You must also remember friends, that Muhammad never claimed to have been dictated the koran by GOD - but by the angel gabriel.

I believe that Muhammad took bits of christianity and mish-mashed it with the positive points of the pagan religion of those days and started a new religion. Who is to truly say that he did not have a vision of a fallen astral being?

In every religion i can think of, i can think of at least one great saint who exemplified it's ideals and brought souls to God.

Christianity - Jesus
Hinduism - Krishna
Buddhism - Buddha Swami
Sikhism - Nanak Devji

See?

All religions teach self-restraint, respect, peace and love. Islam teaches hate and anger and sensory pleasure.

Yoganandaji famously commented [and i paraphrase from memory]:

"The God of some religions is alien to me! I could never bow to a God who i had to fear"

Islam profoundly teaches fear of God. All the vast number of muslims i know are TERRIFIED of Allah punishing them and burning them in the fires of hell. Most of us on the other hand are scared only of ourselves.

How could God ever suffer the dual scales of human emotion such as anger?!! I thought God was supposed to be all-loving and all-forgiving. That's what i believe anyway.

I love God and choose to follow Him and become one with Him because that is the only way i'll be happy. Muslims choose to PLEASE God by killing non-muslims so that God can bestow upon them beautiful virgins.

How many muslim saints can you name apart from those who followed hindu yogis?

Name me one who lived in the last 1400 years. You can't.
