That documentary was chilling. As I've always said, Islam is not a peacful religion. Here's what they believe: God gave the Word to the Jews, the Jews blew it. Then God gave the Word to the Christians, and the Christians blew it. Then God (Allah) came to Mohammad, gave him the truth, and the Muslims are now following holy orders (the Koran) to rid the world of sin. Should they reject Allah's commands, they too will be rebuked by Allah.

This is pretty close to what I understand also from my study of Islam. Muslims do NOT believe that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are co-equal in value or holiness. Islam represents the fulfillment of the two earlier religions. Muslims I am familiar with will offer various inducements to non-Muslims to convert: sometimes money or (to women) jewelry. Muslims do not understand a refusal to accept their truth of Islam's clear superiority over Judaism and Christianity, and they don't take it lightly. Killing those who refuse to accept Islam is quite an extreme step even for Muslims, but it IS underlain by a quite strong assumption that is nearly universal among observant Muslims that Islam is definitely superior to both Judaism and Christianity, and that people who are given the chance should be able to see that and convert to Islam.

One problem... Sin cannot be eradicated in this life, that's why God sent His son into the world; to pay the price for sin for those who believe... John 3:16.
God the father has ordained that the judgment for sin will take place at the great White Throne Judgment, which takes place after one leaves this mortal tent behind. No, Islam is not carrying out God's Judgment in the world today, Islam is carrying out Satan's hatred of God's people, here and abroad.
