The few comparisons presented throughout this section reveal that Islamic theology conflicts greatly from the fundamental Judeo/Christian belief regarding a Divine Creator and Creation.

 

In addition, whenever belief systems and information are not in agreement, a multitude of followers on one side - or the other - are being misled. Truth for seeking God must therefore be sought and received through an individual's own inquiry and experience. Religions, such as Islam, that force their followers to believe doctrinal tenets of faith without question are doing a great disservice to each individual and are disobeying the True God of Creation who has given each individual the right of free-will.

 

Any individual who is coerced into worshipping God through guilt and threats of corporal and eternal punishment is not really worshipping from their heart but out of fear. It is a sad fact to read how various religious cult leaders have deceived followers through methods of allurement and brainwashing techniques that oftentimes end up in tragic results. Such is the case with the re-emerged fundamental movement of Islam whose clerics preach hatred in the name of religion and command Muslims to engage in terror and violence against non-Muslims. This is the same way that Muhammad and his armies spread the religion of Islam in the seventh-century.
