You are correct p�scha is actually Greek for Passover.  The Eastern Orthodox Church uses it as Easter.  Its interesting they use it for Brothel in Germany.  I wonder what the word means IN GERMAN.

Oh! In this way one can easily look at the word "mecca" where Muslims now have to make sure that they write "Mekkha" to distinguish it as their holy city than from the brothel. But obviously all are not so carefull, including myself. But can this really make both as same. I don't think so. But ofcourse there is no dearth of extremists, and certain Muslims are obviously no exception to it.

fredifreeloader you are also not taking into account the fact that islam and christianity do not propose the same thing.  islam claims to cover all aspects of life, social and governmental.  christianity does not include the governmental, unless in the context of the church.  you may point out the failures of christians, and rightly so, but i am pointing out the miserable failure of islam to fulfill its promises, which have never been carried out.  in this site it is obvious to me that noone is even sure what these promises are, in the social and governmental sphere [/QUOTE wrote: Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  This verse was used in another thread here

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 

This verse was used in another thread here to discribe Jesus. Apparently someone was supposed to unite government and religion, a task also believed to be part of the job of the Messiah of Judaism.

I think the difference between Islam and Christianity in this respect is that Muslims actually do try to have Islam cover all aspects of life.

In early Islam the practice of Muta'a was allowed. But The Prophet forbade it later as it did not meet the criteria of marriage revealed in the Quran. Once something was revealed in the Quran, the old practices were forbidden.

I think this is also the case in Christianity: eating pork, turning the other cheek, etc...

I'm not really sure what you are objecting to. There are some Muslims in Egypt and Saudi practicing something that most scholars and the Islamic world  have said are not correct. This is an innovation of the religion and a sin.
