Besides, what does it matter? The Christian "God" is the same God in both books. Their book is YOUR book, but your book ISN'T their book. So since they don't yap so much, I've got nothing to say to them.

You're just upset that the truth is being pointed out. The Old Testament is a Christian book. It's attached to every Bible...Christians quote it extensively....probably more than they do the New Testament.

So please....don't even try it.
Jesus/God is NOT the same as the korans God/allah

I think it is. How are they any different?

After all, without Christianity and Judaism, there'd be no Islam. Islam is part of the religious family tree.

Bahaiism too.
They are treated the worst by Muslims because Muhammad shut the door behind him.

The Bahais in Iran are treated very poorly.

No, its just easy for you to attack Christians, from what I see most Jewish women on here seem to side with Islam......there you have it!


I don't see Christians quoting the OT.......but I do see many of you quoting it to Christians and for the most part have no idea and take it out of context. One poster quoted about a guy killing his wife cutting her in pieces and sending parts to his enemy.......the part she got wrong, the enemy had already killed her, her husband didn't do it. So, if you and others are going to quote the Bible, at least have the knowledge to get it right.


Now what do you have to say about a disabled girl........seems disabled people are treated worse than gays in Islamic states. These boys learned this behavior some where........they had only been here 2 yrs.

People say the same thing about Mormons.......Joseph Smith is not mentioned in the Bible and neither is Muhammad. Although, both have 2 similarities and even marriage linage............ Ishmael.


I think many Christian groups fail to read the very last page of the Bible......the words could not be any clearer.



Does Islam recognize the line of David?

They did, but are there Christian Terrorist groups on every continent around the world today? Is Islamic Terrorism increasing in every major country in the world, not just the west, today? Has Christianity had a 1400 year long global battle to this day that will never end. Is Christian terrorism growing around the world? I'm an Athiest but only a fool would think there was an equivalency today. Maybe 100s of years ago. If the US was founded by Islamist we would be just like Saudi Arabia, we wouldnt have the choice of relgians or none. When the Ayatola starts washing Christian feet like the Pope I'll consider them the same.

One faith had its time, the other is having its time. It's all relative. If Muslims are only 'following the commandments of their book,' the question then becomes, "why aren't Christians following the commandments in theirs?"

And i didn't say one thing about equivalency.

Jesus/God was a healer that rose from the dead. Allah is a made up being by muhammad the child rapist anti woman fool.

God loves everyone. Allah says kill non believers.

Just look up the actions of muhammad and compare to Jesus

This small town opened its doors to the yogurt plant that was built by a rich Muslim, they want a mosque, but people are divided by this. To say Christians have not welcomed them is false.......as I see they were following their book, until one of the children were hurt. The family of these boys have done nothing to make it right with the little girl.........is this following their book?

Jesus isn't Mohammed's counterpart...Moses is. Mohammed and Moses are the founders of their faiths. Jesus was a practicing Jew. He found NO religion, wrote no holy books, or established any church. Basically, he had some acolytes and told them to spread his philosophies after his death, according to Paul, who is Christianity's founder, not Jesus. Paul never even met Jesus.

There was a man named Paul. I have no idea whether or not there was a Biblical Jesus. Buncha dudes in the Middle East went by that name. Could've been anybody.
