So you se little or no difference between the Christian and Muslim religions????

@Serg97 There's obviously differences, though both are seated in the Abrahamic tradition from Judaism. I mean there's not much difference in the religious fervour of either. Muslims are just doing what they truly believe is right, just like Christians banning abortions in Texas.

@Serg97 Yes, I think that's because Christianity has had more time to dilute and diverge, while Islam is several centuries younger. Modern Christianity has become a smorgasbord religion, with so many vastly different denominations and sects within it. It's turned into a kind of choose-your-own faith, and I think that's largely a reflection of the Bible being comprised of so many different books, which often conflict with each other and orthodox doctrine. The Qur'an on the other hand is a single book, written by a single man, with far less internal inconsistencies. Also Christianity has been translated into most of the world's languages, with each adopting elements of their target cultures, while Islam is still strictly seated in Arabic, with all prayers globally by Muslims spoken in Arabic.

@Serg97 Also it was only a century or so ago that mainstream Christianity slowly stopped promoting the abuse of women. If you look at 19th century church writings, they blatantly subjugate women, and men were allowed to beat their wives.

@Satch Interesting, if my dad was still alive he would be pushing 120 yoa!!!!
I do not recall any of his friends or associates beating their wives, in fact if one of them had beat their wife the others would have returned the beating!!!!!

@Serg97 A lot of that is more a reflection of regional culture than of religion itself. You can see the same in Islam, with some countries allowing far more freedoms for women than Saudi Arabia or Iran. In either case though, the religious texts themselves do not condemn such abuse, and historically church leaders have tendered to allow it until relatively recently.

It certainly appears that way.

Why would they do that, who would take care of them if they took out D.C.?????
OH, YA, CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Traitor.

@JacksonNought DC is not even part of the USA, it is a city state like the Vatican

I repeat: traitor.
