This Catholic is thrilled to proclaim I have NOTHING on common with Mohammedanites!

Except that you both have beliefs that your church claims are good enough to get to heaven. Seems like you have a lot in common with Muslims!

what an inane reply was yours....Catholocism IS Christianity and the greatest heresy in Christianity is Protestantism....Moslems were never Christians, hense do not qualify as heretics. Protestants, on the other hand have drawn more people FROM Christ's truth than most other beliefs combined.

Are you on crack or just plain stupid?

Muslims have never been Christians. Furthermore, many Christians are NOT Catholics. Get a life.

For all I know the spirit of God/Christ is with me everyday.

He is with the plumber who gives the woman in Idaho the price to fix her leak based on the 45 minutes it will actually take him, the bus driver in New Jersey who waits for the rider to cross a busy street, even the lawyer who goes to court truly believing their client is innocent and wants to prove it.

This debate is immaterial to the issue of whether Islam is anti-Christian/Judism.

The fact that this article tries to paint Islam as a Jesus sympathetic relegion is propostoruous.

Jesus didn't suggest that if you were to die in his quest for phophetism you would get 72 virgins or young boys to serve you in Heaven. Nor did he suggest that you should kill "infidels" (non-Jesus believers) "Wherever you find them". Or solicit and condone the killing of non-mohamad believering women and children then say, "two goats won't butt there heads about her," to a self confessed killer.

Like it or not this is a relegious war, based on the beliefs of the FUNDLEMENTALIST, NON-TOLERANT Muslims.THEY HAVE DECLARED WAR ON ALL NON-ISLAMIC PEOPLE ON EARTH.

IMO th Quaran is like the bible in reverse, soulful at the beginning, punitive and regulatory at the end. Martydom and the like is a fantasy reward based on sex, fruit an water. Maybe a 1000 years ago it made sense in the desert community when Mohammed went shopping for support as a prophet.

The extemist view of the Islamic terrist is the same as the Nazi's.

Until the Islamic relegion answers these difficult question regarding their prophets call for killing infidels and innocent people, this will nerver end.

Unlike the Christian relegion, Mohamadism begins and ends with Mohamad. Christ lives in the heart and soul of everone forever, whethter as the Son of God, Messenger, or "Good Man".

This assertion is meaningless. There is more divergency then there will ever be commonality. Moroever, Islam was based on Christian and Jewish notions and yet fundamentally is different. The Jihad is central to Islam for example.It was for 13 centuries or so and still is in many Islamic groups as can plainly be seen. The Jihad has nothing in common with Christian principles nor with principles developed in Judaism down through the centuries.

Moreover, the assertion "Muslims love Jesus as much as Christians" is wholly a patronizing notion. In point of fact, Islam nearly wiped out Eastern Christianity. If Islam loved Christ so much it wouldn't have destroyed whole Christian communities. It wouldn't have dhimmiized and oppressed Christians for centuries. It wouldn't have kidnapped Christian children, and made them Islamic killers as were the Janissaries. It wouldn't have enslaved Christians in Asia Minor, Spain, the Balkans, etc. Islam has never been good for Christianity and it's insulting to suggest any kind of convergence or agreement except in the most oblique ways.
