Islam has no separation of church and state at all. In their vision the church IS the state. The Christian vision is a state voluntarily informed by the church, but the church does not govern and conversion by force or death to infidels is not entertained in any way.
Yeah, it isn’t as though there has ever been a Holy Roman Empire or anything like… oh.

And like I said, that was a perversion of Christianity not found in the teachings of Christ or the early church.
The violence of Islam is a command of their scriptures and their prophet.
Heck, not even Al-Zawahiri would tell you that it’s about violence. They rationalize violence in a twisted self-defense argument. Listen or read up some of the crap coming from Al-Qaeda once in a while. You might end up learning something.

The stuff coming from Al-Qaeda? I get my fill of that sort of propaganda here.
