I looked up your link, and no where in it did I find the words "love your enemy", so I'm going to stick with my original premise that Christianity is the only major religion that tells you to love your enemy. They all say to be nice to each other, but none of them say to be nice to people of other faiths. I never said that they don't all have some version of the Golden Rule, just that the Golden Rule wasn't applied to outsiders except in Christianity. The more I think about it, I'm not really qualified to say anything about the Oriental religions. I probably know more about them than the average person on the street, but I don't know nearly as much about them as I do about Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Both Judaism and Islam were extremely hostile to unbelievers in their early years, and Islam still is. To find out about the Jews you need to read the Biblical book of Leviticus, and to find out about the Muslims, you need to read the Koran. If you don't want to read those books yourself, then you'll just have to take my word for it.
The teachings of Jesus transcended the teachings of Moses, although Jesus did say that He didn't come here to abolish the law and the prophets. I think He was trying to say that you're still supposed to obey the old laws, and then He added new laws on top of that. The Jews had never been able to live up to the old standards, which is why they were always sacrificing animals to atone for their sins. Now along comes Jesus to lay even more guilt upon their shoulders. Of course He had a plan to resolve all that by sacrificing Himself to atone for the sins of everybody else which, if you think about it rationally, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Hey, it just occurred to me that Jesus might have been the great granddaddy of the liberals! Maybe I'll burn in Hell for saying that but, as Pontius Pilate said, "What I have written, I have written."
I found the Koran difficult to read, but I wasn't reading it for enjoyment. The reason I read it was that, with Islam being in the news every day, I thought it wouldn't hurt to learn something about it. My experience with Christianity was that a lot of people who talk about it don't know what they're talking about, and I suspected that it was the same with Islam. If you want to learn about Christianity you read the Bible, unless you're Catholic, in which case your parish priest will tell you all you need to know. If you want to learn about Islam, you read the Koran, so I waded through it as best I could. There were some parts that I found interesting, but I thought that most of it was pretty obscure. I probably learned more from the introduction, which I seem to remember was written by the guy who translated it. I think he was some kind of Englishman, which might be why he saw fit to translate the Koran into King James English instead of regular American English, which only contributed to the obscurity of the text. Lucky for me he wrote the introduction in modern English, although I can't say for sure that it was American English.
The only reason we have one Bible instead of a bunch of disorganized texts floating around is that the Roman Catholic Church had a committee or something that went through all the known religious writings of the time and decided what to keep and what to throw away. The stuff they kept was called "The Cannon", although it's not clear why they named it after a big gun that hadn't even been invented yet. I suppose that, when the real cannons eventually came along, people were getting confused about it, so they started calling it "The Bible", which comes from the old Greek word, "Biblios", which means "a collection of books."
