The Christians inhabit a part of the world that is known for its intellectual prowess. This should have been a source of great hope, but I regret to say that they have squandered their acquired knowledge of science and phi- losophy when it comes to matters of religion and the Unity of God. When we see their worldly projects and their systematic methods and how they invent new indus- tries virtually everyday, and then observe their pathetic understanding of God and how they have come to con- sider a humble human to be the Lord of the worlds, we are at a loss to understand how their intellect can work so wonderfully in worldly matters but fails them completely when it comes to recognizing God! The difference between the extreme views of the Muslims and the Christians is that, while many Muslims usurp the rights of their fellow beings, the Christians on the other hand infringe upon the rights of God. Muslims no longer have love and compassion for their fellow beings because their misconceptions about Jihad have made them hard- hearted. Indeed, some vicious people among them readily kill innocent people for small personal gains or due to some satanic inspiration, nor do they refrain from humili- ating people or seizing their property. By disregarding these essential human rights, they tarnish the very image of humanity. As for the Christians, they have infringed upon the rights of the Almighty in every possible way.
