This isnt to rile up the religious folk, but with all the anti-islam talk, you do realize your christianity is based on the same god and characters from the same lineage?

DarrylGallasso and others of his ilk are victims.
Victims of the naieve and quite frankly retarded belief that they don't have to have doubt, that they can chalk everything inexplicable up to the mysterious works of a higher power or the occult. I am proud to admit that I have doubt - and it's ok!
God does not exist. Allah does not exist. The Djinni do not exist. Rahma does not exist. Thetans do not exist. The Heavenly Anointed do not technically exist. ETC ETC.
DarrylGallasso and others of his ilk have my sincerest pity. You are slaves, and in many cases, propagators of the most contagious and deadly plague ever to have been visited upon mankind. Religion has not saved you, it has enslaved you.
Now quit your damn preaching on here.
The Para.

You hit the nail on the head. Islam and Christianity are very very similar. Islam believes in ALL the same disciples and prophets, Islam just adds Muhammad as the last one.

If you look for fault, you will find fault; conversely, if you look for good you will find good. So long as you dwell on and seek out differences and perceived faults in people it is you whom needs pity and I do in fact have pity for you and your inability to get past your own biases in life. It will only hold you back and unfortunately you may not have the wisdom to realize this.
One last thing, could you please point out to me where I was preaching? This is not something I practice and if I had somehow managed to do that I would be greatly appreciative to you pointing it out for me so I do not make the same mistake in the future. It is not now, nor has it ever been my goal to try to give you salvation. I had to find my own, and you will surely have to find yours as well, if you so chose to do so. I do not hate you for your beliefs, nor would I ever discredit you based on your beliefs. I have (to coin a phrase) evolved beyond that. I have realized that people such as Einstein, Jefferson, and Newton had something to offer to society, even though they believed in God. I also believe that people such as Hawking, Freud, and Sagan also have had something to offer to society. By eliminating the bias, I have allowed myself to learn from people of all beliefs which has only been of benefit to me.

There is one huge flaw to your argument.
The figures depicted in the Bible are not responsible, nor do they advocate, mass killings.
Mohammed on the other hand personally beheaded over 900 Jews in Mecca's market place and buried their bodies there as a "warning to non-believers".
I don't recall the Bible ever suggesting that non-believers should ever be beheaded, yet in the Quran it calls for beheadings and killings of non-believers over a dozen times.
Not to mention that there are a number of occasions in the Quran and the Hadiths ("Traditions of Mohammed") where it is discussed about him being "posessed". The suggsestion is that the possession is by a satanic influence too!!!
Damn, by saying this I've just gained a fatwa on my arse!!! Oh no.... Muslims of the world will kill me for saying this... well the nutty ones anyway.
What I have learned after reading BOTH books, is that there is a lot of preaching in both of them. There is a lot of storytelling in both of them, but only one says "it's okay to kill", even if they are "innocents".
Now which prophet would you rather have:
One that says "love thy neighbour" and feeds the thousands with bread and fishes.
or
One that personally beheads jews because they refuse to convert to his religion, and confiscates valuables (gold, etc.) from non-believers?
I think my choice is obvious.
The problem is that in the Muslim world there can be no questioning of the religion, because to do so is blasphemy... yet in the Christian world it is considered (largley at least), healthy to question and learn... Stange but true.
As for the videos - anyone that uses Lord of the Rings to draw conclusions and such forth has not quite learned the principles of being thorough.
Edited to correct a spelling...
