Muslims are like Christians. There are varying degrees of obedience. We have all kinds on campus, from full burkah to tank tops. Some told me they only attend mosque on holy days.

MINO's? ;o)

Of course you are right. They not only have different degrees of "observance", but there are different "denominations". Muslims are no more all united in belief than are Christians or Jews.

Ah, no. Muslims are not like Christians. Islamic teachings require Muslims to obey Sharia'h above any another law. How familiar are you with FatWahs?

There is a fundamental difference, and it's seen when these religions go through their cyclical "revivals."

In revival, Christians seek to emulate Jesus, who fed, healed, and evangelized.

In their revival, Muslims seek to emulate Mohammed, who conquered, plundered, and proselytized at the edge of a sword.
