    I remember reading an interesting note of a priest having difficulty trying to convince incarcerated people to join Christianity because they were being outcompeted by Islam due to the fact that the Bible was wildly inconsistent with its messaging unlike the Quran which was a straightforward book of rules.

    He went on to talk about how prisoners were always initially interested to learn that the Bible contained explicit material, but would ultimately find the Quran more useful because it just repeated itself about what and what not to do.

      The scary thing about islam that they are following the Quran to the word (since everyone reads the original) unlike Christian dogma that selectively chooses what parts of the holy book are enforced…

      Say stoning, the Old Testament states that adulterers are to be stoned. Do Christians want the Donald duck to be stoned? Jolly goddess no. The Quran states that adulterers are to be whipped, but they also hold the Old Testament sacred so they whip the adulterers before they stone them!

      We fear islam because its preaching its 1416 year old message and we find Christianity more acceptable since it isn’t…
