Muhammad the Prophet of Islam said: "My livelihood is under the shade of my spear, and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated."
(Sahih Bukhari, p.408, vol.1)
Jesus the Christ of God said: "It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Matt 4:4
"And what you told me about the evils done by Christians—these people were Christians in name only. They disobeyed the word of Christ and they were led astray by the desires of their hearts. The Bible says, ‘The heart of man is deceitful.’ Because of this, you will see no difference between the actions of Muslims who kill and destroy and the actions of Christians who kill and destroy. The difference is in whether or not they are following the example of their leader" (Mark Gabriel, Jesus and Muhammad, p. 141).
The above quote illustrates the fundamental difference between violence and atrocities committed by Christians and violence and atrocities committed by Muslims. Real Christianity is following the real historical person Jesus Christ(Just like real Islam is following the historical person Muhammad), it is not following the Visigoths, the knights Templar, or southern white slave holders. In fact following these people may render your claim to Christianity null and void because you may be opposing the Master the Messiah the "point" of Christianity. From the life of Messiah I can learn how to walk in uncompromising holiness, How to rightly divide scripture, how to Love my enemy and forgive them, how to have a Father and son relationship with God, how to do the will of the Father until death. I could not learn these things from Muhammad or I would still be a Muslim to this day.
On the other hand just like there are things I get from Jesus that I could never get from Muhammad , the opposite is also true. If I want to learn how to be a dictator, how to establish a totalitarian regime, how to use war booty to gain loyalty, how to raid a town, how to enslave another human being, how to juggle multiply women, how to lie as means of deceptive warfare, I can not go to the record of Jesus Christs and learn these things, but I can go to the life of Muhammad and master these skills.
And that's the bottom line, you can drone on and on but at the end of the day it boils down to Jesus or Muhammad, which one will lead you to God? When we want to examine the Body we first look to the head not the feet or the ankles, Jesus and Muhammad are the heads and hearts of their religions, the spirit of the two faiths follows from their lives. We are not foolish enough to think everything a Muslim says and does represents what Islam really is, when I post something from the numerous examples of atrocious behaviors from Muslims it's because it conforms the behavior of Muhammad and his Companions."So now we have both Jesus and Muhammad at the end of their lives returning to the cities that housed the center of spiritual life for their peoples. Muhammad returned as a conqueror. As we shall see, Jesus returned as a sacrifice" (Mark Gabriel, Jesus and Muhammad, p. 62).
