“Tynan:
Islam isn’t necessarily incompatible with democracy, and more than Christianity.”
Absolute bunk, junk & crap, aside from the fact that your statement is incomprehensible. I get it that it’s some sort of apologia for Islam, but you apparently slept late for an entire semester and missed your classes in both Logic and Exposition.
“If you actually read the Bible, there are many very warlike and cruel instructions which modern Christian civilization is content to ignore, while still being Christian.”
Apparently the next time you read the New Testament will be the first time (it’s the ‘Christian’ part of the Bible). I suggest you start with the Old Testament (perhaps you just looked at the pictures?) and work your way forward. Compare/contrast. Begin. We’ll let you know when to put the pencil down.
As for whether one or the other is more suitable for democracy, the implementation of Sharia slams the deomcratic door shut, despite what you think you’re seeing in Iran and Gaza/West Bank.
