Apparently there is a ruckus being raised over some remarks reportedly made by Attorney General John Ashcroft about Islam.

"Islam is a religion in which God requires you to send your son to die for Him. Christianity is a faith in which God sends His son to die for you."

American-Islamic groups are calling for Ashcroft's head. However, the statement appears to be an accurate analysis of the difference between the two religions. In Islam, the only way to be assured paradise is to die a martyr. That's the truth. In Christianity, the only way to be assured heaven is to accept that Jesus died for your sins. That's the truth.
