The true question should be which religion will bring the most human happiness in the end. I have questions about Islam, the way it links its temporal law to an unchagable scripture and the way it seems to require its followers to wear Arabic clothing but arguing over the religion itself seems next to useless. The two religion are closley linked and most Christian/Islamic conflict I'm convinced is ethnic in its roots.
I must disagree. While they do show many similarities the key is in this: Christianity teaches a triune God. It also teaches that Jesus died and rose for our sins and that only through grace can we be saved. This is the cornerstone of our faith. When the cornerstones are different, the faiths are not the same.
