		<description><![CDATA[To those that assert that Christianity and Islam are both bloody religions.

Prior to the arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Jews (No Christians yet) relied on justification for reward from God. They were required to obey and follow 1) The laws given to Moses written by the hand of God (Ten Commandments) 2) the laws given directly to Moses directly or by revelation as codified in the Laws of Moses. Their salvation was dependent on strict adherence to these laws. Often penalties for not following these laws were strict...stoning etc. A variety of sacrifices were instituted to atone for failure. Therefore the Jewish people wanted to eliminate from their lands anything that tempted them to break a law. No idol shops, brothels, strip clubs, gambling halls, left or right wing newspapers, etc.  If it was sinful or tempted someone to sin it had to go.  Aliens were to obey Jewish law...no exceptions, no other religions tolerated. When they conquered a town, city, land they had to purge everything that was not in compliance...yes that included people...lots of them.  God knew from the beginning that total compliance with these laws was impossible due to mans inherent sinful nature, thus the system of sacrifice for breaking them. No man can be justified in the eyes of God by his own actions...it is beyond their ability.
Because God knew from the beginning that no man could justify himself he had instituted, in the garden of Eden, a method which satisfied His concepts of justice and mercy...a future Messiah who would act as a sacrifice to justify all who believed in him.

Christians believe that Christ died in their place. They are still expected to obey and attempt to live Godly lives, but when they fail they repent and KNOW that that failure is erased in Gods eyes because Jesus takes it upon himself. We are justified through Jesus, not by our own efforts.

Therefore, we appose and speak out against murder, rape, pedophilia, theft, idol shops, brothels, strip clubs, gambling halls, etc etc. But we also KNOW that we as citizens  in democratic countries have no way of effecting the behavior of other citizens or guests in our country. If their behavior is not deemed illegal all we can do is use words and other legal means to oppose it.  Christian were commanded to love one another and support and pray for each other...those who hate and oppose them also.  

In the end each of us as individuals will stand before God and His justice and judgement will prevail. Until then we live in collectives and are controlled and herded about by often Godless men and institutions.
We are taught ideologies, doctrines, and any number of things that are in opposition to those given by God. Love of God and all he represents, love of our fellow beings prevent us from doing much more than speaking out against injustice, intolerance, violence, etc. and living the love we profess by investing our time, resources, and energy into helping one another.

Unfortunately you Muslims still live under justification, you attempt to earn salvation. Your belief that a world under the rule of Islamic Sharia would make it a paradise is ludicrous. Men are way to flawed for that.
How much pain and suffering?, how many millions and billions are you willing to kill to achieve this?  Any God that demands that price is no God. I&#039;ve read and studied your religion and state emphatically. &quot;Your holy writs were not inspired by God but by men and  the enemy of all that is Godly....Satan himself.&quot; 
Like most Muslims I see the evils around the world and pray for Gods rule, but it must be and will be instituted by God in His own way, at His own time...not by men who claim divine rights and authority.  Until then I choose to love, even when it hurts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NoIslam, 
I think you have me confused with Ram Abishek. Ram, I would argue that all monothestic religions are capable of extreme violence against other belief systems, and Hinduism is no different. But islam is the most violent system that one can image - total subjugation of a population  to a set of rules, ordained as being holy but with absolutely no proof of such, and with no accepted (by the entire muslim community) doctrinal guidelines or rules apart from the simplistic &quot;kill or convert all non-muslims&quot; .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Us Americans had a founding concept: Manifest Destiny. We were blessed by God to take America away from the &quot;heathens&quot; who already lived there. They were forced to convert, or die, and even then they were not allowed to speak their own language and had to move to reservations. We are not perfect. You say this is a part of history. America was founded because of this. Jefferson, who wrote that all &quot;men are created equal&quot; meant that all men were, not women, so they were also against gender equality, and even then he did not mean all men. He meant all white, free men, while Islam supported black slaves from the start. Bilal was an Ethiopian slave who had converted to Islam, and black he was treated the same as the rest of Muhammad&#039;s (may peace and blessings be upon him) followers. Women were allowed to vote for caliphs, could own land in their own name, their dowry was supposed to be theirs forever unless they gave it away; it was in case they couldn&#039;t find jobs or something and their husband was dead, and, most importantly, they could inherit. In England, women could not inherit money-that is the main problem in &quot;Sense and Sensibility&quot;.]]></description>
