Please tell me that you are saying this because you do not believe in God, and not because you think the Islamic faith is bogus...

Perhaps I should restate. I do not believe in a higher power, muslim extremists are mentally ill.

Where they differ is the whole issue of Mohammed, some Chistian scholars acknowledge his existence, as a prophet of sorts, and Islam sees him as the Savior.

A vey enlightning thread, I like the ones that make you think and look up references.

While I believe you are right about the origins of "Allah" I also think that today the nuslums will tell you that Allah is the one God
the same one in the bible.

You mean the same muslims that say that you go to a celestial brothel for killing your fellow man?

Let's think things through here.

Do you differentiate muslums from muslum radicals?
Or are all muslums the same to you?

Which ever ones adhere to the five pillars of the faith.

An amazingly sweeping generalization. Do you really believe that every Muslim in the world is out to get you?

The muslims that are culturally muslim as some of my neighbors are, do not represent any more of a threat than a catholic does. The ones that adhere to the tenets of that are a problem.

My experience has been different; I have met Muslims who were both devout and moderate. My view is that many people interpret their faith in way that's suites their prejudices - I see the the prejudices as the major problem, not the faith itself.

what are the five pillars and how could they possibly be misinterpreted? It seems very clear to me what mohammad intended and indeed practiced.

Yeah, people who follow the five pillars must be evil.

-Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;

-Establishment of the daily prayers;

-Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;

-Self-purification through fasting; and

-The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.

The carrying for needy one is really telling.

Guess Storch has his own translation of the Koran, printed in same press with those (in)famous ballots so some small misconceptions are possible when reading it

Since that time, the hatred of the Jews as the money-lenders or "userer" of Europe and the "murderers" of Christ has ebbed, slowly but surely. Many Protestants and Catholics are now re-embracing their Jewish roots and publicly recognizing the relationship between the two faiths.

Islam has gone through no such transformation.
