Muslim and Christian believe the same God. So they are all the same to me. :-)
Christ is the Son of God, not a prophet. So, no they would like you to believe the same, but no where is it the same. God has no use for virgins and neither will we when we die.
That which is spirit is spirit and that which is flesh, is flesh. And neither the twain shall meet in Heaven.

I don't. Why do people have a problem with the 10 commandments?
For me, because it's hypocritical. Why don't you at least try to stick to the 10 Commandments? If you aren't even willing to try, why do you tell me and my children for?
Why is it that when Christians want to express their religion people get pissed off, but it is perfectly fine to express Anti Christian beliefs or Atheist beliefs?
Ahem - this is NOT about expressing beliefs (or lack thereof). Last time I checked, you were able to freely express your religious belief in this great country of ours.
Rather, this is about displaying a particular religious text (part of a religious doctrine) within the confines of a public building - in this case, a school - in a nation that separates church and state (for good reason) and which does not endorse any one particular religion (or lack thereof). This is done, in part, to make this nation a welcoming home to EVERYBODY, regardless of creed, color, race, background, etc.
Thus, the issue here is concerned with religions (more specifically, with the Christian religion) - you can look up what counts as a "religion" around the world. All religions involve a superhuman being... Therefore, "Anti-Christian" is NOT a religion. Nor is, obviously, "atheism."
Besides, how often have you seen "anti-Christian" or Atheist doctrine (whatever that may be) being permanently displayed in school? And no, science is not considered anti-Christian or atheist doctrine, either.
Thus, may I suggest that you are not fully grasping the issue at hand?

Flawed humans, know any? Through God's eyes we are all perfect. I find solace in that, that even the thief that hung with Him found his place in the Kingdom. We should all be that lucky.
However, the topic at hand is the display of an artifact from our social (law) history with in public buildings and what to leave in and what to leave out per our laws today. This discussion and all those like it is just so telling it ain't real. Where we are going into our future of society, is it worse or better than where we have been?
That is for the person to determine. "Can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink".
Ah, I thought God exists regardless of human. :-)
