Is that all you see this as?
You have fewer Christians who have done these things, so you count yourself as superior?

If you want to play that game, compare the numbers of people killed by Christianity and those killed by Islam.
OhDear's link put Christianity in the MILLIONS, and Islam in the hundreds of thousands.

Yet they weren't following Christ's TEACHINGS. Thats the point.

Quote:

Mohammad may be classified as a "man of war", yet the majority of Muslims show no real interest in war, and the majority of Muslim clerics preach peace.

You can try to throw stones all you like, but inevitably it's still a pot with a dark blemish pointing to a kettle with a dark blemish.
The Koran has many lovely peaceful passages, that is true, and many Muslims follow these, that is true. But the Koran has many "abrogated" -- that means replaced, verses....replaced with later verses that call for jihad and killing of infidels. Thus, those who follow the more fundamental Islamic rulers are doing what their holy book says they must do to be a good Muslim. There is a vast difference between this and what Christ teaches Christians to do with their lives.

Sorry you've missed that point. It's a fundamental difference....following Christ's teachings, and following Mohammed's teachings....

Which taught peace? If a person kills and claims it's in Christ's name, everyone who follows Christ knows it's a lie.

If you kill in the name of Islam, Muslims celebrate a great victory for Islam. It's in their Koran, in all the verses that replaced the peaceful ones...the ones put in when Mohammed was in Medina....once he was a warlord, killer, and pedophile....once his followers began spreading his teachings by the sword.
