Thanks for the comparison to the terrorists.
No, we're just comparing some aspects of some Protestant groups' theology to Islamiic theology.
Islamm is to a large extent a Christian heresy -- or rather BASED on a Christian heresy (Arianism) with mixtures of Zoroastrianism and pre-Isslamic arab paganism. It essentially reduces religion to one word: "submit" -- that's the meaning of the word Islamm. There is no room for free will or choice or anything in that religion. If you have a bad ruler, submit, that's better than discord.

I thought to be a heretic, one had to, at least on the surface, be of the same general faith. Are Muslims errant Christians or are they something completely different? Or, in the alternative, is a heretic simply anyone who disagrees with Catholics or Orthodox?
BTW, and please forgive the weird detour, but is Ishmael the "Abraham" of Muslims, or is Mohammed considered the Father?
