Sorry Mustapha

Sorry Mustapha,

Mojammad did not worship the God of Abraham or jesus. Mohammad worshipped the moon god of Arabia, one, Allah by name and no he did not send his son to save the world, but he did have three daughters all of whom became goddesses. As far as racism in religion, Islam has the others beat there as well. Let's ask the poor blacks in Darfur who are being subjected to a genocidal assault by those peace loving Arab imperialists and their'peaceful religion!'

If you actually knew anything about Christianity it teaches us to treat all men (and women! imagine that!) as equals. It teaches us to treat all people the same regardless of their religion and Christ certainly never told his followers to wage war in his name, unlike Mohammad. As I recall Mohammad also taught his followers it is just fine to lie to unbelievers until Muslims have the advantage. Here to Christ teaches to tell the truth and did not specify tell the truth only among other Christians.

It must be sad in a way. Islam has no real miracles. Christ died and rose from the dead. I know Muslims think this did not happen, but think about it. Once one admits there is a God, then anything is possible. God could come to Earth to teach the correct religion and save His people.

I think one can judge a religion by the fruit it bears. Christianity and Western Civilization has given the world more than any other culture to date. You think maybe there's a little envy in the Islamic world for what the West and Judeo-Christianity has achoeved and what the whole of the Islamic world has failed to do?
