Still, 25 percent of Republican voters believe Islam’s encouragement of violence is level with Christianity’s doctrines, including the Beatitudes passage, reported by Matthew: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

The Koran, in contrast, is deemed by Islam’s adherents to be a direct transcript of Allah’s many commands, including these belligerent commandments

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.

Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens."

Former President Barack Obama and other leaders in the Democratic Party have repeatedly suggested that Islam is not more violent than other religions. Obama told Muslims in February 2016 that Islam means “peace,” although it actually means “submission.”

Similarly, a Feb. 3 letter signed by three senior Democratic legislators in the House argued that “there are other three million Americans who practice Islam peacefully. The specter that there would be a Federal program that—in name and action—singles out people of a particular faith warrants immediate [critical] consideration by the Department of Justice.”

Progressive and left-wing activists say much violence is caused by Christians, although few make the argument that the violence is motivated Christian doctrines.

“However, and this will probably shock many, so you might want to take a breath: Overwhelmingly, those who have committed terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe aren’t Muslims,” according to a Daily Beast column emphasizing the role of European nationalist groups in terrorism rates.

I am so tired of hearing this ridiculous argument.

Yes, there was the Inquisition. But that was long, long ago.

Please show, Dems, of how Islam has done as much for the poor around the world, how it has raised money for charity, cared for people, given selflessly to others, as Christians throughout the world have done.

Not possible.

How to interpret this nonsense? I think its a combination of pure hatred of Christianity as the “Republican / conservative” religion in America, combined with Political Correctness being beaten into them over and over.

Christians always turn the other cheek.

The key is Christians have only two cheeks.

After that, tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

Gee, just the other day I was sitting in the pews as the minister urged us all to take up the sword, go to the Middle East and slaughter every Amalekite man, woman, and child.

Oh wait, that never happens.

Seriously?

Let’s do a comparisln between Christianity and Islam:

Question #1: How many people did Mohammed kill? How many slaves did Mohammed own/and or and sell? How many women did Mohammed rape?

Question #2: How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?

Just goes to show the lack of knowledge of both Islam and Christianity. At least one, if not both (with the current pope blessing the spread of Islam), the fault of the church.

They’re probably talking about the Crusades, desperately looking for some false equivalency.

They know damn well that in modern times Christians are not violent. If they were afraid of Christians, Hollywood and stand up comics wouldn’t constantly be mocking them.

It’s like when Sting referred to the Tea Party as violent, even though there was absolutely no violence at Tea Party rallies, but tons of violence at Occupy Wall St, among other Left wing protests.

They just slap a label on something....Bush is Hitler, Trump is Hitler, the Israelis are Apartheid Nazis, blah blah blah. Whatever it takes to affirm their worldview in their little social bubbles.
