I think sometimes if Muslims spoke out against certain activities that ISIS or similar groups do, it would be quickly pointed out that Muhammad did the exact same activities during his life. The figure of Muhammad is unavoidable in Islam. Christians have a far easier time with a hippy like Jesus as their central figure.The Jesus character is a raving homicidal maniac. He likes to roast people.
John 15:6 (TLB) = "If anyone separates from me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned."
But there's a difference between Jesus saying "They will be burned." In a metaphor talking about what happens in the afterlife, and the instructions from Muhammad on how to crucify people, when to beat your wife, when to go to war and so on.
Jesus isn't saying "If they aren't Christian, I like to burn em".
There might be other verses where Jesus commands death to disbelievers or whatever but I don't read this as being evidence that Jesus likes to literally roast people.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
