    Christianity. And the conflict you describe is being played out in our daily newspapers.

    Christianity, like Judaism, is a religion of freedom. God made us free, and the Son of God respected our freedom to side with him or to reject him, in which case he simply shook the dust from his sandals. Jesus said that those who live by the sword die by the sword, and in Christianity, no one can be coerced into discipleship.

    From the terrible beginnings in the seventh century, Islam has been a religion of coercion and theocracy. Muhammad raided caravans to supply his troops, and he massacred all the men of Qurayzah when they resisted his hegemony (see link). Within a couple generations of his death, Muslims carved out an empire from India to Spain, not by persuasion, but by military force.

    Today Islam cannot command armies, but its imams whip up terrorist campaigns designed to cow Muslims and westerners alike into submission. Nearly every day, terrorists in Iraq kill innocent strangers, and Muslims send their sons and daughters to become human bombs. It is a completely bankrupt system, a cult, not a religion.

    Cheers,

    Well, if they were those creepy extremist islamic people, I definitely would side with the Christians. But, I probably wouldn't side with anyone, God doesn't want us to kill each other over him. Why can't we all just get along about religion and find something else to fight about. It'd be really easy for us to do that

    Christianity and Islam are proselytizing religions, desirous to income followers. they're exclusivist religions besides, saying that they have the only real thank you to God, with the aid of their prophets. Judaism is in comparison to that precisely. even nonetheless in addition they declare that they be attentive to the only real God, they are not saying you will desire to persist with a undeniable prophet or die a fiery 2d loss of life in Hell. Islam honors Jesus yet would not have faith him to be God. Judaism recognizes that Jesus would have been a instructor yet no longer the Messiah. Conflicts truly in basic terms come from those few people who take faith to an severe. remember the previous Jewish saying, "If all of us leaned a similar way, the international could give way."

    If that war did arise, it would not be worth fighting in. Your chances of survival would be low. Nuclear weapons would be involved in such a war because of the fanaticism of parties on both sides. The Sane individuals would flee to safer ground and wait out the destruction and fallout. I'd fight on the Sane side.

  • this is a trick question. It can not be answered. No matter by what name we prey to, we all prey to the lord, our savior. Is Christianity referred to those who believes in Christ. Here is where it gets confusing at, again we have different culture beliefs but you must ask are we preying to the same but just as a different name? One culture refuses to move with the changes of times, where one is always changing. I am a christian, and I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, and he is my savior. But due to that I do not know the exact contents of other culture of religion. as far as i know they are preying to the same lord just under a different name.

    I stand with God, not with "religion" but lets say that Christians and Islam were to duke it out, I think Christians would win :)

    God's Word already tells us that God wins in the end. Everyone will acknowledge Him.

    Islam. They've been less violent over the history of religions and most of them aren't as extremist as the news makes them out to be.

    What conflict should exist between Jesus and Muhammad?

    It seems pathetic that these two leaders have to watch their children at war.

    There is but one God.
