Muslim is best religion in the world :D

Why do you make this claim?

@ anonymous: First, "muslim" is not a religion, it's a person. The name of that person's religion is Islam. Second, even if your claim were right, all religions are stupid, since there is no evidence whatsoever to support them. Your imaginary celestial friend can call me on my cell phone anytime. If he exists, he knows my number.

@ 1st poster - you have completely missed the point, there is no *best* where there is *harmony*. For harmony *IS* the best. :)
@René - You are some what wrong my friend, the Jewish faith had endured the grand nation of the Hebrews through the hell fire of Auschwitz and Dachau in Europe and through the raging onslaughts of the murderous clans of Africa and Arabia.
Our endurance is proof enough.
"The lord is my Shepherd" and "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil" are not just another nice piece of poetry for us, it is an every day's reality.

How come we are still here? Why have we endured? A wise Chinese man wrote:

***
Heaven lasts long, and Earth abides
What is the secret of their durability?
Is it because they do not live for themselves
That they endure so long?
-Lao Tzu
***
Judaism regresses that we are a willing slave nation to our lord, here to create a better world for *all* the nations on earth, A better world through love and understanding.

We have no missionaries nor do we want anyone to convert to Judaism, this burden is our own, and we shall carry on with it as a tribute for our lord and out of our brothers of different nations and creeds, all we ask is that you will remember to show compassion towards the less fortunate and towards the people who made you who you are.

However, some people take this quality as weakness but they don't live long enough to regret it, all the empires that though they can toy with us (Where is the might of Babylon? Rome? Assyria? shall I continue? all are dust and debris) have became yet another foot note in school-children's history books, and yet the majesty of our lord still shines bright upon his one glorious holy city, the fare Jerusalem.

*love thy neighbor as thyself*

- Tuxu

Rene ... You must be a very bitter person. When YOU want to know God... you know how to reach him..

@Rene: All religions are not stupid. There is plenty of proof to support them, though they differ. Adler's Truth in Religion suggests a promising analysis that may help. But since you have declared yourself and your judgment, the burden shifts to you. What do you mean by proof? Do you reduce proof to sense evidence only and dismiss reason? The call you ask for is on hold. Perhaps you fear to answer it. I double-dare you to pick up the quest.

@All: Here's the blog title and link to which the Chart is attached:

Title: "Are efforts to manage change effectively limited by where the truth lies in the plurality of the world's organized and institutional religions?"
