Significant numbers also describe Islam as spiritually good (32 percent, up from 19 percent), tolerant (24 percent, up from 16 percent) and open (22 percent, up from 12 percent.)

"We are good, tolerant and open! And if you disagree, Allah willing, our swords shall strike the necks of every last one of you filthy infidels!"

Complete ignorance about the violent, world-expansionist ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.

In the end times, even the very elect will be fooled. Make no mistake, Islam worships Satan, Christianity worships God. They are not the same.

I don’t see how any Christian pastor could call Islam good.

Our church pastor refers to islam as a cult tailor-made for Satan.

First problem. There’s no belief involved in Islam. Once in, never out. That’s not a faith. If you lose your faith, if you no longer believe in Islam, you can’t leave.

As such, it isn’t a religion. As such, it doesn’t deserve protection under 1A. It also doesn’t enjoy federal non-profit status.

If I suddenly don’t want to be a Christian, I can choose not to be.

It’s easy to believe in a method which boils down to a lot of moral and ritual rules, which men are supposed to be able to boast about keeping before the Lord.

But that’s like the Pharisee who offered the boasting prayer before the Lord. It was deemed as false because he leaned on his personal power and forgot his need.

It’s a new covenant with Christ.

Just because Christianity and Islam are rooted from the God of Abraham does not mean they are the same God. Christianity and Islam were established to replace the former belief system and were never meant to be synchronous with other religions.

What would be the point of trying to get people to convert if one or the other is just as good? Yet, the sense of urgency to create converts is at the very heart of both Christianity and Islam. There also lay one of the main differences in how each religion approaches conversion/evangelism. Christianity uses baptism by water, Islam uses the sword.

This is no surprise. Google comments the Pope has made about islam. It’s about the great apostasy/ecumenical movement.

“Jesus Christ, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.” - See more at: http://nationalreport.net/pope-francis-followers-koran-holy-bible/#sthash.fPrqUHVk.dpuf

We can thank GWB for a large part of this confusion.

I wonder what world these humanist "pastors" (wolves in sheeps clothing) are, that they can consider themselves on the same page as Islam? One wonders how high a percentage would say the same of Satanism or witchcraft?

I suspect the only religion they would denigrate would be the one based on God's Word.

The pastors who believe that Christianity and Islam are similar, are the same pastors who promote homosexual marriage and abortion.

Those along with islam are satan spawned.

Well, there are nicer devils and meaner devils. Usually we think of Satan as overtly mean. But all lead to teeth gnashing emptiness in the end.

“Forgive your enemy” vs “Convert or die!” Yup looks pretty similar to me!

“islam is a political death cult. These pastors are morons.”

They know nothing of Islam, or Christianity, or both. Shallow and naive at the very best.

The second, kind of a baptism in evil.
