No so Islam – and especially not so the Wahhabi branch of Sunni Islam. The Wahhabis believe that Allah’s organs are physical, and that Allah sits firmly on a ruling throne in Paradise. They take in a literal sense every Qur’anic statement, especially when it relates to warfare, and most particularly to jihad – religious war.

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

The system feeds upon itself, and is growing stronger by the day. In recent weeks, Iraqi clerics have begun issuing Fatwas to their local congregations that, in effect, put at risk every non-Islamic person anywhere in the region. These people cannot be stopped by reason. They cannot be starved out. And they certainly cannot be changed. Their message of universal fundamentalist Islamic rule over all Muslims now and over the entire world as soon as possible cannot be ignored if we value our freedom and way of life.

That's right, Islam is essentially fundamentalist, and it is absurd to compare Islam to Christianity, and to compare God to Mohammed. Mohammed isn't God. As this article indicates:

In another sense, however, Islam is dramatically different from both Christianity and Judaism. The Judeo-Christian focus is mainly on peace and nonviolence - turning the other cheek. Granted, in practice, our own heritage has had its share of faith-based wars, but in today's modern world, both Christianity and Judaism can be considered entirely benign.

This is not the case regarding Islam, their goal is to impose their religion by force. The following chart sums up the difference between Christianity and Islam.
