The U.S. model for "freedom of religion" is really unique in the world

Jews fled on pain of death from Christian Europe (accept Jesus or die) and lived for centuries peacefully in countries where Islam was the state religion.  When Christianity took over an area as in Spain, the Jews, Moslems, Unitarians, what have you, fled for their lives for other countries.       

When Mr. Mathes delights in shaming Islam, and when someone talks about "Muslim pigs known as "The Cult-of-Death", they don't win hearts to Jesus.   Name calling makes the Faith look bad to the billions of people in the world who don't call themselves Christians. 

What would our Lord say about the 'Allah or Jesus' question?   In the hundreds of times that our Savior used the word "God",  he did not say "Gott, Dios, Dieu, or Deus.  He and the apostles spoke Aramaic, and the Aramaic word is closest to "Allah" (E-LEE E-LEE L-MAA-NAA SAA-BAACH-TAA-NEE) = (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me).

The choice is either to serve our Creator, or to attack others.
