Before anyone condemns Islam for this, think of Galileo and Jacques DeMolay. Both were charged with heresy and blasphemy. DeMolay was burned at the stake.
So are you implying Christianity and islam are the same?
It is not difficult to thumb through a couple millennia of history and find many examples where alleged Christians did bad things.
Yes, man is a sinner in desperate need of a new heart, and new birth, and a Saviour.
That is the essence of the Gospel message ('Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved').
The fact that man acts badly is man's nature, and does not mean these actions are condoned by the Bible.
Galileo was not condemned by the Bible, and in fact was on fairly good terms with the 'pope'. The 'scientists' of the day didn't like Galileo mucking around with their Ptolemaic models, so they put pressure on the Vatican to punish Galileo -- which eventually led to his house arrest where he was confined to his villa.
The problem is that the koran codifies punishments for the 'infidels' - and this death sentence is consistent with the islamic (un)holy book.
No. I'm stating as fact that Christianity perpetrated as many or more outrageous acts in its past as Islam commits today. Islam is a few hundred years behind, that's all.
