“In any case, I just have two comments on your post Why Can’t Muslims debate.
“‘Muslims are the first immigrant group ever to come to a new country with a ready-made societal model that many believe it is their divine duty to work to implement’
“Actually, the Pilgrims had a pretty solid plan of implementing their version of the Kingdom of God on American soil. A fact for which we, America and Canada, are still working off of that wonderful capital of social culture they planted over 300 years ago. Unfortunately, that capital is being exhausted today with nothing solid to replace it; hence, our inability to figure out how to handle a group of people without that very same foundation.
“‘Note too the story he tells about Mohammed. He ordered a woman to be stoned to death for committing adultery. We all know what Jesus did in the same situation. That difference alone proves Christianity’s superiority to Islam.’
“Actually, the Muslim — again because he is not working off of that same foundational culture of the Pilgrims — would say that statement proves the superiority of Islam over Christianity. Forgiveness on that order — especially of women — is an affront to their God; not a part of His nature. For them, it is a sign of weakness to put Life above Law; Mercy before Justice; and forgiveness before revenge.
