Austria, WTF?

[JurisDictum]

Christianity was founded in Rome, where law and order was established and Jesus was free to preach more specifically pacifist teachings (although only Eastern Orthodox and Quakers are the only real pacifists these days).

Islam couldn't ever been pacifist because it was created in an environment of dessert tribal warfare during the middle ages. Mohammad had to establish law and order himself to have any hope of creating the kind of society he envisioned.

But Islam does not promote expansion or killing anyone who isn't Muslim. The religion was traditionally used to establish law, order, and ethics. Just like any other religion, some have used it for their own political purposes...which lately has become anti-imperialism and this great imaginary battle between Islam and the West.
