And Then; Maybe It's Not So Great

Knowing about Islam and partaking of its religious fervor are two separate things; knowledge in truth sometimes clashes with beliefs of the religiously fundamentalist ideology that seeks to destroy that which it does not understand. Islam does not manifest the fundamentalist causes with desires of collaboration; but instead seeks dominion, even (and actually more especially in the apostate Muslims of the world) where it has been seen tragically imposed in all too common scenes of desparate intolerance to non-conforming religious practices.

Her is where the separation occurs: Islam in its fundamentalist extremist form requires a perfection of religious submission, which by all accounts, is never achieved. In true Christianity, perfection is achieved by submitting to the sacrifice of love of Yeshua the cross and allowing His perfection to be applied to the believer's inability to be religiously perfect. That cannot ever happen in Islam; and just maybe that is one distinction tt makes the love of Yeshua the greater offer of faith to be considered over Islam.
