By any other name the GOd of Calvinism is Allah. The parallels between Mohammed and Calvin and between Islam and Calvinism are indeed striking. One need only look beyond the words taught by both men to their actions in dealing with rivals and adversaries to appreciate the sameness. The greatest irony is that if a person’s salvation is predestined then the extreme methods by both Calvin and Muhammad were unnecessary, God certainly did not need their help. John Calvin’s methods were akin to Muhammed’s, by fear and intimidation, “by the sword”.
So please explain why your Roman Catholic Church esteems the moselems so much ? Is is because of the sword thingy ?
Wow ! Lookie there... they even make it official doctrine showing the similarities between islam and Rome
DECLARATION ON THE RELATION OF THE CHURCH TO NON-CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS
NOSTRA AETATE
PROCLAIMED BY HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI ON OCTOBER 28, 1965
3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems.
They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,
(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees,
just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God.
Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet.
They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion.
In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead.
Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems,
this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve
as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom.
The Catholic similarities with Islam stop with both being children of Abraham. The Calvinist similarities with Islam are far deeper. They transcend the mere similarities in written doctrine and bleed over into the daily actions and open hostility toward "dhimmies".
