Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—

37 “Anyone ...[text shortened]... me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Yes, there are. But by the doctrine of abrogation the
moderate Muhammad of the first days was swept away
by the vile, angry, blood-thirsty, and power crazy one
of the later days.
Jesus is love. Jesus is one of the most charismatic figures
ever stepping on this earth.
Jesus lived and preached all-encompassing love, spirituality,
brotherhood and hope.
You cannot really compare a gospel of love and hope with
a gospel of war, inequality and hate.
Those who choose to be Mohammedans, so be it. God bless
them and may He forgive them. But I don't like that kind of
creed to be preached and acted near me. That is not the
world I want to live in.

Sorry, I am trying to stay away from Wikipedia.
I like my knowledge of things, no matter how small
and weak it may be at any point, to arise from more
conventional sources.
Thanks anyway.

Perfectly legitimate tool when used properly.
Do you disagree that you have a medieval Christian view of Muhammad?
the link you provided. Here is my answer to you:
* I do not think Mohammed is a false prophet.
* I do not think Mohammed is a servant of Satan.
* I do not think Mohammed is the anti-Christ.
How is my view of Mohammed similar to the one portrayed
in the link you provided?
