The trap you have fallen into is that Moslems make war on ALL non-Moslems.

NO. The trap you have fallen into is that you didn't read my tag line on the last few posts.

A “religion” that calls for the death or conversion of the entire world’s population, and that has murdered 270 million people simply because they have different religious beliefs is hardly a religion, IMHO.

It is hardly "humble" to resort to a subjective definition of the term "religion." Your differentiating attribute from Judeo-Christianity stated above was that you believe Islam to be more political than religious. ,a href="http://wwww.shemitta.com">Having written a rather pivotal book about the political attributes of a particular law in Exodus 23, I do have the authority to refute that. Too bad for that argument, sirrah.

Worse, the Children of Israel were commanded by G_d to perform total genocide on more than one occasion by the very metrics you propose as unique to Islam. So you'd better hurry up and get a grip on the actual distinctions between the two. I suggest a rather thorough study of the Hebrew in Genesis 16.

Judaism and Christianity are not death cults.

Of course not, but then, you clearly don't know what you are talking about, much less the understand what I posted.

You are correct, I did not read your tag line. We agree more than we disagree.

My argument is that Islam is not a religion — a belief system that calls for the death or conversion of all the peoples of the world is hardly a religion, irregardless of whether it is my opinion.

Last time I checked, Jews and Christians are not murdering people just because they refuse to convert to Judaism or Christianity!

Please provide a reference to your “pivotal book” re: Exodus 23.

My reading of Genesis 16 does not seem to be applicable in this instance.

I am glad that we agree that Judaism and Christianity are not death cults.
