- Muslims do not believe in original sin. They believe that we were all born with the inclination to do good and seek God. Therefore there is no need for "salvation" in Islam, it is a religion of submission. (Islam literally translated means, you guessed it...submission).
- Whereas the problem in Christianity is sin, the one in Islam is self-sufficiency. Muslims believe the biggest mistake humans can make is to believe they can get along without God.
- The Koran promises hell to those who kill themselves or other Muslims.
- Hundreds of Muslims died in the twin towers attacks, by guys who killed themselves. Rest assured, they are being "taken care of" and it ain't by virgins.
- Muslims believe that God is neither male nor female, although He is referred to as "He" when a pronoun must be used.
- Muslims believe that the Koran is the Verbatim word of God. Muhammad did not write it but received it from an angel who received it from God. It is only sacred in Arabic because that's the language it was received in.
- Hell and Paradise are described far more times in the Koran than the Bible. It can get pretty fire and brimston-y at times.
-Abraham, Adam, Cain and Abel, David and Goliath, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob, Jesus, John the Baptist, Jonah, Joseph and Mary, Moses, Noah, Pharaoh, Satan, Saul, and Zachariah all appear in the Koran.
