If they are just as great as any other religion including christianity, why do they lead to radicalism? terrorism? the killing of innocent people with insane violence?.
Radical terrorist Buddhists? Hindus? Sikhs? Animists? Shinto? Chinese Traditional? Rastafarians? (especially Rastafarians ).
However, radical terrorist Christians are well known.
Your premise is false.

So are you admitting there is no standard of morality?
No. Many people beleive there is no absolute standard of morality in a book, but that does not mean no morality.
Because we are just another biological animal?. Then you must live consistent with your belief that there is no right or wrong.
Not believing the Bible, or not believing any religion at all, is not the same as believing there is no right or wrong. Many people derive moral principles from their own internal feelings and respect for others. and, as we have seen, some people drive immoral principles from the Bible, the Q'uran, or any other religious book or principle.
Sorry, there's no "Get out of Hell free" card. You need to find morality and respect for others from within or you're just putting on a false face.

Radical Muslims however seem to be following Islam to a tee.
No i have not studied it {the Q'uran - JRF}.
So, you know nothing about Islam but you say that "Radical Muslims however seem to be following Islam to a tee". What a pathetic, bigoted, immoral, gullible fool you are. You are certainly not a folower of Christ.

What i mean is that all i see on T.V are muslims killing themselves & others in the name of Allah.
And, of course, what you see today on TV is all that counts. What you don't see doesn't exist, what happened last year doesn't count, nothing means anything but your biased perceptions of here and now. Pitiful.
What about Northern Ireland? Catholics and Protestans blew each other up, slaughtered little children, carried out countless atrocities, for decades ...and both sides did it in the name of the Christian God. But it means nothing to you because you don't see it on TV today. Pitiful.

Re: ?????????????
Oops, I stand corrected you are right. Dont forget the evolutionists who hacked up Aboriginies to send to England as missing links!.
What!? Where did you get this from?
Where else? Answers in Geneses. Darwin's Bodysnatchers. Of courese, Almeyda swallows evcerything from AIG so quickly that he doesn't think at all ...
quote:
In a previous Creation magazine we related evidence that perhaps 10,000 dead bodies of Australia's Aboriginal people were shipped to British museums in a frenzied attempt to prove the widespread belief that they were the 'missing link'
{emphasis added}
Note that the "perhaps" allows them to publish unsupported allegations and fool the gullible. Of course, to Almeyda "perhaps" means "definitely".
The article goes on to draw almost exclusively from an article in The Bulletin, an Australian newsmagazine somwhat akin to Time or Newsweek. Possibly but necessarily a trustworthy source.
The allegations may or may not be true; AIG obviously isn't interested in finding out, since the propaganda value of their suppositions is much more interesting to them than the truth. It seems liklely to me that the stories are tremendously overblown but based on a few real incidents. Nonetheless, whether or not the incidents occurred, they are not linked in any credible way to the theory of evolution, and they are on a par with the things done in the name of one God or another and already mentioned in this thread. Evil people do evil things under whatever banner suits them, and that includes the Bible.
