Hilmar,
>>I think that there are many fine individuals who are members of the Islam faith. However, it really isn't as peaceful or harmless a faith as some would want you to believe. Look at the 1400 years of its history. It's factionalized and there are many sects that hate each other and so forth. Not very pretty I suppose.

Actually, see my reply to Chris where I sort of explained this.

Jesus rose from the dead. Mohammed did not. Pretty straightforward.
