarily spread by the sword. For example, a bunch of Christian slaves in Denmark, captured during Viking slave raids, eventually started to convert their Masters. After that, Christianity blended into the Danes culture. That is 180 degrees out of phase concerning the desire of Islam's main man, Muhammad and their beliefs/orders (Hadis).

You are high on hopium.

Those who worship the God of Abraham [Jews, Christians and Muslims] ...

Do a little research on who (actually, what) it is that muslims worship.

Stopped right there - that statement is 100% wrong and factually inaccurate.

The muzzies worship satan (aka allah). Their "Book of Satanic Verses" declared war on God and His Judaeo-Christian followers

Any attempt to link the satanic, savage muzzies to God is pure propaganda from an incompetent and intellectually stupid author.

Good grief.

So the fundamental problem with Islam is that it is not Christianity? It would seem that the Muslims are thinking something similar and are demonstrating far more resolve in correcting this problem as they see it. If we’re going to be having a Holy War based upon which form of dogmatism is the stronger, I’m betting on the Mohammedans.

But let me offer this:

When we, as finite beings...
- Presume to know Divine Will and go further to act — and even kill — in the name of God,
- Decide that our religion is the only valid one and the non-believer is by definition damned,
- That the entire purpose of our finite lives is to determine what “place” our immortal souls will reside for all eternity...

Life becomes cheap.

Other people become means to an end.

The mere existence of those who do not share our beliefs is a threat, so we are not only permitted, but obliged to conquer, plunder and slaughter.

Non-believers, being by definition damned, are not entitled to life; they are less-than human in their refusal to accept our God and practice our religion. We can therefore take from them, enslave them, rape them, murder them, because what we do to them here on this Earth is nothing compared to what awaits them on the Other Side.

Such is the nature of theological exclusivism, hence it is the problem, not which religion upon which it is based is the Correct one. The finite cannot claim to know the mind of the Infinite, much less presume to act — and even kill — in the name of God.

Dogmatism is blasphemy.
