All of these faiths are virtuous and they are in fact, most of them, tied together by the golden rule,
The Golden Rule is FROM JESUS CHRIST. There is NO Golden Rule in islam
Matthew 7:12: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
As for islam - it is a "faith" based on cruelty and death to unbelievers.
This is the Golden Rule of islam:
"Believers! - wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous; and know that God is with those who fear him." (Koran 9:124) Islam has to a large measure been hijacked by people who have no real depth with respect to what the faith in fact preaches, but who interpret it in ways that lead people to conflict and even to violence, Kerry added.
Kerry’s playing to the atheist agnostic peanut gallery..who know even less than he does.
On the other hand...
But one cannot get around what Jefferson heard when he went with John Adams to wait upon Tripolis ambassador to London in March 1785. When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, Americas two foremost envoys were informed that it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.
From John Adams official report to Congress.
(It is worth noting that the United States played no part in the Crusades, or in the Catholic reconquista of Andalusia.)
