the philosophy

Sorry if I was not clear, the philosophy taught by Christ is the same in any Christian religion. He always taught forgiveness, peace, and love at all costs. This is across the board.

There is no vengeance, no chopping off of thieve's hands, no polygamy, equal treatment of women, prayer for enemies, no militant jihad, no militant conversion, no racism, no Hell, no constant state of war between Christian countries and dar al-Islam, and at least there is an accurate portrayal of God as merciful.

Everywhere in the Qur'an there are exceptions to fighting, exceptions to this and that. Exceptions to morality, as demonstrated by Muhummad.

Christ defeated death as the separation from God, for all, through resurrection. I am aware that there are "two" versions of Christianity. The message is the same, and both stem from the Jewish apocalypticism. The message is the same. Always Love, no exceptions.
