Christianity fits not exist apart from the Old Testament. Meant evil things have been done by some in the name of Christianity including but not limited to the Catholic Church. They are not reflective of what it is to be a true follower of Christ and there are many genuine Christians.
While I agree with you that there are many self identifying Muslims who choose to live out a peaceful version of island, it is simply not a true reflection of that religion. Peaceful passage are abrogated by later violent passage. Mina Nevisa, author of Miracle of Miracles, is from a prominent Muslim Iranian family, the much doted on youngest daughter of seven children. Her father was one of the top 25 Muslim scholars in the ME and her grandfather started one of the top 3 Muslim universities in the ME. She had to flee for her life when her father found out that she had converted to Christianity. Her cousin was raped and then murdered for doing the same. Because virgins are guaranteed entrance into Paradise, they had to do what they did. She knows the Koran very well and is very clear that true Koranic observance can be summed up in one word: Jihad. Her words. Not mine.
I think that we can agree, at least, that while there are those who practice a peaceful version of Islam, it is a dangerous to be ignorant of its darker teachings and requirements.

Yes, that's the important point. Islam ITSELF, in its founding and sacred documents, is a declared enemy to the rest of humanity. That SOME -- perhaps most -- self-identifying Muslims do not agree with that or in some cases even KNOW about it does not change the fact. And real-world behavior of far too many Muslims, especially when the group is close to becoming the dominant population in a nation, continually showcases that fact.
Protestant suicide bombers aren't common.
Buddhist grooming and rape gangs aren't in the news.
I'm relieved to hear someone else on this site say these things. I have felt so discouraged at times because it seems as if many who frequent this site focus on some sources of evil to the exclusion of other very real dangers. Jihad is real.
Thank you
Yes. I too am amazed and discouraged that so many people, even here, seem oblivious to Islam's true nature -- despite the evidence for it being in plain sight.

It's Islam that is a threat to others.

I have begun praying that Americans will being to understand these things without it being costly.
