Allah? The Moon God?

[shikamaru]

The current narrative regarding who is practicing the "Real Islam" is upside down in my opinion. I believe the so-called "Islamic Extremists" are the true adherents to the teachings of "Mohammed" and his "Koran" and the majority of non-violent 'muslims' are people who know deep down that murder and forced submission is wrong. Therefore, they are really "neo-islamic" and do not follow the example of "Mohammed".

Contrast that with Jesus The Christ; people who do NOT follow His example fall short of being adherents of "The Way"; a state that most self-proclaimed "Christians" fall under even in some cases without knowing it.

1. Christianity was spread by the sword. Remember Charlemagne and his conquest of Western Europe along with promotion of Christianity throughout the conquered territories? That was all promulgated by the sword.

2. Let's not forget Christianity's role in colonialism, slavery, torture, racism, and warfare throughout Europe and the world.

3. European history is rich with examples of extremism in Christianity. The United States have some examples as well to toss into the ring.
