A needs to be repeated BUMP:

"Put another way, Christianity is the only world religion that is not all about what a person has to do. Rather, as has been said, it is all about what God does for us. We are not saved by our works, but by the work of Christ, who, by His grace, gives us salvation as a free gift."

Praise to the God of Salvation.

Judiasm has never tried to force it's religion on any one else, and it does not try to take control of other people's lives or kill them. Judiasm can in no way be compared to Islam. Judiasm has proved that it can live peaceably in this world. Islam is at odds with every other people and religion. Islam is a blot on humanity.

[Captain Kirk]

"Islam" is a blot on humanity? Quite a steeping statement. What do you suggest? We take over the Islamic world and dragoon every man, woman, and child into "thought reform" camps?
