On Islam: All Faiths from God

Islam cannot be understood by looking only through the lens of 20th Century Christianity.

"Islam attained a very high spiritual state, but Western scholars are prone to judging it by Christian standards. One cannot call one World Faith superior to another, as they all come from God; they are progressive, each suited to certain needs of the time."

Shoghi Effendi, Directives from the Guardian

No! all faith is not from God. There is an absolute. If that's the case why do Islam teaches to kill people if they don't submit to Islam. Why are people aways covering up the truth. You only want to quote one part of the verse that says Islam is about peace, yet you ignore the rest.
This is false advertising. Everybody is on this lets fell good quest, but you always ignore the truth. We are sinners we offend a Holy and Righteous God And we deserve death, but he provide a way out by sending his son to die the death we deserve. Tell me who in the world is like this? No one. No other religion gives a way out of hell. They all just list some rules of what to do to get eternal life, you have to prove your way. But Christ on the other hand brings real peace, real joy and it's not something we have to do, he gives it to us for free, because he is a merciful God. Islam does not offer peace, Islam don't teach love your neighbor, Islam doesn't teach pray for your enemies, Islam doesn't teach about an unconditional love, that never stop loving even when you fail. What religion teaches this. what did Allah do for me. Did he leave his lofty throne to provide an answer for man to get right with God, What did Allah do for me. All I see from Islam is outward duties, but no inward love for there neighbors. you might want to do some word studies on mercy and peace and love. Because no other religion offer something real like Christ, all the others are superficial with rules and conditions
