Jihad in the West - The Holy War that Isn't P11

Jihad in the West  by Paul Fregosi
Introduction: The Holy War That Isn't
Paragraph 11

"The sword is the key to Heaven and Hell" Muhammad told his followers. 600 years earlier, Christ had said, "He who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword." Muslims who kill are following the commands of Muhammad, but Christians who kill - and there are many - are ignoring the words of Christ. Therein perhaps lies one of the basic philosophical differences, as well as one of the ethical differences, between Islam and Christianity.
