Is Islam the Most Violent Religion? – Bodycounts in Modern History

Post from Mark Levin’s Blog:

Is Islam the Most Violent Religion? – Bodycounts in Modern History

Often, I come across the assumption that Islam is a more violent religion.   It’s an assumption that colors our international relations, late night comedy and national discourse.  It has percolated into our worldview, and embedded itself there.  This is a very dangerous misconception we are laboring under.

Is Islam the Most Violent Religion in the World?

Hatred Against Islam

Pope Benedict XVI quoted Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian:

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.“*

Pope Benedict XVI quoted Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian:

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.“*

Samuel P Huntington in his book “Clash of Civilizations) wrote that Islam is Number 1 Enemy to the West or Judeo-Christians.

A parliament member in Netherlands made “Fitna” movie which describe Islam as terrorist and misquoted some Quran verses as source of terrorism. While a Danish Cartoonist and other European writers insulted Islam and prophet Muhammad with indescribable insult.

War in Islam and Christianity

Actually Islam only make war to those who wage war to them. If not, Islam should make peace with them. Many verses of the Quran says that:

“And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and the Knower.” [Quran: 8:61]

“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. [Quran: 2:193]

Comparison Study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam Religion

Abrahamic Faith consists of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These religions have something in common such as the belief of Adam is the first man created and the ancestor of all human beings, Abraham as a prophet, and the Torat as a revelation of God. Nevertheless there are also some significance differences among them.

Judaism is a tribal religion that can only confessed by a Jew tribe. This religion could not be spread to Non Jew. That is why the number of its follower is only a few. Around 14 million people in the world. Meanwhile the Christianity and Islam are spreading to all people in the world and confessed by billions of people.

Islam and the Ten Commandments of God

Islam is one of 3 Abrahamic faith beside Judaism and Christianity. Many of the teachings such as worshipping only one God (Monotheism) similar to other religion such as Judaism and Christianity.

 

The teachings of pig as a forbidden food and circumcision as an obligation for men also found in Judaism and Islam though the teachings are not applied in Christianity.

 

If we take a look at  Ten Commandments of God quoted in Exodus 10, the are many commandments that not applied anymore in Christianity but reapplied in Islam.

Comparison the Power of God in Christianity and Islam Religion

In the Bible, God that is supposed to be the Most Powerful described so weak and powerless, that could be beaten by human, and even crossed to death.

Look at Genesis 32:24-30 that describes God wrestle with Jacob all night long, and could not beat Jacob until He beat Jacob’s groin:

“32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

Contradictions in Bible

Bible Contradictions

PAUL SAID, “God is not the author of confusion,” (I Corinthians 14:33), yet never has a book produced more confusion than the bible! There are hundreds of denominations and sects, all using the “inspired Scriptures” to prove their conflicting doctrines. Why do trained theologians differ? Why do educated translators disagree over Greek and Hebrew meanings? Why all the confusion? Shouldn’t a document that was “divinely inspired” by an omniscient and omnipotent deity be as clear as possible?

Comparison of Christianity and Islam Religion

In Christian belief, there is dogma as follow:

1. All people from long ago until now are sinners because of sin that committed by Adam and Eve, eating forbidden fruit. The sin called “Original Sin.”
2. To redeem the sin, The Father sent His Son, Jesus, to be crossed. With Jesus Crossing, then all people who believe Jesus as the savior will be redeemed, no matter sin or crime they have done, doing, or will do.
3. The Christians believe in Trinity. God is one, but… God consists of The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit. The whole persons are God.

Islam correct those things up.
