When criticism is levied against ANY religious sect, to remain fair & unbiased, it is necessary to consult the source of a group’s convictions. Islam's source is the Qur'an (Koran). Judaeo- Christianity's source is the Bible. Divisions exist among & within all groups over proper interpretation of their sacred texts.

However, an important distinction between the teachings of the Bible & the Qur'an is how believers are taught to deal with opposition. Jesus said, “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who spitefully use you & persecute you” – Mt. 5:44. Muhammad said, “"O you who believe, fight the unbelievers near you & let them see how harsh you can be” - Surah 9:123 (Qur'an). Jesus promoted love & healing & died for us. Muhammad led 30,000 to kill Christians & Jews. There is nothing altruistic about Muhammad’s death. Is radical Islam a legitimate threat or wrongly accused?
