To me religion is a practice for some and a way of life for others. And your religion could be anything the art of killing people for example is it right or wrong... But one thing I will like to say is that we should not be focus on which religion is right or wrong or interpetion of scripture but love one another... Only thing I ever known Jesus or Muhammad to do was on the street where no one wanted to go and helping the people. What would they think if they found us hear debating over which religion is right or wrong or quoting PARTS of scriptures man edit to justify their actions. People we need to wake up and quit trying to convert one another and love one another as Christ and Muhammad loved one another because they sould like one and the same. Secondly every religion have bad seeds Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now worse or better than a Christian pastor who tell you what you want to hear just to rob you of your offerings. To me we need to kick this religion thing out and start loving.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

You are amazingly right. I do not fixate on an organized religion. It's more about the faith and love that God has that will keep us going, and on the path we need to be on. People are too busy bashing others to notice that they are no better than anyone else. Focus on faith, not on a title for a religion.

WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT IS GETTING CRAZIER EVERY DAY.
YOUR PRETTY LITTLE "CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG" HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH.
WITH OUT JESUS CHRIST -YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IN YOUR SIN AND BURN IN HELL FOR ALL TIME.
MOHAMED NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM HELL.
JESUS ONLY
LOVE IS THE ANSWER.
BUT LOOK AROUND YOU:
THE WORLD IS GROWING MORE AND MORE VIOLENT.
THE LOVE OF MANY HAS GROWN COLD.
JUST AS THE BIBLE SAID IT WOULD.
CHILDREN HATING AND KILLING PARENTS.
MOTHERS KILLING UNBORN CHILDREN.
OPEN YOUR EYES.
SEEK TRUTH
TRUTH IS GODS HOLY WORD.

You are quite right... in fact... wher Religion is addressed: Jesus wasn't too concerned with it... In fact, most of his time during his earthly ministry he was bumping heads with the religious leaders... they were so caught up in the rules and regulations of the law, they forgot about the spirit of the law. The Bible says it like this: Love God with your whole heart mind and spirit and love your neighbor as yourself... and in this you will have fulfilled the law.

This reminds me a bit of the 'social gospel' movement - something that Martin Luther King, amongst many others, believed in and it focuses on helping people and getting past the injustices that society has currently.
I like this way of thinking - bully to you for bringing it up!

Hey101,
This message was brought to you by ANTICHRIST, with a World pleasing message of "Love is Our God. " By the way, the Mark of the Beast is not the one in the Bible. So please proceed to the next government installation post to recieve your Mark. Thank you.

I totally agree! Love is all we need. Now people will start in with Jesus is love, or whatever. They miss the point.

Arguments should stop, but any educational discussion between Muslims and Christians is welcome. Because we have much to learn from each other.

Jesus helped by exposing false religious beliefs, such as Islam.
Islam is a religion of hate. The Koran tells its followers to kill all infidels.
KORAN commands to kill infidels:
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
..... martyrs.... Enter heaven - Surah 3:140-43
If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all they riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered. - 3:157-8
You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. - Surah 3:169-71
Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward. - Surah 4:74
Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil. - 4:76
But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. - 4:89
Therefore, we stirred among them enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will declare to them all that they have done. - 5:14
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme - 8:39
O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. - 8:65
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. - 8:67
Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. - 9:2-3
When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. - 9:5
Believers! Know that idolators are unclean. - 9:28
Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the tribute and have been humbled. - 9:29 (another source: ) The unbelievers are impure and their abode is hell. (another source: ) Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.
Whether unarmed or well-equipped, march on and fight for the cause of Allah, with your wealth and your persons. - 9:41
O Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites. Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell, a hapless journey's end. - 9:73
Allah has purchased of their faithful lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for His cause, kill and be killed. - 9:111
Fight unbelievers who are near to you. 9:123 (different translation:
Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you. (another source: ) Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers....
As for those who are slain in the cause of Allah, He will not allow their works to perish. He will vouchsafe them guidance and ennoble their state; He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them. - 10:4-15
Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell. - 33:60
Unbelievers are enemies of Allah and they will roast in hell. - 41:14
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. - 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.
Those who are slain in the way of Allah - he will never let their deeds be lost. Soon will he guide them and improve their condition, and admit them to the Garden, which he has announced for them. - 47:5
Muslims are harsh against the unbelievers, merciful to one another. - 48:25
Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Through them, Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers. - 48:29
Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate. - 66:9
The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. - 98:51
