The problem with that Crashman is that Muslims do not follow the teachings of the Bible except where they overlap with the Koran. So you can't compare Islam to Christianity in this.

Jesus said to "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's" when talking about taxes. Yes you are supposed to obey the laws of the land, but looking at his followers after he ascended to heaven you cannot say they were following every law of the land, but instead were following what God had instructed them to do. Many of the early believers were put in prison and killed because they would not stop spreading the message about Jesus.

So in retrospect Jesus told his followers to make every attempt to follow the law, but if it does contradict God's law, the choice is clear: you follow God.

There are tons of stories about followers disobeying the law of the land and God saves them for it because they followed His law instead, look at Shadrak, Meshak, and Abendigo. They would not bow to a golden idol when commanded and they were thrown into a fiery furnance for it, yet they came out unscathed by the fire. There wasn't even a hint of smoke on their clothes. So you say something that is not exactly true.
