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?

Uh, yes, actually. Or something very like it. Considering hundreds
of years of persecution against Jews and Muslims and Pagans I'd guess
that the death toll caused by "Christians" far exceeds anything done
thus far by any other religion.

Your *guess* is pretty far off the mark, there Ray.
The atheists of Czarist Russia murdered an estimated
20-30 million people in the last century. The nazi's
of WW2 Germany murdered some 6 million. Do you have
any figures for those killed in the several Islamic
wars, the Spanish Inquisition, or perhaps the Irish
conflicts of recent history? I do not have a cite,
but recall the numbers in the hundreds and the thousands,
not the millions... Try again.

Ummm. The 'atheists of Czarist Russia'? I suggest you study a bit
more history.

Yes, the Nazi's murdered lots of people, and were proud of the motto
on the SS belt buckles.
