>But I don't really think Islam is the "religion of peace" that many claim it to be. It could be if Muslim theologians made a strong case for it, but so far I haven't really seen one.

No religions are "religions of peace." There are people of peace, and there are people who aren't so peaceful. There are some of each in every religion (and lack of one).

re: What about war? Can you be pro-war and be a Christian?
----------------
No one ever likes war. Those who create it for selfish reasons will meet their maker and face judgement.


That wasn't the question.

You said that you can't be a Christian if you are prejudiced and hateful. Some would say that war is the ultimate expression of prejudice and hate. And certainly something Jesus preached against.

Can you support war and still be a Christian?
