Islam And Christianity Are NOT The Same.

Boortz was talking about the (true) comment made on the floor of the House by Virginia Fox that we have more to fear from the "healthcare" bill than from islamic terrorists. Then he went off on a tangent and once again proved beyond doubt that he has it dead wrong. He thinks the radical muslims are the exceptions. They are following the rule. He also falls into the trap of calling up the memory of wrongs done by Christians in the name of Christ. Here is the difference, once again, for those who have been under a rock:

Christ was a peaceful man, with few exceptions. Those exceptions were when people were violating the only temple in the world dedicated to his Father, the one true God. He taught us to love our neighbors and spread Christianity by word of mouth. It was said of the early disciples that they had turned the world upside-down, but it was their doctrine and the life-changing relationship with Christ that changed the world.

Those who perpetrated violence in the name of Christ were mostly not acting in accordance with the stated wishes of Christ, or were acting in response to muslim aggression, or (let's be honest) were in it for the cash. At the time of the crusades, by the way, if you had a single Bible in your city, that was pretty rare. If it was in a language you could understand, and you could read, and had access to it, you were a dramatic exception to the norm. The people were largely only led to believe what they were told by the (often corrupt) Catholic priests.

Mohammed was NOT a peaceful man, unless you mean when he was not on a raid. He led and personally participated in DOZENS of bloody attacks on neighboring cities, for the sole purposes of plunder, rapine, and gain of status. He advocated spreading islam at the point of a sword. The muslim (ottoman) empire spread through BLOODSHED, not word of mouth.

Those who are currently perpetrating violence in the name of allah are doing so in accordance with the stated wishes and example of mohammed. The koran is widely available and the literacy rate is, while low, still much higher than in the eauropean middle ages. Nevermind that, when they to school as children, they were made to learn the koran by heart whether they can read or not.

These religions are not worshipping the same God. Their goals are not the same. They are opposites.

Do not be fooled.
