Augustine, actually developed the idea of a "just" war that provided a moral justification for the efforts of Charlemagne and the Crusaders (Mayr-Harting, 1996). The Inquisitions that occurred throughout Europe and reached their zenith in Spain used the philosophies of Augustine as their justification (Walzer, 2002) For nearly two thousand years Christianity and Islam have existed side by side
5% are Muslims, however, it is estimated that sometime within the next several decades Islam will become the most popular religion in the world (Comparing pp). This is due to the fact that Islam has the world's lowest rate of being converted and one of the world's highest rates of converting (Kreeft pp)
None, however, support abortion on demand as is the position of the pro-choice groups. (Jelen, 134-142) Conclusion The Christian beliefs about abortion have completed a full circle since the biblical times

Much of the Old Testament is utilized within Judaism -- one of the chief points of distinction between these two religions is that Christians believe that Jesus was divine whereas Hebrews believe that Jesus was merely a prophet. Much of the New Testament, therefore, is not utilized by Jews (Oppenheimer, 2011)
Judaism, meanwhile, has about 15 million adherents. Both Judaism and Christianity developed by relying upon the local practices and beliefs of earlier religions that were popular in the areas where Judaism and Christianity sought converts (Esposito, 2009)

In addition, looking at a broader view of the cognitive abilities of these students, one finds that they are 12-24 months behind students of middle and upper-middle income brackets just a few blocks away -- same city, same zip code, same district, similar teacher backgrounds.

Humanists embrace the scientific method and critical thought as tools used to describe the beginnings of humanity (Kurtz, 2002)

An ideal Christian destiny includes a lifetime of devotion to God followed by salvation. Works Cited Kurtz, Paul. (2002)
