How equal are Christianity and Islam?
Below is summary of an excellent article on Townhall.com that raises very interesting points about Christianity and Islam, tolerance and intolerance and just what lengths the left will go to make both religions on equal footing.
They (Islam and Christianity) are not equal no matter how much the blah blah blatherers of political correctness purport them to be. Their beliefs are not similar, nor their practices, nor their means to spreading their message-and to think otherwise, postmodern Pollyanna, could cost you your rear.
Most Muslims do not condemn jihad.
Christianity and Islam have neither similar traditions nor similar modern realities-Christian religious violence, real or imagined, does not mitigate the reality of jihad.
A "Christian theocracy" in America is a figment of the Left's imagination.
Christianity has embraced reason-and Islam has always rejected it.
The Koran does not invite interpretationand Muslim leaders refuse to discuss how to fit their beliefs into modern society.
Political differences and unwanted international interference are not, in fact, the cause of the turmoil in Iraqand Middle Eastern antagonism towards the west.
Jews, Christians and peoples of other faiths (or no faiths) are equally at risk from militant Islam.
The most determined enemies of western civilization may not be the jihadists at all, but the leftistswho fear their churchgoing neighbors more than Islamic terrorists.
It is within the pages of the Koran to convert, conquer or kill non-Islamic people.
Radical Muslims are the ones you need to sweat-because their book has zero tolerance for the likes of Sully and Jay-or anyone for that matter, who doesn't lock step.
The Judeo-Christian worldview is the only powerful cudgel in existence to ward off militant Islam...
Good points are raised with this article by Doug Giles. Saying Islam and Christianity are the same is like same Apples and Oranges are both fruits. Yes, religion they both are in the broadest sense, but when can we all say an apple is an apple and orange and orange? Not since the Garden of Eden has the nature of an apple been so distortedly presented.
