I have listened to those debates

I've listened to those debates. The Muslims always pick Chrisrians weak in English and not very scholarly or trained for debate. Hand picked by Muslims for a forgone conclusion. Never do these Muslim scholars challenge a Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Catholic Cardinal or Bishop, or anyone remotely trained to debate them. It's all show for an Islamic audience. I watch it all the time here in Pakistan - which, by the way, I thank God to be leaving soon. (This truly is a God-forsaken country, like all Islamic countries are. Your own faults.)

But these debates are popular shows, as you're well aware, and the dvds are best sellers for the ignorant masses here. And, besides hand-picking pansies to debate, the Islamic scholars obviously have no idea of what Christianity is, and can't even wrap their heads around the Trinity and sound laughable trying to explain it and other Christian beliefs to crowds of fawning, laughing, stupid, ignorant Muslims in the audience, who (so hypocritically) feel safe and free to openly laugh at my God. I openly laugh at your God and I'd end up dead at the hands of crazed Muslims. The rest of the world is just damn sick of your hypocracy ajnd bullying and hate, and you know it.

Islam is a death cult with the basic tenents being to force all into submission by the sword and through jihad (which is historical shows clearly, besides your book stating so), hate the unbelievers, further the cause of Islam by any means necessary (including mass murder), and an Us against Them mentality that puts Islam at perpetual war with all other peaceful nations, either physically or ideologically. My God would never bring this to His people. My God would never choose a man so violent and murderous and hateful as your so-called prophet. The Christian God is a good and loving God.

My Savior says "Turn the other cheek," not "Smite their necks." My Savior, when addressing the issue of being rebuked and insulted in His name, told His followers to "...turn your backs and dust off your sandals as you leave their presense." Yours says, "Kill him." My Savior was a Jew, and your prophet teaches you to hate Jews. My Savior said as a crowd was about to stone a prostitute, "He who is without sin himself cast the first stone." She was aved and the villagers went home. Yours was nice enough to let the adultress finish weaning her baby before he had her killed for her sins - just like today. My Savior showed us "the light" and gave us free will to walk in it.

Your prophet says kill anyone who leaves Islam. My Savior was a reformer who told us to question and investigate and seek the truth wherever ye may find it. My Savior tells us to "Love thy enemy and offer him your hand." Your prophet tells you to hate the unbelievers, and that we're "filthy." (Nice man, Mohammed.) Your prophet doesn't allow for the questioning of or real investigation and fact-finding of Islam, knowing the darkness that blankets it and the lie of his prophethood. My God warned us of a "false prophet" whom "a multitude" would follow, but who would do the work of Satan. Guess who I think that would be.
