Yes, dukalink, it does. These people die for their religions. What have you ever done?

To die for one's religion does not make a person "spiritual". It is an indication that the person suffers from severe delusions about "God" and life and purpose. History books are filled with Jim Joneses, the Heaven's Gate bunch and others like them.

Not at all . Can be free people jealous on slaves ?? U muslims are slaves to old useless rituals that doesnt bring any kind of superior spirituality . Praying 5 times a day at comand doesnt make u more spiritual but turn u into a robot . Reciting ( repeating ) the Quran doesnt make u more spiritual but wash ur brain away .Exploding in anger when someone make fun of ur religion doesnt make u more spiritual but shows how indoctrinate and weak spiritualy you realy are .

It Doesn't Make Me Jealous, Maybe The Koran Points You Guys To Show Your Spirituality...Well, Bible Points To Not Showing Our Spirituality Off... and Koran is just less filled with miracles and stuff that people might don't get them straight, it makes some christians leave christanity for that or just be less spiritual than muslims...

That's a pretty far out there claim. I'm a convert to Islam and I was no more or less spiritual before, when I was a catholic. I think that the statement is prejudice, because it is not what religion you are a part of that makes you spiritual. You can have a close connection with God and worship God and pray to God and only He has the power to decide who is pious. He sees and knows everything.

Your question is ridiculous. If we haven't been martyred then we should be jealous, but if we were martyred we wouldn't be here to answer such a silly question.
And who defines what is more spiritual behavior? You? Are you serious?
43 million Christians have been martyred (according to Christians In Crisis) over the past 2000 years. Over 50% of those in the last century alone. "Foxes Book of Martyrs" is filled with hundreds who have died for Christ.
I would willingly give my life for my God. But I am not a martyr if I die at my own hands. No where in the Bible is anyone described as having died by their own hand who was a believer. A true Christian would not commit suicide as it would be a violation of God's law to not murder (suicide is self-murder).

There is no basis for that statement.
That people as part of their faith are willing to kill and die and for their religion is not a measure of spirituality. It is a measure of willingness to follow the direction of a religious leader to perform an ultimate act. By that measure, Jim Jones and David Koresh were leaders of the most spiritual people in the world, since (for the most part), they were willing to die and without killing others. (Save the attacks on the Congressman's party and the ATF agents).

What has Allah, the moon god, ever done for his people?
Who are his people?
They claim to be descendants of Ishmael, the first born of Abraham.
When Hagar tried to flee from Sarai the Angel of the Lord appeared to Hagar.
Genesis 16:11 & 12
And the Angel of the Lord said to her:
"Behold, you are with child,
And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man's hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
This is a life of hatred, their people have been trained from toddlers to hate anyone except Muslims.
They hate the Jews, because Isaac received the inheritance of his father even though Ishmael was the first born.
However, God said that it would be that way.
He said that Ishmael would not be Abraham's heir, that God had brought Isaac into the world to be his heir.
We are commanded in the new testament to love one another, read 1 John to see that this is true, it is a short book.
I have dubbed it "How many ways can you say love thy neighbor."
We are told to live at peace with one another inasmuch as it is possible. That means as much as others will allow.

I would say Muslims are more passionate about their religion than a lot of Christians, but this makes them more gullible; it seems that all it takes is one person looking for power to shout Allahu Akbar! in front of a few slightly offended Muslims to whip up a storm of protests.

They pray to be seen by men not by God. Jesus spoke on this giving the example of the pharasees and scribes who would do the same thing. With all the praying they do, one would think that they would have a closer or deeper relationship to God and that radical Islam could not exist under those circumstances.
