If that is your standard for "loony," consider this...
The real kicker is these evangelical protestants, fanatical or otherwise, have only dominated Northern Europe since 1500 or so. Prior to that Europe was Catholic. Just shows you how transient and loony Christianity is...
Yeah, I thought you'd get a rueful chuckle.
Islamists may be a psychotic, violent, corrupt, and satanic culture, and a twisted mirror to the children of Yitzchak and Esav, but look at what has happened to European demography and you'll see exactly how Islamic adherence to, and European deviation from practices taught in the Torah have blessed the followers of Islam. Last time I checked, they hadn't murdered 100 million of their own children just for convenience (Europe and the US combined over the last 20 years). They don't eat unclean meat. They keep their "sabbath." They have lots of kids. They pray a lot. They teach their kids in their own schools. They seek to convert non-Muslims. They may be worshiping the wrong god, they may be sickos, but they DO a lot of what the Torah teaches and it works just like the Torah says it does. Were Western "Judeo"-Christian culture as aware of and as dedicated to the union between Christ's teachings and the Torah as Muslims are to the Quran, I think you would agree that Islam would never have had a chance to become what it has.
In short and in many respects, their temporal successes mirror our failings to study and abide by the Word of G_d. It is to the latter that I am more concerned.
Jews don’t seek to convert anyone. I know that Mo’ learned from the Jewish and Christian religions of his time. Even stole from them a bit. But Islam is radically different from Judaism. You wrote partly in humor but....
Just for example. Islam has one prophet and his followers are told they must emulate him and his life. Bin Ladin and the other Jihadists are doing just this. Jews, we look at our prophets and learn from their lives but be are not ordered to copy them. Our prophets have flaws while Mo’ is promoted as “the most perfect man who ever lived, who is worthy of emulation by all mankind”. By everyone this means non-Muslims too.
