Don’t declare anyone guilty of “hypocrisy” until you learn your Bible. Christ never named an “11th commandment.” He named the greatest commandment (”Love the Lord with all your heart . . .”) and summarized the rest.

Your biggest problem is that you equate Christianity with Islam. Christianity is the religion which shares the Good News that God loves us so much that He became “Emmanuel.” Our God has spent the time since the Fall providing rescue and reconciliation. He doesn’t require that we sacrifice ourselves or our children, much less anyone else. Instead, He sacrificed His Son for us.

Do the muslims you know wear headscarves or have their wives and daughters wear them? If not, how’s that go over at mosque?

Mosque? Until a few years ago my mother and sisters had to wear headscarves while IN CHURCH...same for Synogogues.

Are you claiming the moral high ground for Christianity because they had the headscarve thingy for woman for only 1500 years as opposed to 1530 for islam?

God’s love seems to be a little spotty. I’m not sure I would have wanted to be the recipient of his love while a Chanaanite, Hittite or Philistine in 1000bc, member of a germanic tribe in 700ad or an Incan (or any native “indian” in NA/SA for that matter) in 1500ad. God forbid if one were a slightly odd woman in Salem Mass around mid 1600.

Christianity in the “name of and for the greater glory of God” has committed millions of murders and uncountable tortures of innocent “children of God” in the last 1500 years, including woman and children. If anything, Christians should be at the forefront of understanding and helping guide islam out of their medieval ways...since they have the most experience at such matters.
