Contradiction in terms? Or just a cover for the Brotherhood to bring down Christians and kill all of them that are in the country. Well I believe them when they say they go by the strict word of the Koran. Kill the unbelievers or make them slaves if you cannot convert them.
Now not to belittle just Islam Christianity has also had it's bad period as well. Luke 19:27 "26"I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 27"But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence." Now that to me sounds like a very cut and dry statement. And I know because it is considered a Parable it can be interpreted in many ways. But considering the times that jesus lived in, it was the very beginning of of a new understanding of Christianity. But it was just that one statement out of many of peaceful statements that people take Christianity to task. Now move to todays society. Christians in almost all countries are very peaceful and preach peace and love and the word of the Bible.
Now lets take a look at what in the same reference Islam does.
A- Truly, god loves those who fight
B- Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them,
and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for
them in every stratagem.
C- Chop off their hands and chop off their fingertips
D- When you meet the unbelievers, chop off their
heads
E- Fight and slay those who don't convert wherever
you find them
F- Believers, take neither Jew nor Christians for your
friends
G- Those who follow Muhammad are ruthless to
unbelievers
H- Those who reject Islam are "the vilest of creatures"
and thus deserve no mercy
I- Fight them until Islam reigns supreme (throughout
the world)
Now if you notice the difference it is quite clear that some people never caught up. Their is a clear difference in the ways of just two religious groups interpret and respond in todays society. You can make up your own mind which is staying more true to the peace that was preached. (To me it is kind of obvious at this point.)
The reason I brought all of this up is for one reason and one reason only, and that is to get people to understand that there is no give and take here. One group preaches peace while another says they are the religion of peace while doing just the opposite. Not one Cleric or Islamic leader has come out and stood by his peaceful religion and said "stop the killing". "This is not what Islam preaches". Why might you ask? Because they will have a bounty on their heads by the radical groups that hold power over a religion using death as a leash.
I will never be able to understand why people of all faiths and cultures cannot live in peace with each other and respect each others rights. Even in the U.S. now we have honor killings
and in England and in France and, well most of the European countries, Islam has established their own court systems and their own set of laws despite the laws of the countries they reside in.
I guess when it comes down to it they will follow to the letter the following:
A- Truly, god loves those who fight
B- Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them,
and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for
them in every stratagem.
C- Chop off their hands and chop off their fingertips

BIBLE:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10)

Comparison between Muhammad and Jesus (Isa)
Jesus (Isa)
Muhammad
Jesus is God (John 1, Col. 1) and here. Jesus forgave sins and dispelled demons in His own name. He said "I and the Father are one".
Muhammad admitted he is only a man (Surah 18:110)
Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Matthew 28:6)and rose into heaven in front of many witnesses.
Muhammad remains dead
His Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection was foretold by numerous prophets. See here
Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1300 yrs before Muhammad): "...What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?"
Nothing predicted about Muhammad. The "Comforter" was the Holy Spirit Jesus promised the apostles.
Jesus lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Allah himself refers to Muhammad as sinful (Surah 40:55, 48:1-2).
Jesus did numerous miracles to prove His divinity, including raising the dead and command over nature (All Gospel writers and Josephus). While teaching his apostles Jesus said; "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves" (John 14:11 and Matthew 9:2-7)
On two occasions in the Qur'an Muhammad admitted he could do no miracles to show any sort of divinity or divine calling (Surah 17:90-95; 3:183, also see: 29:50-51)
Jesus cared for His enemies (Matthew 5:43-44).Jesus promised to save those who believe and trust in Him.
Killed his enemies and anyone who disagreed with him (Surah 9:5)
Held a high view of marriage and hated divorce - as God the Father does (Matthew 19:7-8).
Muhammad commanded his adopted son to divorce his wife so that she would become his (Surah 33:36-38)
Accurately prophesied many verifiable events that took place after His time (Matthew 24).
Delivered only one -questionable-guess/prophecy about the Romans winning a future battle. No date or place given. (Surah 30:1-4)
Jesus gave his disciples authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness (Matthew 10:1; Mark 6:12-13)
Muhammad gave his followers the authority to wage war on unbelievers.
Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers. (Surah 48:29)
Jesus told his disciples not to ask for money, and not to carry money with them. (Matthew 10:8-9, Luke 10:7)
Muhammad instructed his followers on how to divide booty they seized from unbelievers. He insisted on 20% for himself.
Jesus said to his followers that if anyone will not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. (Matthew 10:14-15, 23)
Muhammad ordered Muslims to attack any city that rejected Islam.
Jesus told his followers to get ready, because unbelievers would flog them, arrest them, and put them on trial (Matthew 10:16-19)
Muhammad told his followers to fight (militarily) hard against unbelievers.
"Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush..." Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29
Jesus washed his disciples' feet.
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. John 13:4-5, 12-17
One day after battle, Muhammad came back home and said to his daughter Fatima, "Wash the blood from this sword and I swear in the name of Allah this sword was obeying me all the time." Muhammad then took the swords of his friend Ali ibn Abu Talib and washed them for him.
Jesus never took up a sword or encouraged anyone else to do so. Once a close follower took it upon himself to take up a sword. Jesus soundly reprimanded him. Jesus warned; "all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52
My advice is beware of what lies just beyond the horizon. Learn and understand your surroundings because the minute you think this is going to go away, you will be sorely disappointed. This has been going on now for more than 1600 years and shows we are no closer to peace, we are being driven further apart.
