Quote:He's left you with a divided nation. Muslims can't stop the violence against each other. Your system is totally unstable and you say I'm arrogant.
The prophet Mohammad left us with a clear and glorius message which lead to a Muslim Empire that stretches from Spain to India. Curiously enough, our greatest scientists were during the Muslim Empire:

No country in the modern world follows the Islamic Shariah (laws), so what we have now is not what the prophet Mohammad gave us. That's for one. Secondly, violence is everywhere. Two world wars were started by Europe, not to mention the bloody crusades where not only Muslims and Jews, but also Christians were slaughtered and Byzentine pillaged by the crusaders. But then again, not even I would blame Christians for these tragidies, because I know that human nature is something, and a divine book is something else. You want to judge Islam, get the Qoran and Sunnah and start judging from there. Dont use me nor any other Muslim to judge a Islam.
You want physical proof, our Islamic Empire is enough proof of a pure Islamic nation that was full of glory.
Quote:Tell me by what works are you saved? (and go to heaven.) Follow Allah as stated in the Quran? Thousands of suicide bombers think they will go to heaven because of the Quran.
Same reply as above.
Quote:Christ taught that it is by faith alone that we are saved.quote]
Indeed. According to Christianity, it matters very little if the sinner is punished for his crimes because God loves His followers so much that He would look over justice and let them all into Heaven. "Believe what I say or burn in hell. Trust in me, say "Yes I believe", do it now or burn in hell." That's all what matters.
Now according to Islam, even a Muslim with faith in Allah will burn in hell if he commits crimes and sins. Now that is what I would call, Justice.
