Accusations Nonetheless

Are we faced with a do as I say and not as I do?

Is this not the same accusatorial tone by which Muslims accuse adherents of Christianity doing those things Jesus Christ said not to do? Do Muslims who conduct themselves in activities against humanity take their lead from the words of the Islamic Prophet while at the same time point fingers at Christians who have disobeyed the teaching of Jesus Christ and yet Muslims (some of whom say that Issah is a prophet) conduct themselves in the same reprehensible manners?

We have heard and read of Muslims who have read the teachings of Islam and the Islamic Prophet and then do the very same things you accuse unbelieving Jewish and Christian person of doing. You cannot have it both ways and be right.
