Regardless, it's a valid topic; If you'd like to see the others, or a "best face of" version, feel free to add it up!
Besides that, I chose Christianity as the topic because christian pundits tend to be the most public. I have yet to see Judaism represented on its own television network, let alone five of them.
Also, Mohammadanism? It's called ISLAM.
Also noteworthy, in that general GT etiquitte sort of way - This is a comment, not an answer.
Also, lol @ Mohammadanism.
this shows how ignorant you are monotone. stop laughing at yourself and go and google it. It means "Islam"
Before critisizing the term Mohammadanism, perhaps you should check it out. Otherwise you are showing your own lack of knowledge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammedanism was redireceted to Mohammedan.
"Mohammedan (variant forms: Muhammadan, Mahommedan or Mahometan) is a term used as both a noun and an adjective meaning belonging or relating to either the religion of Islam or to that of the prophet Muhammad. The term is now largely superseded by Muslim, Moslem or Islamic but was commonly used in Western literature until at least the mid 1960s. (See for instance the second edition of "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage" by HW Fowler, revised by Ernest Gowers (Oxford, 1965)). Muslim is more commonly used today than Moslem, and the term Mohammedan is generally considered archaic or in some cases even offensive.[1] According to the SOED (1973), Mohammedan was in use by 1681, along with the older term Mahometan that dates back to 1529."
"Some Muslims have objected to the term, saying it implies that they worship their prophet Muhammad, in the manner Christians worship Christ.[5] As Muhammad was traditionally regarded by Christians as a heresiarch, the label Mohammedanism (with many variant spellings) was traditionally used much as other heresies were named for their founders or leading teachers: Arianism for its founder Arius, Donatism for its founder Donatus Magnus, Eutychianism for its leading teacher Eutyches, Marcionism for its founder Marcion, Montanism for its founder Montanus, Nestorianism for its founder Nestorius, Pelagianism for its founder Pelagius, Priscillianism for its founder Priscillian, Sabellianism for its principal teacher Sabellius and so forth.[citation needed] This way of referring to religious communities or sects is not normally controversial, as evidenced by Lutheranism, a term used by adherents and non-adherents alike, which has as nothing to do with a deification or worship of Martin Luther, and involves rather less of a cult of personality or veneration for Luther than Islamic veneration for Muhammad."
