I know I don't post that much to have any credibility on here but I'm getting sick of hearing this scarastic "Islam is a peaceful and loving religion" BS... how would you feel if I said because of those right wing nuts that try and bomb abortion clinics that "Christianity is a peaceful and loving religion". It's the same thing.. pls for the sake of not corrupting brain cells around you.. end that line of thinking it's biased and baseless.

"Christianity is a peaceful and loving religion"

Show me in the Bible where Jesus said to go and kill those who worship differently.

Mohammad said it in the Koran.

No kidding, there are some budding Hitlers and Milosevics here on this website, but I think no matter what political venue you enter that celebrates free speech you will always have to put up with irrational morons like the person above who says that no Middle Easterners living here are a credit to this country.

There are MILLIONS of whites, blacks and hispanics out there right now sitting on their ass and soaking up your state and federal tax dollars, and some of you point the finger at all Middle Easterners as the problem? STOOPID.

I was being sarcastic. The part about the joyride was supposed to be a tipoff.

A little more on the:

Contrast Between Mohammed and Christ
Mohammed was the prophet of war; Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).
Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Tim. 4:7).
Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13-15).
Mohammed was the taker of life; Christ was the giver of life (John 10:27-28).
Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48).
Mohammed method was COMPULSION; Christ aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).
Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29,35).
Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thess.1:10).
Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword; Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Heb. 4:12; Acts 2:37). Mohammed said to the masses, "Convert or die!"; Christ said, "Believe and live!" (John 6:47; 11:25-26).
Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Rom. 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Eph. 1:7).
Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).
Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Col. 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).
Mohammed constrained people by conquest; Christ constrained people by love (2 Cor. 5:14).
Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god; Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9).
Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets; modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).
Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Rom. 12:17-21).
Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)
Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Rom. 1:16).
The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244); the Bible says, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10:4).
The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them" (Qu'ran 9.5); Christ said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12); God inspires His terror into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13).
'The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam; the Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Rom. 10:15).
Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah; Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 3:18).
Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet; Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matt. 24:11).
Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah; Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9).

" It's the same thing.. pls for the sake of not corrupting brain cells around you.."

I'm sorry but it is NOT the same thing! The sarcasm is there because this is the mantra we keep hearing and yet where are the Mulsims that stand up and condemn these actions? Perhaps they would be given a little more consideration if they did so but so far the only thing we've heard from them since these attacks is cries of "racial profiling." The silence is deafening. They have used this as an opportunity to infiltrate our schools and peddle their perverse religion to our children when we can't even have our own religious beliefs so much as alluded to in the schools. There is no defense for them. They have had the oportunity and in my opinion they have blown it.

Situations such as this cause reasoning and intelligent people to seek out answers for themselves which many of us here have done and what we have discovered has shown Islam to be anything BUT a peaceful religion. I would suggest that you read some of these threads before you accept the "peaceful religion" propaganda.
