the one thing they all had in common is a belief in the one true god.
if we're looking for the commonality, let's not stop with a specific set of beliefs.

The problem is what that prophet taught them: 1) Kill those that won't accept Islam as their religion, and 2) kill those that try to leave Islam.....That's a big giant problem. The solution isn't to be found by looking for flaws in Christianity. I have no problem with anyone doing that, but it doesn't help change the much bigger problems that Islam has to offer the 3/4 of the world that isn't Muslim.
