The religious similarities between Christianity and Islam are striking, I feel.
The basis of Islamic belief is "There is no god but The God and Muhammad is the messenger of God." Sounds familiar.
Muslims believe that God revealed his direct word for mankind to Muhammad and other prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. And WHO? Jesus? What the hell, he's one of ours!
Muslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to mankind since Adam, with the Qur'an codifying the final revelation of God.

See, as a religion, its more or less the same as Judaism or Christianity - hell they're all based on the same thing!

The reason Judaism and Islam are so similar is because after Cain killed Able, Cain moved away from his birthplace. Cain is the man who started what is now known as the Muslim community. He was mad at God because God rejected his sacrifice and accepted his brothers sacrifice of fruits and vegtables.

If you look at what has happened in our own country of America with David Karesch, Jim Jones, The Hale Bop comminty, these people were following extremists in their own right. They were brainwashed into believing what there leader was saying was the truth.

If just one man has that much power to manipulate so many people into believing what he has to say is the truth and there is no one able to or are afraid to voice their opinion, you get people willing to do anything that is asked of them, no matter what the consquences are.

Most of the people that are targeted are the people who are poor and uneducated, not saying all, but most are, and when you throw in the martyr part of it, you have hooked them. They get their 15 minutes of fame, but don't get to share the glory of that fame.

Most of the leaders who lead these extremist groups are very rich and educated, look at bin Laden, heir to the Saudi throne, educated in the US, and yet you don't see him blowing himself up as a martyr, now do you? He has learned how to manipulate people to get them to do his bidding. How you may ask? He has the means and the education. He understands what his fellow muslims want and he tries to fullfill them, right or wrong.

At least this is my opinion.
