Islam vs. Christianity

Through the history of man that stretches back to the beginning, they were afraid of what they did not understand. Time marched on and out of the caves man came to worship gods they thought made the miracles of nature. Anything that could not be explained was attributed to all powerful beings. Worship of these gods’s was done through sacrifice, offerings, and prayer. After centuries a man came into this world with teachings that changed the way people thought. Jesus Christ taught the masses to believe in one god, the God. This God created the universe and man. This lone God was responsible for morality and justice. Jesus taught that peace was the way to live in this world, and that others should be helped and given the knowledge of the Bible. Six hundred years passed and Christianity spread around the known world. At this time however, a man was born who would create a new religion, a religion with the same principle of one god, but different in almost every other way.

The leader of Islam however, was not quit a peaceful man. During the first 13 years of his preaching, Muhammad seemed to be a peaceful, well meaning man. In the year 623 A.D., he became a political leader in the city of Medina. As a political leader he raided pagan caravans and used force to spread his religion. Muhammad led no less than 27 invasions to spread his religion. He also executed prisoners and sold women and children into slavery. Perhaps it should have been predictable then, that this cycle of violence would continue through the years.

they are today. To understand why these clashes are occurring, one must look at the principles of belief these religions hold. From the creators of the religions, to the teachings of the religions, to the practitioners of the religions, it becomes clear that Islam and Christianity are as different as night and day.

In this day and age we have to look perhaps no farther than September 11th, to show the differences in Islam and Christianity. In our nation, Islam has millions of followers, even though
