Is Islam just a rival theology of Christianity?

submitted by BlueFrost from self.Islam

There are a lot of differences between the two groups, but there are similarities too, at least on surface level. Both theologies decry degeneracy like LGBT and "immoral" dress and Islam is even more reactionary and strict than it's mainstream Christian counterpart.

As a matter of fact I believe that if everyone followed original Christianity very literally, that it would be no better, perhaps only minus the barbaric violent punishment aspect. I honestly believe Islam and Christian theology have overlapping motives, but the methods are different.

I'm not saying this to be anti-Western or anti-Christianity either. "Nominal" Christianity has done good for advancing the West. But what are your opinions?

Islam needs a reformation comparable to the Christian reformation. Right now Islam is in a medieval stage. Like in the Christian dark age, today's Muslims are just too stupid to actually implement morals of any kind, regardless of what the religion itself says. For example Muslims overwhelming support the covid insanity and generally side with the left. All this is a product of stupidity.

Might not the reason Muslims side with the left/establishment is that it allows them to have six children per family whereas everyone else has one child per family and so in 50 years they can dispense with the leftist BS and start throwing weirdos off buildings - or so they think?

I think Hanlon's razor applies here. Also, traditional Anabaptists have many children without siding with the left/establishment.

it's probably not just having kids but they support the left cuz the left lets them immigrate to their countries which are way better than the desert

Probably also true. And soon the West will be worse than the desert and these stupid Muslims will feel Allah's justice.

allah wants them to spread their religion so that is another reason they want to immigrate to the west, besides the west just being better
