Arabs own very nice islands in the Caribbean, Costa Myia has like a ten billion dollar dock for cruise ships and the entire island is Arab owned. Me and my wife were going to move there and live like kings. All you would have to do is take some medical classes, be like an ambulance driver and live like a king.

I know. It's going to overshadow the race debate and a lot of other debates here in the future I predict. It's so hard to reconcile having a religion that has both wonderful people like Woodrow Li and horrible people in such large quantities. I don't see how it can't cause problems all over for both sides, the Muslims and the non-Muslims.

I believe the reason is that fundamentalism (or bibliolatry) is much harder for Christians because of the confusing Jewish concepts, and the contradictions yet anti-violence bend of the actual chosen writings. Islamic fundamentalism would be much clearer and with a stronger bend to accept violence and even deem it necessary and preplanned by God (Allah) for the "Mysterious Greater Good," there is more justification of the allowance of corruption in the powerful and vengeance appeasement in the Islamic texts.

True. The blatantly pacifist statements of Jesus and John derail a lot of the violence is justified by the bible arguments.

The Quran is much more nuanced about peace, the general message being "Muslims be peaceful except in times of war; In war, Allah makes everything as though lawful for you Muhammad."... lol when is war and why would there be a message in the Quran for Muhammad that doesn't apply to Muslims in general? Isn't war when ever anyone declares it (or secretly acts it out lol)? The violent imagery of the New Testament and blatant violent messages of the Old Testament can't often we squared very well with the scattered yet very direct pacifist messages from Jesus and Paul.
