But again, I say that it is not the Faith that is at fault but those who would abuse that Faith. While you may be able to get rid of God, you would still not get rid of the violence that "Man" is responsible for. We would just find a different reason to fight each other.

Of course it's the Faith that is at fault. Islam teaches, over and Over and OVER, to KILL THE INFIDEL, lie to him, betray him, wait for him in ambush wherever you see him, chop off his fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, ears, tongues, heads, etc., etc., etc.!!! Would you call that a faultless faith??? Only if you are a Muzzle-em!!!

In stark contrast the Christian Bible teaches The Ten Commandments and love and forgiveness!!!

I really don't want to be in the position to defend Islam, so let me say this:

Christianity had many of these same problems but also had the benefit of a Reformation and reality check. While I am not an expert on the Bible, I've seen others take quotes from certain versus and interpret them to fit their own political agendas. Chistianity had its own version of Sharia, were the Church was as much a part of governance as anything...and used that influence over soverign nations.

That's not to mitigate what Islam is or has done, it is however to show how Man can pervert anything for his own political purposes. The persecutions of heretics, the Enquisitions and killing of Jews or he burning of Witches was no better than what Islam believes, now. If it was a threat to those in power...be it the Pope or the Iman, these people used that religion to justify their violence on others. It is still Man that has used that Faith for his own ends.

By the way...you make my point with this comment:

"In stark contrast the Christian Bible teaches The Ten Commandments and love and forgiveness!!!"

So who was it that perverted these concepts when people were being burned at the stakes? Perhaps Man?
