Hi Pen;
Yes, you have this right. Jesus taught a message of love, tolerance, and understanding. It differed from the laws of the Torah set in the Old Testament because of several things, but mainly because Jesus was here to die for us, so that even the Gentiles would be true children of God. There's a major clue in that which has never been properly understood, although I think I have an idea.
As far as Muhammad is concerned, Jesus told us that we were all Children of God. Not God's slaves. I believe that Muhammad took a religion that is based on love and peace, then created a warrior's version. His subsequent actions should be proof enough. Is this any different from the way Charlemagne spread Christianity at the point of a sword? I believe there is a major difference. Charlemagne had a goal of eventual peace, while Muhammad had a goal of subjugation that, due to its parameters, can never be achieved. In short, it's a design for eternal Jihad.
Almost everybody misses something about Christianity that makes it unique among religions until it is pointed out to them. Not only does it not require sacrifice, gifts for God, and idols/images for use in worship, it forbids them. If you read carefully, it sounds as if even worship is optional. It's important to put no gods before God, but as long as you elevate no deities above God, and follow a set of rules in life that are extremely easy to follow, you should be fine. Basically, it's life by the Golden Rule, which is only right. There is even one line which sounds like God wants no churches built, outside the temple you create in yourself.
Does it not sound like a religion meant to remove the burden that comes with so many religions? To me it does. Which makes me wonder where these people come up with the idea that you have to do it their way, or burn in hell. They sound like wanna be tin gods to me. But I'm only human. I could be wrong.
Still, I remain convinced that the Christian Bible is little more than a book of love. People like that fellow in Africa scare me.
