The Islamic version has a little different twist when it comes to infidels?

World religions differ greatly in their individual beliefs, practices and traditions. But the one thing that they all share is the Ethic of Reciprocity, or the Golden rule as it is commonly known.

And so, because of all that we can conclude... what, exactly?

You are ignorant of what the ‘Golden Rule’ actually is. Yes all the other religions say don't do to others what you don't want done to you. That is interesting but by no means is what the Master taught. These instructions are diminishers of bad behavior. That is most definitely NOT the Golden Rule. Jesus taught us that we should love our neighbor as our selves... In other words we should treat our neighbors in a positive manner. We should treat others in a loving and kind manner not in a hateful manner. this is a call to positive action and behavior. More over the full 'Golden Rule' of Jesus is actually an explanation of the two great commandments. The first is to love God with all your heart and mind and soul. The second is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. The other religions do not teach such a powerful message. You obviously have not studied Christianity

Sorry about the formatting. No mater what I did, the system seemed to want to put it all together in one big paragraph like that.
