A CONTRADICTION IN LOGIC
Contrary to reason, the world hates a Fundamentalist Christian more than it hates a Fundamentalist Muslim.
What Is A Fundamentalist
By, "Fundamentalist" (not to be confused with the theological branch of Christianity called, "Fundamentalism"), concerning the Christian and the Muslim, I am referring to...
the person who emulates the person of either Jesus Christ or Mohammad,
the person who adores either Jesus Christ or Mohammad,
the person who follows the teachings and example of either Jesus Christ or Mohammad,
the person who full heartedly believes and follows the writings of either the Holy Bible or the Koran.
CONTRADISTINCTION BETWEEN RELIGION AND SALVATION
There is a difference however. It is not the emulating, adoration, following, or intellectual and emotional belief in these two leaders or the observance of the writings of both these religions that imparts Divine nature and bestows eternal salvation. New life and godly living are dependent on a personal and life changing encounter with the true God of the universe.
SPIRITUAL QUALIFIER
It is possible for a person to be a Christian outwardly, but not be one inwardly, because being a Christian is the result of Divine and miraculous work of God in the believer in response to faith in the Jesus Christ of the New Testament.
It is not possible for a person to be a Muslim, to any degree, and be in a right relationship with God, since they have denied the only One Who can grant them a right relationship with God.
SPIRITUAL QUALITIES
A fundamentalist Christian (a Bible believing, Christ adoring and following disciple of Jesus Christ), is ruled by love; lives a life of self denial, which is motivated by selfless love; disdains all violence and oppression. This is the outward and social expression of Fundamental Christianity.
A fundamentalist Muslim ( someone who submits to the teachings of the Koran and follows the example of Mohammad) is ruled by power and authority, which is not tempered or mixed with love; lives a life of forced, obligatory but inconsistent regulation; embraces violence and oppression as a tool in establishing an Islamic world government. This is the outward and social expression of Fundamental Islam.
