Some Basic Islamic Beliefs

Re: Some Basic Islamic Beliefs

What's the Muslim version of the Golden Rule?

The Christian version is do to others as you would have done to you.

The Jewish version is don't do to others as you would not have done to
you.

Judging from all this Muslim spam proselytizing, they have no golden
rule.

Interestingly, the Jewish version, being passive, seems to have
allowed the Jewish holocaust, whereas the hero of Jews, Oskar
Schindler, acted in a manner consistent with the Christian version.
Of course, the vast majority of Nazis followed neither version,
something they might have in common with Muslims.
