Now that's a ringing endorsement for material overachieving if I ever read one! ;-)
The definition of success that I was thinking about was a little different. I was talking about a more macro view. In the Christian world, every effort is made to encourage everyone involved in a conflict to find a way to a solution without specifically damaging another party. The win/win solution is viewed as the best. Not so under Islam.
And cherry picking the bible to lend credence to your personal definition of success doesn't negate my point.
Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mat 19:25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
