twisted words

you have a way with words my friend, but perhaps this talent blinds you from things so simple they are considered without value. by your own words and reference, you made it clear that Islam is NOT against the faithful Christians (i.e. those who do their good deeds and who are humble), rather, they are against the "pagans" (again, by your OWN reference). now here's the simple and obvious answer: THE WORD "PAGAN" IS DEFINED AS "ONE WHO IS NOT CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, OR JEW, ESPECIALLY A WORSHIPPER OF A POLYTHEISTIC RELIGION" or "ONE WHO HAS NO RELIGION". now, NOWHERE in this definition is a pagan defined as a Christian or a Jew, so therefore, your reference is absolutely incorrect. therefore, I find that you have failed to answer Guaav Goel's inquiry and are therefore at a loss.
