Re: IT'S STRANGE
In relation to christianity, yes it does seem like the better religion. Christianity is based on molding its image to convert as many people possible in a "Believe in god or you will be damned in hell when you die" way, and getting rid of any other religion on the way. The Jewish faith, the one in Israel at least, is based round populating that area and moving its borders when it feels like it. So yes, when comparing Islam, Christianity and Judaism, Islam looks like the best.

Re: IT'S STRANGE
As a Christian (and shame on you for percieving us as a hellfire religion, the general idea of Christianity is to love others and show forgiveness) I think that Muslims are fine. Islam, like Christianity, shares the same cardinal rule: Do unto others as you would unto you, and denounces war and violent behaviour.
However, Muslims are misunderstood. Jihad is to place spiritual energy to strive towards a goal, personal of community orientated. Not, as I used to think (and many do), a Holy War. Islam's image (an image that SHOULD be fine) is in my opinion being spoiled by zealots and those that use their religion as an excuse to commit antisocial behaviour. Christianity's image is spoilt in a similar manner.
Sadly, religion has a tendency to become something for people to twist for political gain. Early Christians believed killing was wrong, but Pope Gregory the Great buggered this up by using Christianity to retake the city of Jerusalem, thus started the shameful little bloodbath historians call the Crusades.
Islam and Muslims are fine. I respect the religion, even if I don't follow it, and I think it's a shame that they are so misunderstood.
