Recently, top Muslim clerics declared that Christians and Muslims must unite as brothers to avoid total destruction of the world. This declaration was a strong message to any Muslim or Christian that believes the two beliefs are at war with each other.
Many extremist Muslims believe that if you do not convert to Islam, you will go to hell. Many Christian extremists say the same thing. The problem with this statement is that there is no true point at which one can be declared a Muslim or a Christian. In other words, how many masses must one attend before he can be called a Christian? Or, must one read the Koran so many times before he is a true Muslim? What must you say to be considered a Muslim? What if you are blind and cannot read or what if you are deaf and cannot hear? Can these people be converted? How much time do they have?
You see, no one is free of sin and therefor, they are never anything. You can be a Muslim or a Christian and make the same mistakes, or you can be neither and make no mistakes.
Islam and Christianity are religions founded by profits. However, Jesus and Mohamed would not hate or try to kill each other. They would not be enemies, but friends. They would work and study together to understand God and this is what man must do today.
Many people say Islam is a peaceful religion. How can Islam be about peace if those who follow Islam say they are at war with you if you are not Muslim? They will never have peace if that is what they believe. They will always be in a state of war and war is hell. Who is going to hell if they are already there?
