Watch out on posting much, especially without comment...I know.

Anywho, never really thought about Christ like that.  He was insulted & that's what (sort of?) made him great.
I guess Christians are more humble?

That really said next to nothing about Islam, except that it's a failure. As for the Christianity half (seven eighths?), I could have written that myself. =)
