For once I would like for everyone to stop watching the news and open their minds to research and reading. You r all educated pple,,,,read the Quran, Bible, Torah (all three books) before you decide you hate either. They are all messages from God...and then show me one religion that does NOT have extremists...we dont need to divide this world into different religions, we need to divide this world between the believers and the terrorists (who are not only Muslims but anyone who kills an innocent is considered a terrorist...whether he/she is a rapist, kidnapper...so on).
Does anyone have the guts to study all instead of believing what CNN shows???

All the religions teaches peace not terrorism. Religion is misused to rope blind followers to join them.
Peace

I love that Idea, though I would add 5 things to the list
The Bhagavad Gita (Hindu)
The Tao Te Ching (Taoist)
The Dhammapada (Buddhist)
The Buddha's First Sermon
The Lotus Sutra
I'm starting the Quran this weekend.

You are making the incorrect assumption that the majority of the population is intelligent. Most are sheep that will follow those who they know. Which is one reason why extremism comes about. Sadly hate will never go away because ignorance will never go away. To think it used to be illegal for a muslim to kill a jew or a christian b/c back then they all admitted to believing in the same God. That is why they are all classified as Judeo-Christian religions.

Not particularly. I had to read the Bible for an English class. It was disturbing and made me slightly ill with all it's violence and hatred. (Yeah, it was just the Old testament, the teacher figured we all knew the New Tesatament, and I wasn't all that interested in more incomprehensible jibber.) I'd rather not have my illusions about the other religions shattered. So thanks. I'm sure there are plenty of nice things in all of those books. But I'm happy with life now, I don't need more reasons to think dogmatists are nuts.

True, extremists exist in every religion, but there is a crucial difference between the Judeo-Christian worldview, and that of Islam. In the Judeo-Christian framework, faith evolved from militant roots to love and compassion for others. Notice that the central figure in Christianity, namely Jesus, was against any form of belligerence or retaliation – and he even went so far as to prohibit self-defense through physical means. Islam is quite different in that its early roots were peaceful when Muhammad found the religion, and as he garnered military assets, political clout, and followers he mandated that violence was justifiable from a theological standpoint, as long as it was done to further the religious cause. Most importantly, the central figure in Islam, Muhammad, unlike Jesus, partook and order violence against his adversaries.
Hence, it is a bit misleading to equate both Christianity and Islam as both being peaceful, and yet having extremists. Individuals, who employ war under the banner of Christianity are misusing the religion, and not being true to its central tenets. While those who are violent in Islam, are in fact, depending on the circumstance, following its precepts and emulating the behavior of the most revered and perfect Muslim in history, Muhammad.

Yes, OK .
( Old testament- Prophet Moses )
The Bible Exodus 2:14
The man said, " Who made you ruler and judge
over us ? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian? " Then Moses was afraid and thought, " What I did must have become known."
( New testament- Prophet Jesus )
The Bible Luke 19:26-28
But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me." After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
( Al Quran - Prophet Muhammad )
The Quran 008.012
Remember thy Lord inspired the angels: " I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers:
smite you above their necks and smite all their
finger-tips off them."
Religion ( Abrahmic), too much violence for me.
No thanks away with them all.
Have a blessed day.

I have a message from God, too: He says to use the common sense that he gave you and quit embarrassing yourselves. It is grossly arrogant to claim to have received God's only "true message."
The messages you mention ARE in there . . . but so is all the hatred, prejudice and punishment. The interpretations are so subjective, so that they can appeal to more mentalities and situations. The good/dangerous contradictons should just cancel one another out.

technology ought to undertaking faith. technology is reality, and faith is our convenience zone of the unknown. The extra all of us understand and comprehend the international, the a lot less unknown. Even lots of the Founding Fathers who created a rustic with faith playing a huge function in innovations, only believed in Deism, a superb Being. and then left something to technology... faith does no longer supply solutions, technology does. technology does no longer supply practise, faith does. And both ought to undertaking one yet another

Mark and avoid them who cause divisions: Romans 16:17.
The over-all objective is not to divide, but unity in one God.
Believers? Even devils "believe" there is one God. Their's.
And "their end" shall be accoring to "their works".
Their end: not allowed to continue(human race).
Reason given: life + death does not end with life.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

a true believer "see" a person by their heart and not by their look, sincerely i'll have to say that they are still "young" in their faith. as they still judge a book by its cover, a box by its size, a sheep by its wool, while blinded by a devil that took the appearance of an angel. where i'll pray that our Heaven Father may forgive our fellow brothers and sisters of their arrogance and ignorance acts.
