A Muslim agrees with a Christian

Allow me to thank you for agreeing with me. If anyone knows anything about tax collecting, it was your Muhammad. He was a very good tax collector... At least you agree with me on that point. You said it...he was human, and he was susceptible to human traits, like greed, lust, and a voracious thirst for power. Thank you for that.

The true fact is, no one knew about Muhammad or even cared about him until he started to walk the violent path that Islam still walks today. He never searched for peace, which is why Islam is still searching today, some 1400 years later. I'm sorry to tell to, Islam will never find peace. Islam will always be looked at by the rest of the world the same way a human looks at a stray, rabies-infected dog.

So I will say this once more...thank you for making my statements more credible. I thoroughly enjoyed your response. The only thing that I wish you hadn't said was your calling me your brother. ...
