Muslims and Chritians: Can't we all just get along?

            Moron Air Base, where I am currently stationed in southern Spain was once a bloody battle field. From 718 AD until 1492 AD Catholics from Europe and the Moores (Muslims) from Africa battled over this beautiful country. This series of battles was called The Recon quest. When the Christians won a battle they would burn the existing mosques and build cathedrals. Similarly when the Muslims won they would burn the cathedrals and build mosques. If we fast forward to present day it seems very little has changed. The Middle East is in turmoil and terrorist attacks like September 11th, 2001 are performed in the name of Islam. Asama Bin Laden has declared holy war on America. Looking at the past and present it is hard to imagine that these religions could have much in common or even be able coexist but this paper will show that Islam is rooted in peace and has many ideals in common with Christianity. These religions can work together to better society.
             Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that He is the one way to God and salvation. He is the son of God and part of the Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. According to Breuilly, Brien, and Palmer, "Christians believe that he is God, or "the Son of God," who chose to take on human form in order to reconcile humanity to God, and to restore the relationship that had been broken by human disobedience." (43).
             Christians study the Bible which they believe to be the direct word from God. Breuilly, Brien, and Palmer state, "It is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The word testament means "witness," and Christians believe that the Old Testament contains the witness of God originally to the Jews, and the New Testament the witness of people who knew Jesus or were closely associated with events in the early church." (46) The Bible is the guide book for the Christian. Because they believe it is the perfect word of God and it states that Jesus is the son of God, Christians believe their religion is right and all others are wrong.
