Islam is NOT "The Religion of Peace!"
The fundamental difference is this, Christians have the New Testament and do their best to live by this very popular scripture.
"If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also." Luke 6:29 NLT
The timing could not be better, after all, it has only been a couple of weeks since the release of You Tube's "Innocence of Muslims" and the violence in dozens of nations against U.S. embassies which resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American heroes.
So, why do Muslims react in such a different manner than Christians when their sacred beliefs have been "stepped on?" Why do they react violently against others that do not believe the same as they do? Maybe it is because they believe in teachings that is very different than the Christians. Maybe their core beliefs contain something very much different. Maybe the Infidels, which is us, is seen in a much different light. After all, they are "coined" the "religion of peace", but it this true? Let us look at some of their teachings and judge for yourself.
Remember, the Christian New Testament teaches Christians to "Turn the cheek" against their enemies and forgive their enemies.

Let us take a look at what the Koran tells the Muslims to do to their enemies.
"Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them." (2.191)
"Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." (9:123)
"When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." (9:5)
"Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax." (9:29)
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." (3:85)
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam." (5:33)
"The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque." (9:28)
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." (22:19)
"Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them." (47:4)
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." (8:65)
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." (3:28)
"Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran." (8:12)
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." (8:60)
Yes, the Old Testament does have some verses that can be argued as similar to the ones above such as "You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Deuteronomy 19:21 NLT
Christians believe that the Old Testament was the "Old Covenant" that was established through Moses between God and man and the New Testament is the "New Covenant" that was established through our Savior Jesus Christ and his death for our sins. This is why Christians place more weight on New Testament scripture and find the teachings of Jesus much more relevant than those of the Old Testament. For Christians, the Old Testament is great for teaching stories of morale and character, but look to the New Testament for how to live their lives. The ultimate goal for a Christian is to be "like Christ" in every way possible. Jesus always taught forgiveness, love, and kindness.
Here are some of Jesus's teachings of how Christians should treat their enemies.
"But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!" Matthew 5:44 NLT
"But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Luke 6:27 NLT
"Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then you reward form heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked." Luke 6:35 NLT
One can easily see the strikingly opposite teachings of the Christian's Jesus and Islam's Mohammad. I would argue that this is the true reason why there is a fundamental difference between reactions of these different faiths when they are persecuted by their enemies. I would also argue that this is the also the reason why it is politically incorrect to persecute Muslims, but fair game to persecute the Christians.

It is simple! It is OK to persecute Christians because everyone knows that they will do the peaceful thing and "turn the other cheek." Everyone knows that Christians will not be rioting in the streets and burning U.S. flags. They know that they will not be rising up and conducting terrorist attacks on embassies and killing our American heroes. I deplore you and everyone who reads this message, stop believing the liberal lies and do not fall into the trap of political correctness. See and speak the truth about the truth behind these religions. The biggest lie out there is that Islam is the "Religion of Peace!" I argue otherwise, I say the Christians are the "Religion of Peace." After all, I have always been led to believe that "Actions speak louder than words!"
If you do not believe, please show me proof otherwise!
The "Piss Christ" photograph is a perfect example of the difference between Christians and Muslims and why each faith act so differently when persecution comes to their faith.
