Science. Communism. Socialism. Anarchists.Not specifically named, but there are many references to false prophets and so forth. What world religion can you name that claims to offer salvation and wants to exterminate Christians?

Further, Islam is not bent on exterminating Christianity. Islam actually preaches that Muslims should live in peace with Christians, since they worship the same God.
Current Islamic Radicals wish to exterminate Western Society, particularly the US, because we are allies with The Zionists in Israel.
Non-believers is most certainly different than people of the book. Islam does not consider Christians or Hebrews to be infidels, since Muslims believe that Allah is the same God. They just feel they have the final revelation.Nice try but you have your facts wrong the Qur'an does call for the extermination of non believers. This is a fact that Muslim moderates cannot seem to explain.

However, if you want to pick out certain verses about killing infidels, why don't you take a look at the Torah...
Deuteronomy and Numbers aren't exactly books that will bring people together to sing Kumbayah.
I really don't. On one hand I'd like to believe that when people congregate for the worship of the Lord they see one another as equals irregardless of any worldly issue like financial status or even visible moral behavior. But on the other hand I know people have eyes and the judge each other with contempt not showing one another the un-merited love that the Lord shows us. It really may be the ''sister Bertha betternyou's'' in the congregation that look down their nose at you for not wearing a suit to church or coming from the 'wrong' family that is the face of politics at a personal level.Why would you doubt that issue. Religion was born from Religion. Politics is an off shoot of those divisions.
No. I am a devout Catholic. However, I consider myself very knowledgeable on the subject of Catholicism, Protestantism, the history of Christendom, and also on the Arab world, to include Islam.
So, do you consider "real Christianity" that which was on display during the reformation when you had protestants and Catholics gruesomely killing each other?With respect, what I see going on in the world around me leads me to a very different conclusion on the "real" Islam. Since the very things that these people are teaching and preaching are directly tied to their holy book I find it hard to accept any apologist's explaination.

There are plenty of examples in the Koran in which great prestige is given to love, charity, justice, and mercy. There are also parts of the Koran in which Allah is a vengeful god.No, but then the Bible tells us to love all people and to go to great lentghs to win their voluntary surrender to Christ, not to slaughter anyone who does not accept Him as savior. Christians have the example of Paul and Stephen who suffered for their faith instead of inflicting death and destruction on those who didn't understand.
But then again as the authority you have explained yourself to be, you already know this.

Can you please tell me how that contradicts with our Bible? As far as I know, all Trinitarian Christian sects still include Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus in their Old Testaments. If I wanted to pull out a few verses from those books, I could make everyone who worships Yahweh look like a cult of blood-thirsty people.
The "Muslims" who are perpetrating this "Jihad" against the West are perverting Islam.
If the KKK and the Westboro Baptist Church can pervert Christianity, then why are you having such a hard time understanding that certain persons can also pervert Islam?
