Not All "Religions" The Same In Positives

All “religions” or ideologies claiming to be “religions” or those which share the true believers common to many Faiths are NOT the same!

The Aztecs had the “religious” custom of tearing the skin off of young girls and ripping the hearts out of thousands each year as a form of communicating with their gods. [Perhaps, this is why so many of their neighbors joined the Spanish in destroying that “civilization”.]

The worshipers of Ba'al threw their infant children into their god Moloch's furnace to be burnt alive as offerings.

The Thuggee worshipers of the Hindu goddess Kali went about the Indian countryside murdering strangers as an act of worship [And retaining such valuables as they could so acquire as their earthly reward for such “devotions”.]

Even Christianity has its cancerous outgrowths in such movements as: The Spanish Inquisition [Which largely operated in violation of the directives from the Pope}; The English Protestant Church, which may have murdered more Catholics than did the followers of the Pope; Both Catholic and Protestant lunatics who burnt others as “witches”; Those misguided crusaders who killed members of the Orthodox churches because they were not of the Latin Rite AND whose traditional massacre of many in Jerusalem most certainly was not “Christian” in execution---Although customary for the in-taking of cities in that age; And, of course, the followers of Jim Jones who murdered a Congressman and then each other in a cyanide drinking orgy of self-destruction.

We should not forget the Imperial Way of Japan (1934-1945), the Neo-Paganism of Nazi Germany or the Secular/Atheist massacres of Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao---All of which yielded millions of deaths and misery beyond comprehension—These to demonstrate that secular ideologies have their “true believers” willing to murder others not of their full “Faith”.

Yet---For the last 1400 years one “religion” (I prefer the term “ideology”) may have caused more deaths and did-and-is providing more misery than any and perhaps all of the above in its worship of the false-gods of murder, revenge, rape, robbery, destruction of real cultures and superior ideologies and just plain genocide. That ideology is, of course, that which claims to be a religion and is named “Islam”--Which will not change until the vast (99%-plus) of Muslims totally and forever reject the horrid teachings of the Koran [Which is unlikely as they believe that document was dictated by the Creator].

Anyone who states “Islam is a religion of peace” is either grossly misinformed OR is a liar of the first magnitude. Anyone who claims “All religions are the same” is equally either grossly ignorant or a gross liar. In both cases history proves them wrong. As to Islam, current events do the same.
