No I will not give you a break. There are no differences in the Qur'an. Newer laws over rule the older laws why is hard to believe the same for Christianity? The difference is the law never changes concerning the dealings with Jews and Christians.
I ask you what makes a law Christian. Our laws most of them anyway all stem from the building blocks found in the bible. Do not get confused with the laws of God and Christianity
So if you live in the US you are already subject to laws built upon the laws of God and Christianity. Do I believe everyone should be a Christian? That is not up to me to decide, we are all given freewill from God to follow Him or not. He would like all of us to follow Him but He knows that not all of us will.
IF there is no afterlife then I have lost nothing, I have had a good life. If I am right I have gained everything and those who choose not to believe will have lost everything.
If you ask why would God create non-believers? God uses all men both holy and unholy to accomplish His will.
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. —Qur'an, sura 2 (Al-Baqarah), ayat 62
And dispute not with the People of the Book, except with means better than mere disputation, unless I be with those of them who inflict wrong and injury, but say to them: "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our God and your God is one; and it is to Him that we bow." (Quran 29:46)
"This is a message written by Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, far and near, we are behind them. Verily, I defend them by myself, the servants, the helpers, and my followers, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be changed from their jobs, nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they (Christians) are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, this is not to take place without her own wish. She is not to be prevented from going to her church to pray. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation is to disobey this covenant till the Day of Judgment and the end of the world.”
- A message from the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, to the monks at Mount Sinai
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error (Quran 2:256) and (Quran 18:29)
Despite problems such as those we have set out, opinion formers in legal, religious and academic circles seem intent on promoting the growth of sharia, and on belittling the dangers to the vulnerable and of sharia’s expansion into criminal law. We remain disturbed at the number of establishment figures that seem content to promote Sharia as an alternative to democratically-determined and human rights compliant national and community law. Their motives are not clear: is it ignorance?; do they believe supporting sharia is supporting an oppressed minority, is it an attempt to chase votes or some other, perhaps misplaced, motives?
This is an area which demands urgent and thorough study as there is currently much secrecy; it is impossible to know how many hidden sharia courts and tribunals are being held. The first steps should include:
a) Studies to establish the extent of sharia courts and tribunals and examine the way they operate.
b) An information campaign is needed to reach out to women and inform them of their (secular) legal rights, especially in family and inheritance law matters – in conjunction with legislative reform).
We accept that a balance needs to be struck between religious freedoms and the Human Rights of those subjected to sharia. The Canadian province of Ontario, was faced with such a problem and has now outlawed all religious courts[20].

Christians never stoned anyone. That is never taught by Jesus or the apostles. You're confused with the Old Testament that applied to JEWS only.

The fact of what is happening with the so call "moderate Islam" is not far than taking a hard look at the EU situation and Islam infiltration.
Wake up people this is coming near us in the very future.
Dr Taj Hargey: The Muslim cleric who blames British mosques for the 7/7 bombings, says multiculturalism is a disaster and would throw Islamic fanatics out
Dr Hargey has little doubt who, and what, is truly to blame for unleashing such terrorism on our (UK) streets.
'It is the extremist ideology present in many UK mosques which is the cement behind nihilistic plots such as this,' he says. 'They are twisting Islam.'

80% of Mosques have been infiltrated by extremists according to the Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of America
“1999, the Naqshbandi Sufi Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani testified before a State Department hearing.'

You're exactly what I said you are and I'm not about to do the homework for you. Everything I told you is fact and if you even care about what truth is, you can go do your own research. That's how we learn after all. By doing our own research. Unless you're one of those that just listen to what people say and take it at face value.
Praying at the desk by the way is not the same and you know it. You and those like you are seriously headed south. I wonder if you really care about any thing.edit on 8-11-2011 by soaringhawk because: (no reason given)

Is a very thin line between "Extremist and moderate"

For all the left wing pacifists (see the UK) why not go to Saudi Arabia and see how far you get adding a Christian holiday before you loose your head.

To be fair, most Muslims don't take Islam very seriously or even know very much about it.

What is worrying however is how reticent moderate Muslims are at moderating their own extremists.
