    By that definition all religions would be satanic religions. Your statement is based on the fact that Christianity is the only true religion. All believers of any religion also believe their religion to be the only religion. The reason so many religions exist is because its very debateable which one is the right one.

    Actions of people do not define a religion but its teachings does. The teaching of Islam are all based on peace and tolerance. As I said, if you can point any teachings which are not, I did be glad to hear them.

    You are talking about politicised religion. Always a disaster, no matter the religion. Including Islam. I know good Muslims, well, at least they are until they cut off their wife's head or fly planes into buildings in the name of their false god.

    For the record, Muslims believe in the same God as Chritians do.

    I agree with most of this post, but just like the Bible, the Qu'ran and the Hadith are not exempt from incitements to violence. The task is for the moderates to carry the torch for the peaceful messages to combat the hijacking of the faith.

    Every one except Christians and Jews are wrong.

    The teachings of Islam are based on murder and vengence.

    Give this a gander.

    No. They do not. The message of the Qur'an is totally different than the message of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. There IS NO congruity between the two.

    The radical Islamo's are the true practitioners of Islam, the rest (moderates) are infidels like the rest of us.

    And you're talking about politicised religion as well. ALL religion is hijacked and used to promulgate a political agenda by extremists. Religion has always been politicised.

    A madman came up with the ultimate death cult franchise idea.

    Islam is the McDonalds of death cults.

    Sorry, but you have it wrong completely. They are not anything close to true practitioners... it's really sad that you agree with them when you say that they are.

    Muslims will say that Islam is a religion of peace and it is a minority of extremists that commit acts of terror or are trying to impose Sharia law.

    As I said, every religion believes themselves to be the correct ones. The point is very much debateable. Many people born into Islam study other religions extensively and convert. Conversely, many people born into Christianity and other religions have studied Islam extensively and decided that Islam is the correct religion. Just as you believe you are right, other religion followers believe the same thing. By your logic, all religions would be satanic religions since they all contradict each other in many ways.

    How much have you really studied Islam to conslude they are based on murder and vengeance? The fundamentals of Islam are of peace and tolerance. It talks extensively of the rights of neighbours, relatives, friends, servants etc. It teaches tolerance and to turn the other cheek. The article you quoted, talks initially of what Muslims do. As I stated earlier, what Islam teaches and what Muslims do are totally separate things. Next it goes on to cite incidents and quote Hadith and other excerpts which are totally inaccurate and false propoganda by followers of other religions.

    The radical Islamo's follow every jot and tittle in the Qur'an, the moderates do not they mistakenly think that Islam is a religion of peace like their progressive leftist brethren.

    Again, not true. The Quran covers a multitude of topics in a small space and is open to interpretation on many subjects. The radicals choose to misinterpret it to suit their own purposes. The moderates interpret it based on their best knowledge of the Quran, Hadith and events at the time along with changes in society and circumstances that may have taken from that time.

    Their are many belief systems in Christianity as well. What would you think if I say only the most radical of them follow Chistianity correctly the rest are just non believers?

    No, its not debateable at all. There can only be one truth, anything else is a lie. Deception is a powerful tool, ask Adam and Eve, they feel for the lie and doomed humanity to false teaching and seperation from God through sin. My logic is sound then, good to know, and glad you got it. I provided a link that had the verses from the Qur'an that encouraged vengence and murder, which are the fundamentals of Islam, not peace and tolerance and historical periods where that was true are anomolies, ask the Christians in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. And ask those in Saudi Arabia about the justice of Sharia law that have lost a hand for some minor offense. They know for a fact that I am right.
