jesus never held a sword & advocated for the golden rule - the perfect example to live by in christianity; all religions are not the same

That is definitely true, another thing that is different with Christianity and Judaism compared to Islam is that there is no marriage with the religion and state, politics is seperate.

good example to use as a metaphor for how state & market can be divided. some see them as the same.

Matthew 22:21 ("render to Caesar..") does so much heavy lifting for Christians who just want to fit in with the laws/society they find themselves in. Islam has had no such luck...

That is a new testament thing, the The Noahide laws states that laws should be established, but the difference is that Islam is primary a total legal/societal contract all encompassing

Yeah, Peter had the sword and Judas had the money. He want against violence entirely apparently. Plus if he needed to kick but he just used his belt as a whip.

I do not mind the religion of Islam, or any other religion, but I am not a fan of the fact that it is an political institution and system of law that is all encompassing.
