Muslims are more Christian than Christians are, they worship a single mono God, the God of Abraham and the Jews, the God who identified himself to Moses specifically as a Mono God, to differentiate himself from all the Triune gods of Eygpt.

And who does Christendom worship?

The trinity gods of Eygpt.

This thread opens with a silly question, much like asking 'should I beat my wife?'
Fortunately most people saw it as silly and gave appropriate answers, so I laughed rather than cried, lol.

it's stupid because if one religion believes there is only one god, and the next religion says the same, doesn't that mean that the two gods must be the same one? They're only arguing over details.

Yes, and in the case of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, they are all worshiping the One God of Abraham, which means its the Interpretation of the details.

"Do not argue with the followers of earlier revelation otherwise than in a most kindly manner (unless it be such of them as are bent on evil-doing) and say : We believe in that which has been bestowed from on high upon us, as well as that which has been bestowed upon you; for our God and your God is one and the same,and it is unto HIM that we all surrender ourselves.

The Islamic world in the Middle East and Persian Gulf is going through a similar process to that experienced by the West during the Enlightenment. There is a struggle between those who advocate liberal republicanism (or some reasonable facsimile) and those entrenched in religious tradition.

You never met my wife...

(yes, facetious response, but based on the reality that my ex wife was bi-polar manic deppressive with schizoid tendency, and very fond of stabbing people.)

Of course the United States is liberal republicanism that is deeply entrenched in religious tradition, so I guess we're completely screwed.

I don't think it is right to persecute people for their religious beliefs. I respect religion.

Without an informed electorate, which is rarely demonstrated in the U.S., I don't see much liberal republicanism. :-(

Especially with extremists, ones faith is basically a representation of who the follower is. Its part of the point of being faithful, in most religions out there. If the belief is corrupt, then so is the person following it. It effects you much more than you probably realize. Race is much more different than faith. With faith there is a reason to, with race there is not.
