yes there is one GOD i do not know or understand why there are so many diffrent religions any way because in the end we all stand before the same GOD to be judged yes sir i do agree that the usa has not rite or need to be there i wish this whole crazy war would have never happened but i also wish that 9-11 never happened as well. None of us GODS children can change what has happened nor can we change what will happen in the next few days,months,or years i do not agree with the president of the us when he stands there and says that this war is needed and that the loss of lives is a worthy cause because he is not loseing any thing that is why it is so easy for him to keep it going it is not his family that is being ripped apart like so many others who have lost members of there familys that can never be replaced.There are those of us who fell bitter because of the war but sir you can not judge us all to does not matter how many times you pray a day that makes you a christain but it is how you care GOD in your heart every were you go and share his love with everyone i do not have to bow down to GOD to pray i can pray to him standing up any were i am and sir that makes me a christian to.

Islam may be peace based but there are many who claim to be Muslims who move into other countries and blend in for years only to in turn blow up the very people who they have talked to everyday, lived next to, and probably let their children play with. At least when America attacks someone, we announce where we are going and why. Britain never saw the train thing coming because these were people who had gotten accepted as part of the scenery. There aare more than likely hundreds living in america undetected now that are simply waiting on a sign. So which peoples is more of a threat?

Islam is the same thing it has always been,a hate filled vitriolic religion which brings nothing of value to the world. And the only reason they don't rule over the lands of others is because they now have no real power due to their insistence to live in the 7th century essentially. But their history shows other than this peace loving people you purport to be. Women are essentially slaves and human life can be taken for the most minor of infractions. But don't fret because many Christians are at heart just as hateful,they just do a better job of hiding it behind their ugly little smiles.

USA is not a religion. And, as far as occupying other lands, what's all the fighting over Israel then? How do you know what All Christians do or do not? Not all Christians believe Jesus is God. I suggest you learn what the different people believe.
I don't believe Islam is peace. And the reason is, I do not see those within Islam (who claim it is peaceful) speaking out against those in Islam who are not peaceful. Killing a nun because the Pope quoted an ancient leader is not what I would call peaceful. And until I do see that happen, I will not believe Islam is peace.

Hmmm..not really very peaceful flying air planes into the world trade centre, was it? Or killing innocent people in the middle of London? As for bowing down to God, well that's your choice, and in most western countries you are free to follow the religion you choose free from persecution but that also means allowing others to do the same, which the majority of Muslim countries do not. Islam seems to be all about blind obedience - its the sort of thing Christianity went through in the middle ages. I'm afraid you have a lot of catching up to do.

It is all that bowing down to God five times a day that makes you people commit so much crimes in his name, why don't you love you neighbor like yourself instead of killing them. America occupy their land, because pay back is a biatch, they will know that for every 2,000 americans that they kill they will lose 10,000, if that do not stop them, they will have to exterminate them all.
And like someone up there mentioned, take your propaganda somewhere else go tell the jihad Islam is a religion of peace it is not working here.
may Allah be with you.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God but made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men.
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death - even the death of the cross.
Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11
***
Other than this, I haven't found a place in scripture where Christians are commanded to bow. I have found places in scripture where bowing in the presence of God is the automatic response of the heart, but I haven't seen anywhere in our scriptures where bowing is a mandate.
And just because you don't see Christians bowing their knee, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Jesus said we don't make our prayers to be seen of men, but we enter into our closet and shut the door and pray to our Father in secret and our Father who sees in secret shall reward us openly. Mathew 6:6
Another reason you don't see us bowing because He makes our feet like hinds' feet and set us upon our high places and makes us to walk upon our high places - 2 Samuel 22:34, Psalm 18:33, and Habakkuk 3:19.

Why put limitations on God
He can do what ever He wants to do
He is the Blessed Trinity
1 God 3 Divine Persons
Just because you cannot do this
does not mean He can not be 1 God
with the Divinity of 3 within Himself
God had to divide His anger
think about it

And... radical Islam is not Islam and as far as I know, no one is claiming the two are the same.
I am a Christian and I bow to God every second of every day, not just five times a day. It's a way of life and not a mindless repetition of tradition.

I have came to the understanding, Jews, Christians and Muslims are all brothers and sisters, we all pray to the God of Abraham, Ishmael and Mohammid. Islam is Peace and Submission to Allah.
Most Christian sects don't literly bow down to God, some do. Most require you to stand and raise their hands up towards heaven as a witness of shameless faith.
