Course it doesn't make much difference, its likely taken totally out of context.

How is it taken out of context?

I said it probably is, who cares- look at the rest of the stuff the book says.

Islam is a submittion to the will of Allah, and it does not recognize any other religion.

Remember - La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah

There is NO God But Allah, Muhammad is his messenger.

I realized that, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have an opinion on something. I don't recognize Buddhism, for example, as a religion that will save you in the end, but that being said, I do see a lot of beautiful and sublime truths being taught in it.

There was another post I was thinking about replying to, but in the end... Not worth it.

Because Buddhists don't subscribe to the concept of being saved.

No he doesn't recognise them as a religion that will save them, regardless of their beliefs.

Bingo, although I disagree with the people who say that such people are automatically going to hell too.

That is because there is nothing to be saved from.

No, that isn't why.

He believes there is something to be saved from and believes that if you don't follow his God then nothing can save you, regardless of whether you acknowledge the need to be saved or not.

Death?

Besides, that statement referred to my beliefs, not those of buddhism. Assuming there is something to be saved from, Buddhism isn't gonna cut it.

Although it'll get you a lot closer than some other ways of life I could think of.

So, if a person believes there is a monster in my closet, should I not get dressed?

No, because there probably isn't.

However, he still believes its there regardless.

Then he is the one who needs to be saved from him own fears.

That may be so, but that doesn't make your original statement any more relevant.

Which he's already done by deciding to be Christian.

I have to admit, if that works for him, then I am gratefully happy.

Obama's school was very Islamic, yet they tolerated non-muslims, is this contradictory to the "kill the infidels" doctrine? And if so, why advocate it?

I think we can both agree that truth is truth no matter what one believes. Finding out what that truth is - that is probably the most important question. i suppose there's only 2 ways to know for sure - and we'll have to wait a while for the more likely of them - death.

You can wait for death, if you wish, but I have plans for life.
