Yuyutsu, you wrote "Did Jesus seek power and domination? No he didn't". That's factually incorrect I'm afraid. Here's the proof with Jesus' own words, spoken by Jesus Himself in the New Testament "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I shall make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am He, who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds" Rev 2:22.23.

You also wrote, "What you describe are social issues, not religious issues". Again, that's factually incorrect. Here's the proof, http://www.evilbible.com Read the links to the actual writings in both the Old and New Testaments, and read the links to the actual "factual" history of Christianity. It's been a violent, wicked religion, JUST as violent and wicked as Islam: Evil done in the name of God, and NOT evil done solely in the name of a country, an army or a political view.

The evil within Christianity and it's theological interpretations was forced out of Christianity several hundred years ago via secular freedom, secular democracy and secular decency. Islam (in the Middle East) still needs to go through that cleansing process. The modern communication era will accelerate that process. It will take a lot less time than it took with Christianity.

Regarding the Koran, I've read and studied the Bible, so I have no motivation to read any more of the Koran than I already have. The Skeptic's Annotated Quran (http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran) has everything one could want to know about it without wasting their precious time reading the whole thing. The Bible, too, for that matter.

Yuyutsu,

Once again, you are committing the No True Scotsman fallacy with your claim that people who commit evil deeds in the name of religion aren’t truly religious.

You need to learn the difference between what religion 'is' and what it 'means to you'. On what evidence do base your claim that the meaning you derive from religion is the one true interpretation of what it means to be religious? What authority are you on the matter?

Yuyutsu,

All I can say is my or Wiki’s examples given of Mohammad and his spouses certainly seem to correlate with a significant amount of Muslim behaviour. If you are in disbelief, why? Why are they problematic as a minority in every country they live in all around the world? There would have to be a reason, don’t you think?

Do you also not believe that he married a 6 year old?

In regards to religious figures, I did not mean to include cults. I remember Rajneesh and the Orange people, and Sheila, his assistant, his sexual promiscuities and his 99 Rolls Royces, whatever.

May May, welcome to the Online Opinion Forum.
I like your opinions so far :)

Constance, did you read May May's post above?
What are your thoughts?
Certainly violence is not exclusive to members of the Muslim religion.

You certainly have a dislike for all things Muslim.
Surely even you must know there are good and bad in every race, culture and religion?

Suse,

Why would the Protestants in the IRA want to kill Protestants?

'The evil within Christianity and it's theological interpretations was forced out of Christianity several hundred years ago via secular freedom, secular democracy and secular decency.'

your ignorance is astounding May May. Secular and decency do not go together. No doubt some of your heroes were Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and of course those who murder millions of unborn babies. You distort your own belief system so well so its not surprising you hopelessly attempt to demonise Scripture.
