And an open mind and the emotional maturity to objectively deal with criticism would be nice, too.:D

Blasphemy is a victimless crime...only one religion seems to consistantly have a problem with any kind of criticism against it. Only one religion actively seeks the death penalty for people who speak out or leave it. How can any respect be given to a system that seems to have the same rules as the Mafia?

You should study Islam properly pal, you do have wrong information.

I would like to add though that the difference between Jesus and Muhammed is that later was a warlord and the former did not advocate use of force.

You still need to review your information sources !!!, if you want to talk about wars in the name of relegions, you can refer to the dark ages in Europe when all wars errupted and supported by the Church !!!, doese it mean that Jesus is a warlord !!!, get real man

Surely it's no coincidence that everytime a follower of a certain religion joins this board all they do is go on and on and on spouting the same narrow-minded nonsense with a total inability to see any other viewpoints?

To many Muslims, religion isn't part of life, it is life and they do not accept any other viewpoints.

No religion is one of the major parts in life

Why is it that Muslims are allowed to proselytise, but Christians aren't?

On a serious note, I am sure you have studied Islam so I suggest you start practising it according to the true teachings of Quran and Sunnah and not the culturally manufactured and/or Saudi interpreted Cult Muslims around the world seem to be practising nowadays. Stop your nonsense here, you cannot defend your ‘brothers’ neither can you convert anyone to Islam on this forum and showing your ignorance will only do more harm to Islam.

In the world I live in, religions will always be judged by the actions of its followers and sadly Muslims nowadays have no credibility and they are worst of all the Abrahamic religions –Now don’t ask me why otherwise this debate will never end, use your bloody CS.

You are too biased to ever admit you are wrong. You are putting up a strawman argument; this has nothing to do with how people use historical figures to justify actions, this is about how Muhammed actually was a warlord attacking other tribes and conducting raids .
