Right Skybird, this has been the Papal intention all along - remaking Catholicism into Islam. :rotfl:

Handing death to man as a penalty for example is left to God in Chrsitian faith.

Are you for real? That doesn't reconcile itself very well with the history of capital punishment in Christian societies where, up until recently, it was widespread. EDIT:
It also doesn't conform with what is said in the Bible; Christian supporters of Capital Punishment can reconcile this support with these 2 passages:
“Who so sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man”
Genesis 9:6
“For he is the minister of God [the magistrate] to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil”
Romans 13:4

If someone says the Chrisztian and the Islamic God are one and the same, he does not know what he is talking of and may want to read one or two according books on the matter.

They are one and the same.
