See what the prophet Muhammed commands:

And compare to what Jesus commands:

Can you honestly tell me that you don't see a difference here?
Muhammed says: Kill the infidels!
Jesus says: Love your enemies.
Not all Muslims are going out of their way to kill infidels, I hope.
Not all Christians are going out of their way to show love, either.
I get that.
What I don't understand is how people can't see that ONE is a Religion of War (not peace, certainly), while the OTHER is a Religion of Love.
Honest comments??

I agree. They will kill for their religion, we will die for ours. Huge difference.
But no one has the right to say any one else's religion and or beliefs are wrong.

If Muhammad said to "kill the infidels!" then why does Egypt have such a huge population of Coptics? Why did so many Jews and Christians live peacefully amonst the Muslims in Palestine before it became Israel? Why do Jews in Iran have more freedoms than Muslims? If Muhammad so adamantly commanded all Muslims to kill all non-Muslims, what is holding back 6 million Americans from committing said crime?
Honestly, I don't get it. Hitler gave order for Nazis to kill Jews and the Polish, and they did and did alot. If Muhammad commanded Muslims to kill all non-Muslims, why do so many exist in Muslim countries, and why aren't those in non-Muslim countries doing their best to follow orders?
Dare we say some lack common sense?

How about quoting the Qu'ran where it calls for peace and acceptance? Or the Bible where it calls for war and all sorts of other stuff we wouldn't accept in the 21st century? Remember, Jesus was a Jew.
You can't categorize a religion by a few quotes.

Jesus said "love your enemy" and the crusades were act of love by noble Christians,right?! There are barbarians on either side, both will die and kill for their ideology. Listen no ideology is worth human life.

I think you are selectively choosing passages from each book to suit your own needs.
*sigh* Don't tell me everything in the Old Testement was peaceful and loving? And the Book of Revelation? Just a walk in the park...

You started with the belief, and then found the evidence to fit your belief. That's how human beings work, but it's not reasonable to assume that everyone else is going to share your assumptions.
Here in the United States there's a much bigger danger from the Christian fundamentalists than from the Islamic ones, though I can't say I'm wild about either variety.

Religion is messed up anyway...look at the Old Testament where they were commanded to go out and kill people by the thousands and such...it's all a big mess..I don't have time for it.

I guess that you are overlooking where Jesus said that He brought the sword, huh?

I get it. Hate(Satan) vs. Love(God). Love trumps hate, Love wins.
