Don't you find it at all peculiar that the only thing that seperates your vehement belief in your God, and their vehement belief in their God, is the geographical accident of your birth?
Had you been born elsewhere, you'd be every bit as convinced of the "truth of Allah" as you are currently convinced of the "truth of God". Doesn't this give you even a moment's pause for consideration?
And I would have at least seen Ghandi as preferable to the schizo personality of Mohammed. Mahatma Ghandi said, "It is a constant torture to me that I am still so far from Him whom I know to be my very life and being. I know it is my own wretchedness and wickedness that keeps me from Him."
That would have led me to Christianity and Jesus. Just look for the truth and let that guide your beliefs, don't mold truth to fit your preconceived notions.

I'd like to raise the possibility that there would be more worship of Yahweh and Jesus in geographic areas occupied by islamics if they would end the practice of killing Christians.
Spoken like the true moral relativist that you are! There is decernable truth and evil in the world, and every human regardless of their birth location has the capacity and duty to understand these. Muslims who embrace the taking of innocent life for the sake of their "Religion" have made their choice and demonstrate that they are little but "humanist" dupes who have no place a God's table. Theirs will be a terrible and swift judgement.
Perhaps he is ignoring you because your observation is meaningless.
Some people born 'here' are muslims.
Some people born 'there' are Christians.
You were born 'here' and you are neither.
So what's your point?
You're generalizing. For some, the attraction of the bible is that it's the only place where truth exists. I was born in an atheist family, and was an atheist for the first 24 years of my life. However, I've always been a searcher for truth of the environment around me. The more science, physics, Chemistry, Mathematics classes I took in college, the more I realized that there were many dimensions that the human senses can't be aware of for the most part. If there are many dimensions, then anything is possible as far as alternate existences goes. Reading the bible makes one realize that there's no way it was wholly inspired by flesh man. It's the only "religious" work that I've read that conveys the extreme intelligence that can only come from one that is much more cognizant than man. When I read the Koran, I don't get the same feeling. Before the bible, I read the works of alternate scientific religions, those didn't impress me either. It has nothing to do with the popularity due to region as you say. I'm a contrarian and so it wasn't easy for me to accept something a lot of other people believed and that I spent years speaking against, being a scientific minded person. If Christianity didn't exist in this country and there was no access to it and the main belief was Islam, I would still be an agnostic. But the words of God in the bible prove to me that there are dimensions that exist and that we will all report to when the silver cord is broken.
When I read your words, you sound just like me before I turned 24. I guess there are some who come to know and some who know not.
