The difference between Judeo-Cristianity and Islam, is
really a simple one, but quite profound. Christians
are saved by faith, and their discipline comes from
within themselves, while Moslems are saved by their
works, and their discipline comes from without/others.


Uh, do those "works" include slitting the throats of flight attendants
and ramming jet airliners into skyscrapers? Uh, no, you say? Then why
can we count on less than two fingers the Islamic organizations which
have officially gone on record as condemning this, or any other, act
of terrorism?


This smells like something you just made up.

Do you know what a fatwah is? Can you name any other modern religion
which issues official orders to murder and maim people?


What do you mean by 'modern'? One could bring up Dominic and the
Albigensians. Or the Inquisition. Or Jonestown. Or Paul Hill.
