The similarities do not exist. One is work-based, the other is a free gift devoid of works or rituals.
It really has to do with accountability. Why doesn't the Islamic majority in the United Nation condemn the thousands of terrorist acts perpetrated by those of their faith? Because Muslims cannot judge other Muslims. Only Allah can judge them.
Yet when it comes to judging the infidel, there are no holds barred. They can set off bombs in buses and in markets, burn churches because of cartoons, sentence converts to death and thousands of other acts around the world--all with impunity.
Now, let us contrast this attitude with what the Bible teaches. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 "For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges."
This is the polar opposite to Islam. The Bible teaches that the Christian is to judge the actions of other Christians and call them on the carpet if they are doing ANYTHING unbiblical. However, those who are NOT believers, the Christian is to leave alone, that only GOD will judge them.
So if Islam chose today to standup and condemn every single act of terror and violence committed in the name of Allah, you would see this attitude change overnight.

When you reach the bottom line, all religions really preach the same thing-peace to all, love, brotherhood, high morals(more or less the same versions),etcetcetc.
Just the details differ-and The Devil is always in the details!

It's actually a misspelling due to translation. Back then they didn't have silverware nor napkins. It is supposed to read: "Pieces upon their beards" and means that they had just eaten a good mean - a luxury not always easy to get back then.
