ISIS members are "crazy criminals who are abusing our religion," said Imam Mohammed Elahi of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights. "You're a bunch of gangsters ... you're not Islamic." Organized by imams with the Michigan Muslim Community Council, the speakers included both Shiite and Sunni leaders of different ethnicities and races, all united in saying ISIS doesn't speak for them.

These Michiganders muslims have held at least three public gatherings condemning radical islam.

Mostly agree with you. Additionally, Islam combines the bedouin arab pre-islamic culture with a set of very prescriptive & rigid beliefs, teachings & actions by its prophet. Compared to Christianity, islam is a very inflexible. It has specific instructions for everything. Even how to enter & exit a toilet. Mohammad did so to regulate & control bedouin arabs’ behaviour & even thoughts. It allows almost no room for thinking out of the box. I think that’s the reason muslims believe the Koran to be immutable, so that it’s strictly followed without any questions. The other huge difference is actually between Christ & Mohammad. How they lived, their actions, their words and teachings.

Muslim propaganda.

Christianity has not declined, and continues to spread across the world at a faster rate than, say, Islam.

http://christianityinview.com/religion-statistics.html

Christians now account for 30% of all the world religions. As to Christianity in America, an ABC poll shows 83% of the population identifies themselves as Christian or having Christian values, 13% identify as agnostic/athiests and 4% as Jewish, Muslim or other. It is the culture borne of Christianity that allows the other religions to exist in the same country without persecution, something that has never been true of Muslim nations:

It’s a culture now.

A rock concert,for example,is a part of "culture".There's no rock concert...no rock group...that can bring me to my knees.OTOH,the thought of praying for Christ's enlightenment...or forgiveness...can easily and quickly bring me to my knees!

But that is not what a religion is like. A religion teaches; it is a form of life that gives one peace and happiness. That is what they want to turn [Islam] into as well.

Yeppers, I want to know this religion of of "life" that gives one peace and happiness- Islam - this peace that comes from slowly beheading infidels as they scream and bleed profusely!

Islam is no longer a religion—it is a cult of Death. Any religion that advocates beheading is not worshing God but satan.

Not sure what being a Catholic has to do with it...but if you know any real atheists, you will know that they are deeply angry at God.

You say, how can one be angry at something he doesn't believe exists.

I know the answer...but I think you should figure it out for yourself.

I will say this though. Humans, even babies (perhaps particularly babies) have a built in understanding of and need for God.

Atheism is a brief blip in human history. They constitute a tiny minority...yet they still believe. They just hate Him and reject Him.

I don't understand the reasons for such hatred...but I have a theory.

You will need to develop your own theory.

Satan has a religion. Satan wants to be worshiped as a god.

Islam is a cult (because the exit doors are locked)...but it is still a religion.

A muslim lecturing on Christianity is like a junkie lecturing on sobriety.

He’s right, Christianity is not a religion, it’s a belief in the word of God, and following his word.

Not according to the Bible.

1 Timothy 3:16

"Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great: He was revealed in flesh, vindicated in spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory."

James 1:27

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

I don’t disagree with your statement regarding this guy’s intent. Clearly a bad guy who wishes us evil,

I just happen to agree with him however that, for most Western Civilization, Christianity had degraded into a culture and ceased to be what it is — a religion and, In fact the only complete and true religion. (Judaism being true but not complete.)

Basically he’s the proverbial stopped clock .

I see many a social Christian who is not a follower of Christ.

While forgetting that many non-Muslims are doing the same in turn in regards to his religion.
