CBNNews.com - Ever since 9/11, Americans have been bombarded with the message that Islam is a religion of peace.
The "Islam is Peace" campaign began in earnest the day after 9/11, when President Bush visited a mosque in Washington, D.C.
"The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam," President Bush said. "That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace."
Click play to hear Gordon Robertson and Robert Spencer speak about the apparent differences between Christianity and Islam.The leading Muslim advocacy group, the Council of American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, has continued to spread the "Islam is peace" message through the media, even though CAIR is now an un-indicted co-conspirator in a terrorism case.
A CAIR commercial says "Islam is not about violence. It's about peace and justice."
Some have even suggested that Christianity is somehow as dangerous or more dangerous than radical Islam. Rosie O'Donnell said as much on the program The View last year.
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck said "…And if you take radical Islam and what's going on there…".
O'Donnell interrupted: "Just one second. Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."
But is it? A new book says there's no comparison. Religion of Peace: Why Christianity is and Islam Isn't by Robert Spencer, says that while the Bible teaches Christians to love their enemies, the Koran teaches Muslims to be "ruthless" with un-believers.
Consider the reaction of some British Muslims in London last year after a Danish cartoonist drew Mohammed with a bomb in his turban.
"Nuke, nuke Denmark. We want Danish blood. We want Danish blood. We want Danish blood," Muslim protesters shouted.
It has been said that while most of the world's Muslims may not be terrorists, most of the world's terrorists are Muslims. But many on the left still fear Christianity more than Islam.
Spencer says it's time for West to defend Christianity, and tell the truth about Islam. *Original broadcast August 18, 2007
