Personally, from what I have seen, the inner teachings of both the Koran and the Bible teach of an awareness of forgiveness for the enemy. But outwordly, the followers of BOTH spiritual traditions have a very hard time in bringing that ideal to fruitation. To be sure, some of the most hateful people whom I have come across are Christians. To make claims of superiority, and to actually manifest it are two completely different things. It's the fruits that I see that allows me to see my Beloved God working with in the soul of a person. Not claims of superior teachings. David Hatcher
