Christianity seeks to enforce its moral code through individual choice and responsibility, while islam seeks to take out the free will element by transforming the whole society and thereby enforcing its moral strictures on everyone, everywhere.

Is there any reason to take this statement as anything more than conjecture? Do you not feel just a bit supercilious in attempting to pontificate on the moral purpose of a few billion people?

What do you mean a few billion?

And i look at the way Christians look at things as opposed tothe islamics.

Look at the reality of Saudi Arabia.

Look at the demands for shariah by muslims in the UK and Europe.

ANd now show me the Christians establishing theocracies everywhere......

I believe it is in the Koran, although I can't quote it. Islam means 'submit' and part of that submission is submission to the Imam and to the governmental authorities (of a properly constituted theocracy, mind you).

It's not that Christianity never tried to convert people by force of arms. It certainly has. But that isn't Biblical and it has always failed. We have learned from history (for the moment, anyway) and no longer try to Christianize people by colonizing them.

Shalom.
