It's true that Christianity has seen some dark days. Things were done out of wrong motives and greed that ignored the scriptures and gave Christianity a black eye.
It's wrong to think that Christianity started out that way and evolved. It did not. It started out pure and degraded and then once people started holding each other accountable which scripture calls for, some purity was restored.
Islam did not start out pure. Islam was started by a man who wanted to be a prophet and was not called to be a prophet. Jews and Christians were immediately able to recognize the man as a false prophet because he failed the tests of a prophet that Moses had laid down. And the Jews and Christians laughed at him. Thus Mohammed hated Jews and Christians and started his own religion. It denied the divinty of Jesus and it denied one of the basic callings of Judaism, to love your neighbor as yourself.
Islam is an evil religion. Not because some of it's followers become suicide murderers, for many do not. It is evil because it teaches men to try to reach heaven on their own merits, instead of accepting the salvation that God offers through Jesus. It condemns it's followers to Hell.
Christians however, are told to "overcome evil with good"..."to pray for those who would do evil to us"..."to love our enemies". We are not called to turn the other cheek in the face of evil that would destroy us. We have the right and duty to defend ourselves and our people.
But this calling to overcome evil with good, is why we do not practice genocide. It's why we surgically try to remove only the immediate militant threat. Even though such tepid response puts ourselves in harms way.
As I was reading your text I was suddenly amazed at how the basic Good vs. Evil synopsis also applies to another type of prophet wannabe... a man who today is every bit as evil as Mohammed was.
But today's wannabe is forced to work with entirely different tools of evil and destruction, e.g., the evil Democrat tools that John Kerry employs in his obsessive attempt to attain the title of President of the USA !!!
