    That’s just sad. every body should respect the religion of other people. I think most of the Muslims believe in are the same as the Christians believe in too.. so why argue about it?

  2. Ruby Martin Says:

    The Muslim faith is NOT the same as Christian belief in one God. Ok, if is the same let’s go pray in a Muslin country. In public, at their National capitol. Wouldn’t happen, at all.

  3. Wahsh Says:

    Actually, you are incorrect. I know that United Arab Emirates is a Muslim country; however they allow Christian,Jews,Hindus, and Buddhists to practice their faith and even inside UAE airport they have prayer rooms for people of all faiths. Remember, today was a day of prayer and Muslim do believe in ONE GOD, and please verify everything I am writing.

  4. Brent Witten Says:

    While both religions do profess a belief in one God, Christians believe in a Trinitarian God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). Also, Muslims see Jesus as just a prophet, not God in the flesh. Furthermore, to say that the United States is a Christian nation is to acknowledge that its founding principles issue forth from the Christian faith. There is not one tenet of the Muslim faith that one can quote that is a founding principle of this country. To Caitlin: to say that all religions teach the same ideas about who God is and his character is to show gross negligence in having studied any of them with any seriousness. I would challenge you to do an honest examination of various religions before making such a vacuous claim.
