Islam/Christian differences--Debate thread

Right, you don't believe the New Testament is true but you follow what Jesus taught...duh! did Jesus teach what is written in the New Testament?

So what are the teachings about violence in the Qua'ran? I think Islam is false, but I want to be accurate about any specific charges. If it really theaches violence then okay. But just saying it teaches violence because some Muslims are violent, I don't think is enough. It seems to me it is possible extremists are apostate Muslims. Without knowing the actual teachings from the Qua'ran I cannot say and that's all you are giving as evidence.

You have to look at the short history of Islamic Extremists.

Go back to when Russia was invading Afghanistan. We supported bin Laden and financed his setting up an army to beat the daylights out of the Russians. He or rather those he hired set up training camps (sl Qaida) to train students (Taliban) to kill Russians. He or some one doing the training took a lesson from the Japanese Kamikaze. but hit upon the idea of using sex as the motivation. They recruited thousands of young kids that had barely reached the age of Puberty and promised them 72 virgins if they got killed  They proved to be very effective.
 the Russians were defeated  there no longer was any need for young people trained for no purpose except to blow themself up and now them Loose canons are running around. Well armed with American made weapons from the days they were needed to fight Russians.

Short History of the suicide bombers, but pretty much to the point.

The justification is a bunch perhaps thousand of former young kids that are now middle aged, that were fed a bunch of nonsense about getting 72 virgins if they blow themselves up. they have never had any training except to kill. they feel betrayed by America and feel they were left to die.  angry people with a grudge against the world and were well trained to kill and still have a very large supply of weapons.

The wording of the Qur'an is "we will be greeted in heaven by companions of the highest virtue." I am afraid those expecting an endless orgy are going to be very disappointed.

Of course I may be in the wrong thread.

If I were to debate Islam it would probably start with Christ's role in God's purposes. That is the biggest difference I have seen so far.

End of story is, you can't show anything. And you can't prove anything. Educate yourself at least the manner of debate

Ugh...Islam hates Christians. What should I do...agree with Islam...duh...

That is probably the only area we have significant differences.

As for morality issues Christians and Muslims are close to being identical. We find essentially the same things to be sinful.

The major and irreconciable difference we have is over the Nature of Jesus(as)

A good starting point is to learn that disagreement does not require hate.  If you actually want to know what Muslims believe the best way is to ask Muslims. Because you learn what muslims believe does not mean you agree. I have a reasonable amount of understanding what Christians believe, but that does not mean I will ever return to Christianity. Religious beliefs are not contagious. One should only believe that which they themselves have verified to be true.
