hello!!! well to comment on your article liz #1 iam a convert to islam from the christian faith. and as a christian i seen many different veiws on how they percieve eachother. as who is better then who baptist, catholic and so on. i also have many jewish friends too and looking at both faiths one who has a clear head must see and underdstand that all three faiths come from G-d. judaisim being first, christianity then islam. judaisim began after noah exit the ark...christianity formed out of judaisim with christ and the gospel and islam is the continuation of the word..(not a replacement for the bible).

during the time when judaisim was beginning there was conflict meaning war.killing and murder. same with christianity and now with islam, islam is not new but compared to the others its the newer of the two. therefore islam is battling to come into the new age just as jews and christian faith has. its a shame but none of these religions became better without conflict because when there is change there is different point of views. and most of the time good must battle evil.

people like to speak of the koran on this form and many dont understand it or islam. and with bias minds all your going to get is bias comments. it dont take to be a rocket scientist to know that you can read any type of book and find something negative. with the koran it does speak about killing jews and christians and infidels. but also the speaks about the past and the future. jews and christian in the past and very few now hate islam for the its being. same as jews did christains, christians in turn did to jews and jews and christian are dong it to muslims. and in return muslims are dong it back. everybody must get a grip or we will all defeat the purpose of G-d's laws.

As for infidels, anyone can be a infidel muslim or non-muslim. in the koran its speaks about many will claim to be muslim but are the enemies of islam. i believe the enemy of islam is the terrorist right now and the radical groups out there in the world. Islam taught me how not to judge and also to forgive, love everyone because everyone is a picture of yourself. and treat others as you want to be treated. It also taught discpline to the laws of G-d that i didnt follow too much as a christian. My point is this it doesnt matter what religion you are. the koran says we are all people of G-d. jews stay jews, christian stay christian and muslim stay muslim if they going to make you follow the word of G-d and become a better human being to help life on this planet, then by all means do that .

A jews is as good as a christian is as good a muslims. ( being jew,christian or muslim doesn't mean your a good one. ) there are many of the devil troops in our own faiths that we have to watch out for... not the religion and not eachother.
