Sometimes people try to compare Islam with Christianity.
But this is one section of history which Christians acknowledge as wrong (Matthew 5:43-48).
In contrast, violence, deception, and warfare have characterized Islam from the beginning to the present (source).
Jesus said we should love our enemies. Mohammad, who ordered the killing of thousands, said, “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah,” and “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” (source)
People sometimes compare biblical submission to the treatment of women in Islam. But that's another ignorant claim.
Christian submission is about leadership, not value. Scripture clearly explains that women are equal to men and should be treated with respect and protected as physically weaker than men (Galatians 3:28; 1 Peter 3:7).
The prophet Mohammad said the majority of people in Hell will be women. He said it takes two female witnesses to equal one male witness. (source). The Quran commands husbands who think their wives are not behaving right, should “advise them, and forsake them in the bed and [finally] strike them.” (source)
No wonder Islamic domestic abuse is so prominent in America (NBC).
Christians aren't perfect, but Christianity doesn't approve or promote violence or abuse. Islam does.

Beware of propaganda: social media hides most things which criticize Islam and promotes things which defend it. If you google a question about violent Islamic laws, large numbers of Islamic sites appear with attempts to explain away these violent passages in their holy writings. But the life and words of their prophet Mohammad, their violence throughout history, and their violence against women reveal the true character of Islam.
Why am I writing about Islam?
I've started writing occasional posts about Muslims the last few years because most Christians simply see Islam as a false religion, instead of realizing that their purpose is to convert or kill Christians and Jews. We need to understand that Muslim violence and hatred is not simply about extremist groups. The religion itself is extreme and violent. And Muslims have a growing influence in our world based largely on propaganda and threat.
Not all Muslims are involved in fraud, deception, hate, and violence, but their faith is based on holy books and prophets promoting deception and hatred. Muslims who act in deceptive, hateful, and violent ways are not violating Islam. They are faithfully living it as directed in Islamic teachings. Listen to this video to find out more about the ungodly Life of Mohammad, their revered prophet who claimed to reveal the character and commands of their god Allah.
Let's be fully aware of what Islam teaches, fully aware of the deception, violence, and propaganda it promotes. Let's pray for Muslims to come to know the only true God who teaches love and honesty. And be aware that only fools compare Christianity with Islam or Mohammad with Jesus.
Also beware that Islam inspires fear in people, and government agencies often try to mask the fact that Muslims are behind violence. For example, Muslim extremists have been murdering Christians in Nigeria for more than a decade while most news agencies ignore the violence or claim it's not related to religion.
