Why do we make such arbitrary boundaries between Christianity and Islam?
We could call both Muslims and Christians Jews but Judaism also has a ethnic / racial component and Jews don't recognise Jesus as the Messiah, so we should simply recognise Islamo-Christians as an offshoot of Judaism that encompasses worship of the Jewish God,Yahweh, by Gentiles and a belief that Jesus was the Messiah.
Why don't Islamo-Christians ever apologise for terrorism? I have never heard the pope or any protestant leader apologise for what believers in Islamo-Christianity have done in the name of Yahweh. When is the pope going to apologise for 9/11?

What you're really asking is "when does something stop being a heresy and start being another religion entirely"
This was solved at the councils.

Arbitrary?
Christianity: Jesus is God. Islam: No he is not.
Christianity: Jesus was crucified. Islam: No he was not.
Christianity: Jesus died on the cross. Islam: No he did not.
Christianity: Jesus rose from the dead. Islam: No he did not.
Christianity: Jesus is God. Islam: No he is not.
Couldn't be further apart.

That seems pretty arbitrary.

>>2573788
Other than these minor trivial details they are the same.

Isn't this an appeal to authortiy?
>>
>>2573809
Yup. Nothing was "solved" at any catholic council.
>>
>>2573804
They seem fairly trivial. What's the big difference?
>>
>>2573809
We all appeal to some sort of authority. Even if its our own mind.

>>2573814
Except everything?
>>
>>2573815
Name only. In English we say Jehovah Gyro and in Islamic we say Allahu Ackbar, but they mean the same thing.
>>
>>2573820
Everything catholic, which of course is nothing.
>>
>>2573822
In English we say Satan, and you say Allah.
They mean the same thing.

>>2573817
Some ancient council seems fairly mundane, though. It's much less significant, historically speaking than the splits between Shias and Sunnis or Protestants, Orthodox, Catholics and Anglicans.

>>2573831
I've never heard it claimed before that in English God and the Devil are the same word.
Maybe you could provide some evidence for this.
