| "All Scripture is Inspired of God and Beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting tthings straight, for disciplining in Righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."
- 2 Timothy 3:16, 17
Not so different, is it? And the basis for many an orthodox Christians view of the Bible- Pentecostals, the original Protestant reformation, Jehovahs Witnesses, Quakers, several churches. Like the Moslems, the fundamentalist Christian doctrine is there should be no seperation of Church and State, i.e. a theocracy.
Words are words, but the devil is in the detail- interpretation. There are plenty of moderate Moslems around, plenty of highly accomplished and educated Moslems. Plenty of secular Moslems too. Plenty of secular Moslem states too for that matter. Non secular Moslem states- Saudi, Iran, Afghanistan. Any more?
