Have you seen this contrast between the false prophet Mohammed and Jesus Christ?

Mohammed's method was COMPULSION; Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).

Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Tim. 4:7).

Mohammed was a prophet of war; Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13-15).

Mohammed was a taker of life; Christ is the giver of life (John 10:27-28).

Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48).

Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29,35).

Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thess.1:10).

Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword; Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Heb. 4:12; Acts 2:37).

Update:

Mohammed said to the masses, "Convert or die!"; Christ said, "Believe and live!" (John 6:47; 11:25-26).

Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Rom. 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Eph. 1:7).

Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Col. 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).

Mohammed constrained people by conquest; Christ constrained people by love (2 Cor. 5:14).

Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god Allah; Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9).

Update 2:

Some modern day disciples of Mohammed responded to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets; modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).

Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Rom. 12:17-21).

Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)

Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Rom. 1:16).

Update 3:

The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244); the Bible says, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10:4).

The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them" (Qu'ran 9.5); Christ said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12); God inspires His terror (fear, reverential awe) into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13).

The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam; the Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Rom. 10:15).

Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah; Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 3:18).

Update 4:

Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet; Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matt. 24:11).

Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah; Christ claimed that He Himself was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9).

Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED! Christ's tomb: EMPTY!

    For Brian, did someone hold a gun to your head and say, finish reading all that, now!? No.....sigh...

    I have not seen that contrast quite that way, no. It is enough for me, that Mohammed couldn't raise himself from the grave after death. That is just a start though. Or how about prophecying, and teaching, and doing miraculous wonders that only a god could do?

    Where did you get that list, by the way? Lots of people are going to hate you for that, fyi, but if its truth, what is there to lose, by sharing it to those that want to know it?

    1. Mohammed ( pbuh) is true prophet...2. there is no compulsion in religion.

    why Islam allow fight ?

    read this

    [Shakir 22:39] Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them;

    Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah's repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah's name is much remembered; and surely Allah will help him who helps His cause; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty

    Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil; and Allah's is the end of affairs

    This is too long to bother reading. But, from glancing at it-you'd get the same answer whether I read it word for word, or not. You are a fanatical Christian, and are trying to cause trouble. I'd pick Islam any day over Christianity....not that I plan to change my religion.

  • Funny you cite the ones you attribute to Christ, but not the ones you attribute to Mohammed. Anyway, believe it or not muslims believe in christ's teachings as well... But let's look at your arguments...

    Mohammed's method was COMPULSION; Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).

    Mohammed directly said "there is no compulsion in religion." He didn't teach that conversion should be forced upon anyone, though he would preffer polytheists to not live in his society, he welcomed other "people of the book" i.e. jews and christians. In fact, he lived much of his life among jews.

    Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Tim. 4:7).

    Mohammed's disciples killed for their faith to PREVENT being killed for their faith, Mohammed became at war pretty much as soon as he started preaching and the believers would've been anihilated to preserve economic interests, Christ on the other hand was only killed after he made a public confrontation of those in power, and his disciples weren't seen as a problem to anyone, unlike the Muslims who didn't pay for sacrifices to the idols.

    Mohammed was a prophet of war; Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).

    Mohammed was a prophet who happened to go to war to defend his people (otherwise a lot of people would suffer).

    Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13-15).

    Mohammed promoted fighting the "infidels" that were persectued him for self defense, the only situation in which lesser Jihad was viable (greater Jihad being the battle with the self).

    Mohammed was a taker of life; Christ is the giver of life (John 10:27-28).

    Who exactly did Jesus give life to other than Lazuras?... o.O

    Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48).

    Mohammed wasn't in the practice of murder, only fighting a war, Christians over the years have killed just as many if not more than the Muslims, and have fought many wars.

    Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29,35).

    Mohammed preached faith, and submission, not force, and submission isn't exactly an agressive ideal...

    Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thess.1:10).

    Mohammed was a protector of his people... We see King David, Moses, etc. doing the same thing, why would he be wrong?

    Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Rom. 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Eph. 1:7).

    Mohammed killed to protect those around him... How horrific.

    Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

    Christ lived as an ideal of life that can and should never be achieved by mortals wishing to get anything done (don't fight back and turn the other cheek eventually turn you into a slave) Mohammed was a bit more realistic.

    Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Col. 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).

    As mentioned earlier, Jihad is only a state of self defence.

    Mohammed constrained people by conquest; Christ constrained people by love (2 Cor. 5:14).

    Either constrained anyone?... WHAT?!

    Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god Allah; Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9).

    Modern Christian terrorists derive their inspiration from Jesus and the bible to carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god as well...

    Some modern day disciples of Mohammed responded to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets; modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).

    Some modern day disciples of Christ respond to abortion clinic bombings, hate crimes, and even the death of their colleagues (martyrdom) with cheering...

    Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Rom. 12:17-21).

    They follow their founder, and Christ for that matter, as they achnolwedge he had some importance.

    Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)

    Mohammed called his friends, colleagues, and fellow believers to defend themselves in a war.

    Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Rom. 1:16).

    Mohammed preached to the jews first as well, he lived among jews, and though killing those who betrayed him when the time came, he didn't order their slaughter as people of the book.

    Both made dubious claims. A Muslim and a Christian are both theists. I have no time for any of that, but I fail to see what you gain by asserting that your dead guy was better than theirs.

    Have you ever seen this contrast between people who actually study Islam and those who regurgitate lies?

    There both false prophets. I would say that Jesus was the better person by a few light years.

    I guess you skipped the part "There is no compulsion in religion", or you purposely failed to mention that...oh well!
