A few excerpts...
"Most Muslims genuinely appear to love their God, Faith, and other Muslims, in a passionate, intimate way that is foreign to most, if not all, people in the West. This is not to say Westerners do not love their faith, God, and brethren; evangelical Christians have a fervor for God and His word similar to the Islamists', though they have yet to take up arms in his defense. Even they, however, do not live and love their religion with the ferocity and thoroughness of many Muslims, primarily because Christians-evangelical or otherwise-accept the American and European legal divide between Church and State."
"Nost Muslims believe seperating church and state is an apostasy. "You are the nation," bin Laden criticized Americans in a late 2002 letter, "rather than ruling by the law of Allah, chose to implement your own inferior rules and regulations, thus following your own vain whims and desires. You run a society contrary to the nature of mankind by seperating God from your politics." For Muslims, God's word-as He revealed it in the Koran-and the sayings and traditions of the Prophet (the Sunnah) are meant to guide all aspects of life: personal, familial, societal, political, and international."
"The idea that any group of persons, any kind of activities, any part of human life, is in any sense outside the scope of religious law and jurisdiction is alien to Muslim thought."
Basically, Islam to Muslims is much, much more than a "religion" in the American sense. It is an identity and a prism from which everything is viewed.

That's the Dumb part first of all according to the Bible, you follow God's Laws first, and THEN THE LAW OF THE LAND!
So Is Christianity to many of us Christians of Any Denomination or Not, as I know you are aware of White Devil. You have stated you grew up as a Pentocostal, and doesn't the Teachings of Christ apply for more then Laws for a Religion but actually how we should live. But I noticed you said in an American sense, so I understand.

You are judging Islam on the basis of the Bible? That's like scoaring an SAT with a scooby Doo maze on the back of a cheerios box.
But I believe Christianity makes the same assertion.
What is the first Commandment? "Love God over everything else"
What is the directive to Christians? "Be ye perfect, as your Father in heaven is also perfect."
In other words - Live your entire life according to God's law.
The only difference between Christians and Muslims in this respect is the Muslims have kept the day-to-day laws (very similar to the Old Testament Christian Law) to this day, whereas Christians view their directive as something philosophical rather than literal.

That's the Problem with the Church and it's entirety. It doesn't go with it's laws day to day. I'm not Discrediting the Passion Muslims have, cause sad to say more of them Are more passionate about Allah then They way many Christians seek Jesus.
Well they're Judging us on the basis of the Qu'ran am I right?

any perspective with a closed mind will be biased.
what enters the mind will be filtered through only to fit the world you have built within your subconscious mind.
ONLY once i declared myself a nonmuslim, i began recieving the proof by thoughts and ideas that were valid, and denied islam.
before that period i was going through an intense month long process based on some logic but mostly feeling. in the end i knew it wasnt morally correct n quit it.
this alone is a huge factor that disables people from seeing the other real way.

They care that much about their religion. It's something we don't understand. I suppose I lose people with lengthy posts.
Basically, to many Muslims, Islam comes before everything, from sunrise to sunset and everything inbetween, and it is the guiding factor and the perspective from which everything is viewed - it's a sense of religious loyalty and identity not often seen in the US.
Here we view people with that level of intensity in any religion as kooks.
