Well said Keith.  Islam is a militaristic cult, not a religion in any civilized 
sense of the word.

I have been curious about this reference to Abrahamics.  Now I am stunned by 
Brine's seemingly confident statement "Christianity, Judaism and Islam are all 
based on the belief that Abraham is their ancestor".  The vast majority of 
Christians are gentiles and are not descendants of Abraham.  In fact, it is 
because of this very reason that Christ was needed to enable gentile Christians 
to be a part of the inheritance of the kingdom of God that was promised to the 
descendants of Abraham.  I attended 12 years of Catholic school, and I have 
participated in Bible studies with Christians of all denominations for many 
years and I have never been exposed to the teaching that my Christianity is 
based on a belief that Abraham is my ancestor.
