Most of us have read all of the jihad debates between clerics and the Muslim Brotherhood and they can't even decide which to teach Muslim school children. So they continue to teach them both. The violent jihad negates the personal meaning of jihad. Even those who wish to believe in Islam are confused. Imams use the same manipulative techniques their prophet used. He asked his followers to believe allah handed him laws they should follow and when he himself did something contrary to those laws and was asked to explain, he simply made more stuff up. Whatever suited his purpose du jour - and that is precisely what so-called Islamic "scholars" do. They pull the noose that is Islam tighter around the necks of their students, keeping them ignorant of historical facts, spinning those they cannot hide to mean whatever they want them to mean.
Muslims keep trying to compare Islam with Christianity. They cannot, because there is no comparison between the prophet who deceives and Christ who demanded presented and only truth. And as Muslims typically do, they obscure the fact that the Crusades were modeled upon and in answer to their jihad. We didn't start the fire.
To Islam, peace is understood not as a pluralistic peace. It is peace created by Islamist subjugation of Christians, Jews, and other faiths.
As a Christian, I am not afraid, nor do I fear Islam. I am disgusted by it. Yes, it is a threat to Christianity and to Judaism, but more importantly, it is a threat to civilized society.
and Christ who demanded and presented only truth.
