Christianity versus Islam. Peace versus power. Jesus versus Muhammad. The Christian pillar. Jesus established a kingdom not of this world rooted in transformative love even for those who wish us harm. Matthew 5 verse 44. What I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5 verses 8 to 9. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. The Islamic pillar. In contrast, the foundation of the text of Islam often linked divine victory to physical force and the installation of fear. Sahih al-Bakari, volume 4, book 52 Hadith 220. Muhammad stated, "I have been made victorious with Tever." The Quran. Surah at Tabah 9 verse 73. "O Prophet, strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be firm against them." The standard of sanctity. Marriage and women. The Christian pillar. Jesus restored the Eden idea of monogamy and raised the bar for internal purity, equating the lustful look with the act of adultery. Matthew 19 verses 5 to 6. For this reason, a man shall lead his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two shall become one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. Matthew 5 verse 28. But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. The Islamic pillar. Islamic tradition permits polygamy and provide specific allowances for captains of war, which creates a different moral framework for sexuality. The Quran. Surah on Nisa for verse 3. Marry women of your choice. 2 or 3 or 4. But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only one. The Quran. Surah on Nisa for verse 24. This verse permits sexual relations with married women if they are those whom your right hands possess or captives of war. Sahih al Bukhari volume 7. Book 62 Hadith 64. Narrated by Aisha that the prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years
