What is so unique about islam that you can not find in the old and new testament ? Look at the message of Christianity - Love, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, and pray for those who persecute you, etc... Look at its messanger - Jesus Christ - who loved , healed peopele and sacrificed and gave up His life for us .

Now compare that with message of islam , death and destruction . All the good verses which were copied from the old and new testament were abrogated when mohammed went to medina. So, How can you say islam is great when muslum countries are third world countries ? There is no encouragement of creativity in islam. what did any muslum country invent that is good for humanity ? any cars or vaccines or computers or classic music or art . muslum countries do not build anything, they just destroy. Look what the taliban did in Afghanistan, they destryed 2000 years old buddhist statues. if it was not for the oil in the ME what would the arabs be living on ? even Egypt is living on tourism from 4000 years old pyramids.

I can go on and on and on, but please be honest and have some clarity and read the New Testament with an open mind and heart and you will receive many blessings from our True God.
