Christians need to learn more about Islam—a lot more. The religion has more than 1.6 billion adherents.

After serious thoughts about Hitch, Pat Condell and Trump all sitting together, with Islam on the Other side, I decided this wasn't a thread for me.

Christians know about the problem with Islam. What they need to know is the problem with Christianity.

Don't sweat it when it comes to Islam, Jews and (most (1) Christians know where atheism stands. They might just not agree with us about how to tackle it.

(1) there were some who accused atheists of being Muslims. There are some who think the earth is flat, too.

I work for Muslims, a woman, her husband, and now their son has joined the firm. Engineers.

Not dismissing the historical information in the article, but they are pretty mellow people.

I'm always a little dubious when an article written by a human purports to tell me what God wants. Every human, no matter how wonderful, has some kind of axe to grind, and pretending to know God's wishes is what got a lot of us into this fix.

So that link takes us to God's website and his personal commentary?

The Bible contains his thoughts and what we need to know.

"Christians need to learn more about Islam"

Such an Islam isn't found.
