"I don't recall Christ killing anyone. I don't recall any of his disciples ordering their followers to go kill people. I don't recall Christ looting, stealing, raping. I don't recall his disciples advocating looting, stealing, and raping. Hmmm.
Yeah, there were "Christians" who have done those things. The key difference here is that the founder of Islam and his direct followers did these things and not only said that doing these things is okay, they encouraged it. See the difference?"
Somebody out there really needed to say what you did. An outstanding rebuttal in my opinion. Nothing grieves me worse that to see such blatant misrepresentation about the founder of Christianity.
Not only was he not an advocate of the things you described, but one has only to read the NT to see how good of a job he did inculcating the very opposite virtues in his followers.
Galatians 5:19, 20
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Why is that so difficult for people to understand?
Political correctness has infected so many who claim to be free from the virus.
