There are many people who are confused over the whole "religion" thing. What most fail to realize is that evolution is nothing more than a religion, a philosophy. It takes more faith to believe in that nonsense than it does to believe in a Creator, God. The argument is often made, "There are so many religions out there. What makes yours the right one?" or "With all the religions out there, how can any of them claim to be the right one?" or "How do you know which one is the right one?" Well, let's examine today's fastest growing religion and see if it stands up to the truth. Let's weigh it against itself and see if it stands.
Muslims like to claim that the Bible was corrupted. If so, when was it corrupted? Was it before or after Muhammad? If before, then Muhammad is in error because the Qu'ran states in surah 21:7 that the messengers of the Bible were indeed inspired. It also states that if you don't know this, you should ask those who possess the message—which would be Christians. Further, in surah 5:66 and 68, it tells the people of the Book—which would be Christians—to stand fast by the Torah (Old Testament) and the Gospel (New Testament) because it is from the Lord. So the Qu'ran upholds the purity of the Old and New Testaments—the entire Bible.
Surah 3:3 tells us that the words of Jesus are true, once again upholding the purity of the Torah (Old Testament) and the Gospel (New Testament). The Qu'ran claims that Muhammad saw God. However, Jesus, Whose words are true, said that "No one can see God and live." Moses never saw God. He saw the back end of God's glory. The Qu'ran also claims that Muhammad is the greatest of prophets. However, Jesus, Whose words are true, said that "Of men born to women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist." Why was John the greatest prophet? Because he was the forerunner who announced the coming of the Messiah—Jesus Christ.
The Qu'ran says in surahs 2:225, 16:106, and 66:2 that lying is acceptable. The Qu'ran also states that Allah is the greatest of deceivers. However, the 9th Commandment says "Thou shall not bear false witness." In other words, Do not lie! Scripture tells us that "God cannot lie" and that "God is not a man that He should lie." God cannot lie because it contradicts and is contrary to His character and being, which is truth, righteousness, and holiness. Lying goes against all three of these. Scripture also tells us that "Lying lips are an abomination to God" and "All liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire." Further, Jesus, Whose words are true, said that Satan is the Father of Lies. So if Allah is the greatest of deceivers, then Allah is clearly Satan.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." There is salvation in no other name apart from Jesus Christ. Jesus also said that He was God. "I and the Father are one." Jesus also said to them, "Before Abraham was... I Am." The term "I Am" is the same name with which God made Himself known to Moses. If Jesus never said He was God, then why did the Jews pick up stones to stone Him to death and why did they say that He committed blasphemy by equating Himself with God?
Muslims also like to lie and attempt to tell people that they worship the same God as Christians, but simply call Him a different name. Is this true? My God tells me to "Love your enemies and do good to them." The Muslims' god tells them to murder everybody—Jews, Christians, and pagans: smite the unbeliever (surah 47:4); fight the people of the book—Christians (surah 9:29); fight and slay pagans (surah 9:5); don't be friends with Jews and Christians (surah 5:51); kill any man who leaves Islam (surah 4:89—so much for freedom of religion: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him!" [surah 3:85]). Those are just a handful of the many verses that command them to do such things—and that's not even looking at the Haddith. The ironic thing is, there are mosques around here that send out "tracts" claiming that Islam is a religion of peace and that they are for freedom of religion. We have just seen from their own book that this is a bold faced lie in light of the truth about their religion.

Note: An attempt was made to try and contradict the realistic facts revealed in this film by attempting to produce a film like it based on the Bible. However, "After extensive research, linking Bible quotations with real political events and acts of violence...produced an insufficient basis for a thorough journalistic production." (See the article here.) In other words, genuine Christians are not violent, just as the entire New Testament reveals to us.
According to Jesus and His words of truth, Muhammad is a false prophet and Allah is a demon god. The character of Allah is everything that the character of God is not. God is truth. Allah is lies. God is merciful. Allah is murderous. God is loving. Allah is hateful. Further, Muhammad exhibited a character that is contradictory not only to the teachings of Jesus but also to a life transformed by God. Muhammad was a liar, a thief, and a murderer, raiding caravans regularly. He was an adulterer and a pedophile, having married numerous wives and consummating his marriage to his youngest wife when she was 9 years old!
Jesus, Whose words are true, said that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" and that "No one comes to the Father" except through Him. There is only one way to salvation, and if Jesus is it, then regardless of how one feels about it or what one believes, all other religions are false and lead straight to hell and eternal damnation. If Jesus is the Truth, then all other religions are false. If Jesus is the Life, then all other religions lead to death. If Jesus is the Way, then all other religions are the wrong way. It does not matter how earnestly you believe in your religion. Truth is truth regardless of what you believe or perceive. All religions except for genuine Christianity are works-based religions—man trying to reach up to God; but genuine Christianity is grace-based—God reaching down to man. There is nothing you can do to merit or earn forgiveness and salvation. It is a free gift offered through Jesus Christ. Reject that gift and you can work until you are blue in the face and you will never earn your place in heaven. You will only increase the wrath stored up for you until the day of judgment. If you do not have Jesus Christ, Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, then your religion and what you believe are damning lies. When Jesus returns, He will judge the world in truth and in righteousness and all those who have rejected the truth in favour of the lies will be cast into eternal damnation. Is your eternity worth that risk?
Jesus is the Truth. The Bible is true from cover to cover. Christianity is true through and through and is the only religion that leads to true peace and harmony, and better living for the good of all humanity. Study history some time. Every nation that was predominantly Christian treated people equally as human beings, showing respect one for another. When the nation was predominantly Christian, the nation as a whole fared better. When Christianity is absent, the nations are barbarous and corrupt, everyone doing what they think is right in their own minds, being selfish and self-centered, caring only about themselves and what they can get. Examine England, the USA, and Canada 100 years ago when they were predominantly Christian, and look at them today as the nations suppress Christianity. They went from glorious nations to slums where sin runs rampantly. Bad is called good, and good is called bad. Only the truth can set us free.
"You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free."
"If the Son has set you free, then you are free indeed."
