    I thing, you are incorrect about Christians of New Testament True Christianity.
    There are no scriptures that sanction any violence in the New Testament of Christianity.

    • Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

      Hear, hear! I agree.
      Bawer is falling for that old argument of Mohammadians: the Bible is as violent as the Koran. The violence in the Old Testament is descriptive and historical in nature – it is not doctrinal instruction on how to behave. And the little violence there is in the New Testament clearly instructs Christians that violence is not their path. The violence in the Koran clearly enjoins the followers of Mohammad to engage in violence.
      Yes, the religions of Christianity and Judaism changed, evolved and reformed but Mohammadism is not reformable, never will be. (As you well know, a central tenet of Mohammadism is that Mohammad is the last prophet and his word is the last word. Therefore, any reinterpretation of the literal words of Mohammad is a big no-no.) As soon as you try to reform Mohammadism you begin the process of creating a whole new religion. The landscape of eastern religions is littered with Mohammadian spin-offs. Some consider themselves to still be Mohammadians and others no longer. A brief sampling: the Baha’i faith, the Ahmadis, the Druz, the Ismailis, the Alawites, etc.
      As a writer of several books on the subject, he should know this.

      true. as far as Leviticus, Deuteronomy etc, these books are taken as historical accounbts, much like a book about the civil war, French revolution or any other violent period. for instance, david slew goliath, it doesn’t mean we all have to kill tall people! haha. its a historical account! so sick and tired of people saying “but the bible is violent too”. so are your childs American history books at school, does not mean they’ll go killing southerners, or native americans!

    Bruce – I was enjoying your talk up until the 13:00 minute mark, when you began to show your total ignorance and disdain for Christianity. I would think that if you want to be an effective critic of Islam, you should have some understanding of other religions, and especially, the one most opposite to Islam. Once you began running down Christianity, you lost me, and I couldn’t even stay with you through your long commercial about your latest book which I will never buy.

    You stated “If we lived by the Bible we would all be killing each other. If you lived by everything in Leviticus and Romans and other places in the Bible, the Old and New testament would be mayhem but not even the most Bible believing Christians – Biblical literalists – are not really literalist, or there would be all kinds of people dead at their hands.They are not literalists.”

    You haven’t got a clue. Firstly, you should be aware that there is no religion called “the Bible”.The Bible is meaningless on its own. There is only “Christianity”. Christianity is the religion of Christ. Christians are followers of Christ, not “the Bible”. Now the New Testament does communicate the the teachings of Christ, and it is Christ’s teaching and example that Christians follow, but don’t mistake the media for the message.

    The Old Testament is a kind of baggage carried around along with the New Testament, something like the trunk in your attic that has pictures of your great grandmother and all manner of family heirlooms and relics of the past. The Old Testament is a collection of works, some derived from Jewish texts and some handed down by oral tradition through the centuries before Christ. Some gems of wisdom can be found there, the Ten Commandments can be found there, and all kinds of tales and legends can be found there. However, it only gains meaning through the teachings of Christ. It is only relevant where it serves to support those teachings. It has no relevance of its own accord.

    Finally, very, very briefly, here is some of the essence of Christianity that even an atheist or humanist might respect… Christ was a man of peace, love, compassion, and humility who told us to “Do unto others…” and “Love our neighbours” and to “Turn the other cheek” and to “Love our enemies”. Now does that sound like the nightmarish vision evoked by your “Biblical literalists” ? If such people as you describe exist, they do not derive their religion from Christ’s teachings. Rather, they are tortured, twisted souls who have invented some religion that does not exist.

    It is obvious that you are not a Christian, and I couldn’t care less if you are or not. I am not even sure I am. I am probably not. But I have read the Bible, and in particular, the teachings of Christ, and I wouldn’t even mention Christianity and Islam in the same sentences. It is like white and black, day and night, even good and evil. I would suggest you simply learn a bit about Christianity. Stop disparaging it in attempt to show it is better than Islam “even at it’s worst”. Christianity doesn’t have a “worst”. It has a beautiful message of love and peace and redemption.

    I think you might get along great with our friend Ibrahim Itace, a Muslim apologist who comments here and who is fond of employing the expression “Filthy misanthropist Christians”. His view of Christians coincides with your ” Biblical literalists”.

      I agree with you completely.

    I’ve read Bruce Bawer’s While Europe Slept and also his Surrender. Bruce Bawer is on my top three list of writers on the Islam problem.

    I may disagree with you, Bruce, on Christianity, but I look forward to reading your novel from Amazon.

    Please create a kindle edition (or maybe pay someone to do it if you don’t want to).

    This guy goes on again about a Reformation. This notion is false on two counts. The Protestant Reformation was an unremitting disaster. It had nothing to do with “freedom”. Luther rejected free will. He wrote a book called De servo arbitrio, in which he considers free will as enslaving. He himself realizes the disaster he ha caused later in his life. Besides, it was the Protestant Reformation that provoked the religious wars, which had their parting shot with the burning of 80 churches in Holland. Clavin was such a wonderful supporter of freedom that he had as many as 500 people killed for disagreeing with him in his Geneva theocracy. Protestantism was an effort to return to what the reformers imagined was the pristine period of Christianity, and which was lost at some time, according to some at the time of Constantine, and others even earlier. Islamic reform movements have been exactly that, an effort to return to the glorious early days of Islam under Mahommed and the four “Rightly Guided Caliph”, three of whom met a violent death at the hands of other Muslims.

    I wish those who go on about the need for Islam to have a Reformation like the Protestant one. I wish they studied a bit of history and realized that the Protestant Reformation was quintessentially intolerant and violent, and had nothing to do with freedom.

    Billybob, i can agree with you that true jesus has nothing to do with an evil book called the bible now in possession of mithraist christians.Ithe true teaching of jesus is lost ,cannot be found in an authentic document.true jesus has all virtures you mentioned as accurately recorded in the Quran.He was free from the filths atributed to him in the evil bible,like claim that he was God himelf or one of the three persons equal to one god,all inspired by the satan.Billybob,then use Quranic version about jesus to practice your christianity with certainty.

    • billybob says

      What makes you so sure you can believe what is written in the Quran, Ibrahim? It plagiarized many Jewish texts, and even gets them wrong. It certainly gets Jesus wrong. We have many texts about the life of Jesus. It is well documented, not long after his death. The Quran is wrong about Jesus. In fact, the Quran is wrong about many things, and contradicts itself in many places. What about all the verses the goat ate?

      You see in my comment above where I wrote “I am not even sure I am [a Christian]. I am probably not.” I am demonstrating that I cannot be certain about events that supposedly took place over 2000 years ago. That is because I am a critical thinker. I am not brainwashed. You, on the other hand, believe everything you were told, don’t you?

        Don’t be distracted, billybob, by the Mohammadian troll. I don’t even bother to read his posts anymore. (It gives me more time to read well informed, sensible posts like yours.)
