Those who try to equate Christianity and
Islam are, at best deluded and more likely intentionally misleading their readers.
As
has been posted elsewhere and often, Christians believe they go to
heaven by accepting the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary. Good works are
either seen as a sign of salvation or obedience to the Lord's commands.
Christians are commanded to spread the Gospel around the world, baptize
new believers, and teach them to follow Jesus. One can read that in
Matthew 28:16-20. Nowhere did Jesus command that His followers
establish His Kingdom. In fact, he pointedly remarked that His Kingdom
"is not of this world."
The whole Muslim religion is based on
"good works". Muslims are commanded by the Quran to mislead
non-believers. They are commanded to kill and/or enslave those who will
cot convert. They see only two Nations: the "Nation of Islam" and the
"Nation of War". They would rather die fighting than submit to another
authority.

These views are mutually exclusive. They are absolutely incompatible. One or both must be wrong.
It's up to you to decide which path you'll follow. I pray you'll choose the right one...

1. Kill/enslave: As you know, the word "Islam" means "submission". There are direct quotes from the Quran on this page: http://www.blessedcause.org/Quran.htm
ObL could probably quote a few more for you as he pointed you towards Mecca and slid a razor across your windpipe...

We (Christianity/Western Culture in general and the USA in particular) are and always have been at war with Islam. Only
ostrich-like avoidance of the truth has hidden this. Heck, the first
conflict the USA fought was with Muslim pirates on the so-called
"Barbary Coast" (Steven Decatur, "Shores of Tripoli", etc.).
Wake up and smell the coffee, America. Islam isn't the Religion of Peace the President claims it is...
