AFChic,
If I can make an observation here.
CHRISTIANITY vs CATHOLICISM
The Catholic Church did many things wrong, but it did those things contrary to the very scripture that gave it its authority. It took the reformation to set that straight.
MODERATE vs MILITANT ISLAM
For Muslims to be moderate they must ignore what their sacred text says, the same sacred text that gives them authority to do what they do.
IN-SHORT
Christians need to follow their scripture to be good
Muslims need to IGNORE their scripture to be good. They must ignore what their prophet told them to do, ignore the prophet and his writings that give them the very authority they have in the first place…
And that is the fundamental difference, and the fundamental flaw.
Also....
Christ preached the winning of souls and damn the politics
Mohammad preached the winning of politics (land) and damn the souls.
