Muslim world is more peaceful than media would have us believe

The "Christians have killed more people" is a stale line of bull dude. Christians in general, while having done their share of killing, are pikers in the historical sense. You can bone up on the stats here among other places...

Now, back to your weak rhetoric, you've yet to point out where NOW, in the 20th century, (or for the last 200 some odd years for that matter) a CHRISTIAN church, denomination or organization has sanctioned the killing, or waging of aggressive war, on others. Aside from an occasional nutcase you're either going to see the light here or spend a lot of time fruitlessly searching...

The Quaran preaches it and Allah apparently rewards its fruits. It is specifically stated in approximately a dozen Surahs commenting on harassing, taxing, enslaving and killing infidels.

The Alabama case, BTW, is being argued as a states rights issue by most folks. Remember the 10th?

HAVE ANY OF YOU STUDIED THE KLORAN AND IT'S MISSION. THE RID THE WORLD OF ALL PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELEIVE THE WAY THEY DO. HAMMAS AFTER HE WAS ELLECTED STATED THAT THE JEWISH NATION WOULD BE NO MORE BY THE YEAR 2032. SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE SAY, AH, THEY WOULD NEVER, THE ( IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME STATEMENT) AHD BETTER BECOME THE( WE BETTER BE READY) STATEMENT. THE LORD IS HIS WISDOM HAS GIVEN HSI ANSWER TO THIS. HE WILL REACH DOWN AND FIGHT FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE ONE MORE TIME TO PROVE HE IS THEIR GOD... TAKE TIME TO PRAY, RED HIS WORD AND BE READY FOR THE END......
