I said it before. But, I meant that I didn't understand the author's reasoning for doing so. I don't mind him criticizing any religion. But, why present one as if it's better ? Most religions are naturally pitted against each other as belief in one typically means rejection of the other.

(3) islam is the final religion that allah most high will never lessen or abrogate until the last day.
Christianity is the final religion according to the Bible.

Many verses in the Bible call for unbelievers to be killed. Christianity has also been used to justify the murder or enslavement of large groups of people.
