Just a casual look at their daily devotions to God makes me feel ashamed for giving so little of my own time to God...
How about you?

The point is not rather Allah is God or not, it's about the devotion given.

I too am put to shame by their unmoving faith and complete devotion to God. However, I would guess that only about 5% of Christians agree with you and I.

IF you are a true Christian, you don't look down on anyone. Christianity preaches love and acceptance. I really hate it when people generalize a certain race or religion. If one person of Christian faith looks down on a Muslim, that is on them. It is not as if Christians go to church and the priest says "Muslims suck" All religions are equal, though different. A good person makes no judgements one way or the other. As a Christian I have no problem with any Muslims... as long as they are good people to me.
** IF you feel ashamed for giving so little time, then you should simply give more, attend more services, pray more often. The time you devote to God is a personal choice... if you feel you aren't giving enough than make time to give more!

Look to the news media, to start with.
Then look at Christianity----they feel no one is right but them, and that is the second reason. All but Christians are looked down upon.
You talk about Islam daily prayers, and such. Also, try looking into the daily prayers and such of the Jews.
I think you will find more Orthodox Muslims and Jews both have a regimen of prayers. The are very beautiful------those of both religions.

Ashamed? I think not. Islam is a religion of works. The god of Islam is a god of vengence. Their god is impersonal and has no relationship with them individually. Just ask them! They reject Jesus Christ as God and Saviour. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.
Squirm, Liberals, Squirm
Give me a thumbs down, I eat them for breakfast. Better to die for Christ than accept Islam at gunpoint. . .

We don't look down on them...They are very devoted ...but to a false religion...
Muslims (and Islam) claim Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...
They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross;
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Christians are you blood sacred? Most christians who tried to understand ISLAM; became MUSLIMS. Islam is TRUE. It is not the devotion that attracts them - THE FACTS they come to know about.

I dont hink we do, it says we have to Love our enemies whoever that may be.
Love our neighbours, and do unto others as you would do unto them.
Jesus made that clear, they are the guidelines for today.
