Islam is so similiar to Christianity that there isn't even a point to it

HUH? If you were anywhere NEAR similarity to Christianity you wouldn't deny Jesus' death on the Cross, that He was the Son of God, or deny His Divinity. No.. Islam is NOTHING like Christianity.

[PghBaldy]

I don't know if anyone mentioned their "prophet" - who married Aisha when she was 6 years old. Consummated it at 9 years old. How he took joy in the deaths of those who mocked him. He was a sick and vile man. I see no evidence that he had anything but cruelty in his heart.

I have read the Koran and learned quite a bit about the life of Mohammad. I don't see how it can be credibly interpreted in any other way than a permanent call to war against all non-Muslims everywhere.

Hahahahaha...I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

[VOA]

I've read...
"Jihad in The West" by Paul Fregosia
and
"Hatred's Kingdom" by Dore Gold

I'm afraid the actions of Islamic over the centuries trumps any
exegesis of certain passages in The Koran.

But then, maybe that's just me.

[VOA]

I will add to my post 144.
I've worked with nice people that are Muslims.
It's just that after all I've read since 9-11...there are just too many
Muslims that take The Koran and other traditional books seriously.
And see them as manifests for holy war.
And have generally scared their peaceable co-congregants into silence/inaction.

Unfortunately for Islam, America is an open society with the freedom to critically and analytically study Islam and its history. I have. Many, many others here have as well. That being so, the American academic community and many other too numerous to list here, from Nonie Darwish to Ibn Warraq, have produced enough contemporary researech and historical study to refute pretty much anything Islam attempts to raise as truth.

The light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not. In an open society, the truth inevitably prevails. The super-majority at Free Republic, after engaging in objective and impartial study of Islam, have come to the same conclusion.

Me, I rejected our PC society's misplaced tolerance of Islam long ago. I am horrified at the belief system. These people need Jesus. If you invite your Muslim friend here, invite him to listen to our church's August event online. It will be in Arabic as well.

Jesus loves me.

mohamet (syphilitic pedophile may rivers of p*** be upon him) wants me dead.

Islam has no 'Golden Rule'. That's the problem right there.

[ladyinred]

Islam and Christianity have nothing to do with each other. We do not worship the MOON GOD ALLAH! The notion that we serve the same God is ludicrous!

[ClearBlueSky]

WE HAVE A WINNER!
Funniest question on FR this year, IMO.

I'll keep it real simple.
The Koran is sacred to Islam, and ALL Muslims.
The Koran says that Isalm must dominate the world.
The Koran says that 'unbelievers' must submit to Islam or die!
That means us ' God fearing Christians', as well as the rest of humanity.
We're not supposed to have a PROBLEM with that?

Islam- ALL of Islam- gets its orders on what to believe and do from the DISEASE that is the Koran. ANYONE and EVERYONE who believes the Koran is sacred and must be obeyed by the world is my enemy.
And I want my enemies as dead as they want me.
Any questions?

[PeteB570]

There are three kinds of Muslims.

1. Terrorists.

2. Those who actively support the terrorists.

3. Those who think Islam is the only true religion and support the first two by their silence.

And you are which one of the three?

[bad company]

Verse 4:171 - "People of the Book, do not transgress the bounds of your religion. Speak nothing but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was no more than Allah's apostle and His Word which He cast to Mary: a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His apostles and do not say: "Three.' Forbear, and it shall be better for you. Allah is but one God. Allah forbid that He should have a son!"

How do you Square this with your Catholic beliefs?

[aruanan]

Islam is so similiar to Christianity that there isn't even a point to it, every quote showing "Judeao-Christian hatred" can be logically explained by anyone who has read the Quran.

You're either deluded or deceitful. The reason that Islam shares elements of Christianity and Judaism is because it is the most successful of the Judeo/Christian heresies. Its creator Muhammed deliberately set out to try to gain converts among the Christian and Jewish societies that formed the high-tech civilization of the Arabian peninsula from at least the first century AD to the advent of Islam. For the most part these folks strongly rejected him and as a result, they were targeted for destruction after he restricted his aim to the largely Bedouin people of the Arabian peninsula. Since both the Persian and Roman empires were seriously weakened by an outbreak of plague and the Bedouins were needed by neither side as mercenaries, Muhammed used his religion as a means to unify these former mercenaries into a killing and plundering machine. They started first with the Jewish kingdoms of Arabia and moved out from there to destroy the rest of the Middle East and farther reaches of Asia. The reason that so much of the Middle East lay in ecological ruin for centuries was directly because of the Muslim conquests and what it did to property ownership.

ARAB ISLAM SLAVERY

[donmeaker]

Islam is a combination of Hindu religious practice (original name of Allah was Hindu "Allat") with softened Jewish religious practice: but all pressed into service to justify the Arab conquest that had already begun before Muhummed.

In like manner Early Christianity is a combination of Jewish holiness and apocalyptic literature and Greek philosophy. Alas, it was corrupted when it became the Established Religion of the Roman Empire.

Judism is a combination of primitive holiness law, and fertility cult practices, turned inward upon itself when conquered, so they no longer got official sanction.

I can help you with other religions if you like. Best to do this by private message to avoid stoning.

[PsyOp]

Dear Xing:

having rade the Koran (and the hadiths) and the Bible, I can assure you that the two religions are nothing alike. Fromyour post I can conclude the following:

1. You have never read the bible in its entirety.
2. You are not entirely familiar with your own religions works and history.
3. You have been duped by your religous leader[s].
4. or,yYou are liar attempting to spread disinfomation.
