If you are interested, a brief comparison of Jesus and Muhammad can be read by clicking here. Article is by William Federer, historian and author of all kinds of interesting stuff. His website is http://www.americanminute.com/ if you're interested in putting current events in a historical context.
The reason I posted this is because it seems that among all the other issues we think about (as a nation), we are also in the middle of debating whether or not to trust Muslims as a whole. Islam is sometimes said to be a religion of peace, but the facts about this religion are not so convenient. Of course there are exceptions, such as the thus-far peaceful Green movement in Iran currently engaged in what appears to me to be a remarkable act of civil disobedience and bravery.
Judge for yourself about Islam. If you decide that trust in Islam is misplaced, that is your right. But remember that Christianity does not promote the spread of violence or persecution. It is possible that Muslims are a brainwashed people. It would seem this presents an enormous opportunity for spreading the love of Christ, albeit a potentially dangerous one.
