GOD's chosen people

I don't know the answer to that question, do you?
Sharia approves of the death penalty for so-called 'apostasy' (leaving Islam or saying things not in line with Islam). Tribune.com - Most Muslims Want Sharia ... Split on Interpretation
And Judaism allows any crime under the sun so long it is not to another Jew. Only Jews have rights in Judaism so how is it any better than Islam.

I have a question for the members of this thread who are more knowledgeable about religion than I am, hopefully you can help me figure this out.
First off, wouldn't believing that you are "GOD's chosen people" be a form of extremism?
IMO it is a form of extremism due to the fact that you consider yourself to be more important than those who are not part of your religion.
I'm pretty sure that Judaism preaches that they are GOD's chosen people, does Islam preach the same?
Well, I've heard people say they live in Gods country, often in Hollywood films you will hear the phrase 'God Bless America' as they are about to go and kill people from a different country. People talk about certain amendments to the American constitution as giving people a 'God given right'........... and that is on ATS. Often.
Isn't that a similar form of extremism?
IMO that is not the same kind of statement, but could be considered as a mild form of extremism depending on the context (context can be a pain in the a$$ to decipher unfortunately).
I believe that there is a major difference between "GOD gave me this land so I'm going to bulldoze your home and force you out at gunpoint" versus "God bless America" or "this is God's country".
Would you consider it to be a bit extreme if I believed something from a book that cannot factually be proven then proceeded to force you and your family out at gunpoint and steal your home because my GOD told me I could?
Hopefully you can see the difference between the two.
Cheers.
No, not really, I just know any chance to indulge in Anti Israeli comments you will do so. You choose to make the distinction and you could argue America has done exactly what you have quoted above.

Guess what , I dont need to research, i Know.I spended so much time with moderate muslims and radical muslims.They are behind modern civilised man one century at least.Islam is biggest threat to humanity. I have a t-shirt with a sign ¨God , save me from religions¨, and that pretty much tell everything.You found deep connection with the Islam and that is fine with me , have a good and happy life but dont try to impose anything connected with Islam on me.Fastest growing religion or not doesnt matter.There are still plenty of people who will die for freedom , that freedom which Islam is trying to destroy.

Why ? Because It's good to be anti-Islam.

They funny thing is Muslims could unite as one tomorrow through their faith, The West will still be bickering over which McDonalds burger tastes the best when that happens.
