Dear Ruru,
I am a retired military man. I also have served overseas. I also have given blood. I believe it is good to give blood. Jesus gave blood... to save me. I'm sorry you are angry. I pray that you may see the Light... and know why we give blood.

To call this a “difference between Christianity and Islam” is completely absurd. Saying that this statement “doesn’t apply to peace-loving Muslims” does not lessen the ridiculousness and blatant ignorance of the statement.
Did anybody ask the blood donors of their religious backgrounds before making this argument? Is one saying that only Christians join the US forces? Please. What if every person standing in that line was Jewish? They could have all been Muslim…or I guess the author of this article would consider them “peace-loving Muslims.”
Maybe the soldiers read a heroic story about a person they admired helping his/her enemy right before hearing the news that an insurgent needed blood. Maybe that mindset was the deciding factor in their heroic act. It is impossible to exclude all other possibilities of causation other than religion from this act, therefore this article is merely the product of one person trying to make his/her own religion stand out among the rest by falsity.
