Modern day actions of both groups coupled with the teachings of each group shows a distinct difference. Christainity is responsible for the lion's share of the charity work performed around the globe! The charity is not reserved only for those who profess to be Christains either, non Christians benefit as much and Christians do. Show me a passage in the new testament (the teachings of Christ) that approves of and/or encourages the harming or killing of non beleivers. I'll be waiting!
