Let's Give The Muslims A Day Off

[Faith No More]

I don't believe in holding a person responsible for anyone else who later comes along and twists their words so as to justify opposing action. Maybe Jesus really did advocate a violent judgment on earth led by himself on his return (or resurrection, assuming the bodily reattachment to his soul was an idea perpetuated to keep the future "kingdom on earth" hope alive). But even so, that was prophesied in the context of a future event led by Jesus when he appeared again in the flesh (this should probably further indicate that he most definitely did not wander around on foot post-crucifixion). It may still be repulsive and horrifying but that's entirely different than Mohammad advocating violent revolution for the sake of Islam in his and then in each subsequent individual's lifetime.

Different, yes, but not entirely.  The consequences of both are violence in the name of a deity.  Let's not forget that when unfettered by secular humanistic values, Christianity was just as barbaric as Islam is today.  

Jesus can preach non-violence and empathy until his throat is sore, but when his plan is to come back and slaughter the unbelievers, it renders anything he had to say moot.
