How can we stop Christian and Muslim conflict?

Question

How can we end this conflict? why can we just respect and love one another? we are worshipping the same God in our own different ways. why does it need to end this way?
Lets face it, the conflict reaches to a level that political issues come in, we are starting to stereotype ach other to hate one another and disagree on all these things. Why cant we just Love and respect one another, like what the Holy Teachings / Scriptures say?

Answer 1

Is to try to understand each other and love each other because all the prophets never fought each other or had a conflict.Just because we are different people and have different religions it doesn't mean we are any different. We are both human beings and the funny thing is that animals get along better than humans these days, because of all the racist people, but I know you are not. I just hope one day we will all care and adore each other.Show respect and behave in a well manner. Everyone goes through a lot in their lives and get angry of some reason but we still need to understand that we all have problems and we may be more common than we thought. I mean why start war, what is it good for? Why can't we just appreciate each other forever. I feel like crying. I love everyone's religion and culture and respect everyone's views. But sometimes other people can't do that, and I hope they will try to. Because if we stop hating each other and blaming each other than we will be closer than we think. We just need to organize a group and have different people and cultures then we will ask each other questions and help out each other then we will be friends. Hope the future holds a better picture. This is the best question I have ever answered and I answered 500.Good luck.

Answer 2

Much as I'd love to see the conflict end, I doubt it ever will. The same god tells followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to love each other (and everyone) - and for the last 2000 years, they've all been fighting over how god said it (and even gone as far as killing those who don't share the exact same faith or the same aspects of faith). If it hasn't shown any signs of improvement in 2 millenia, then the odds of it ending anytime soon would appear to be very slim.

Answer 3

There is no conflict. There are a bunch of pagans posing as Christian priests to help Christians go to Muslim lands, kill Muslims and have conflict between all monotheistic religions, so that their pagan beliefs come on top, and all those religions that worship One God will be destroyed. There are puppet American paid governments in power every where, specially the Middle East. Then they will say, see, religion doesn't work specially Islam. The pagans managed to have a Jewish man named Saul introduce the pagan belief of Zeus son of God into Christianity, and now Christians praise him as St. Paul; he also happened to killed thousand and thousands of Christians and never met prophet Jesus. No offense to any one, this is according to Christian scholars about St. Paul, you can research it yourselves. Note, if you're going to look into it, search for the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas that says prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus. The statue of the Virgin Mary on the White House dome, in a close up photo is actually the godess of the underworld and President Lincoln is sitting in the position of the god of death. I didn't make it up, research it.

Answer 4

"we are worshipping the same God"

This is where Christian Fundamentalists disagree with you. According to them, Allah is a false moon-god. On the other hand, Muslims do think Christians worship the same God. But the essence of Christianity is *not* the worship of *God*, but of his *Son*. He is its central object of worship (of which truth the position of "the Son" in the phrase "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost" bears witness). Muslims believe Jesus was a mortal - an extraordinary mortal (who could speak fluently when he was still a baby), but a mortal nonetheless.

EDIT:

In answer to your question to me personally: Yes, I have. *Feuerbach* wrote some excellent stuff on the matter:

"God as God, as a simple being is the being absolutely alone, solitary – absolute solitude and self-sufficingness; for that only can be solitary which is self-sufficing. To be able to be solitary is a sign of character and thinking power. Solitude is the want of the thinker, society the want of the heart. We can think alone, but we can love only with another. In love we are dependent, for it is the need of another being; we are independent only in the solitary act of thought. Solitude is self-sufficingness.

"But from a solitary God the essential need of duality, of love, of community, of the real, completed self-consciousness, of the *alter ego*, is excluded. This want is therefore satisfied by religion thus: in the still solitude of the Divine Being is placed another, a second, different from God as to personality, but identical with him in essence, – God the Son, in distinction from God the Father. God the Father is I, God the Son *Thou*. The I is understanding, the *Thou* love. But love with understanding and understanding with love is mind, and mind is the totality of man as such – the total man.

"Participated life is alone true, self-satisfying, divine life - this simple thought, this truth, natural, immanent in man, is the secret, the supernatural mystery of the Trinity. But religion expresses this truth, as it does every other, in an indirect manner i.e., inversely, for it here makes a general truth into a particular one, the true subject into a predicate, when it says: God is a participated life, a life of love and friendship. The third Person in the Trinity expresses nothing further than the love of the two divine Persons towards each other; it is the unity of the Son and the Father, the idea of community, strangely enough regarded in its turn as a special personal being."

Answer 5

I have an idea. Let's stop the Muslim and Muslim conflict! If you read what is actually going on, you'll see that it's the Shiites and Sunnis who are fighting one another.
What did the Kurds do to Saddam that made him want to completely wipe them out? They aren't Christians. I've met many of them.

Answer 6

Because neither side has a majority of their people intelligent or observant enough to even ask the question that you have posed let alone to question their leaders on both sides that are spewing the rhetoric that is saying that it is "gods will" to kill people of the other side. Even tho it is clearly stated in both peoples holy books that it is wrong to kill.

Answer 7

This is a conflict that no man will ever find and end for. Only at the end of this earth will it end. It is a conflict promoted by the prince of this world, who is satan. When he is gone all conflict will be gone.

Answer 8

That's easy. Muslims need to follow the true teachings of Islam and the same goes to Christians.

Answer 9

religion is just a front for something else, its true that it is used in justification among many nations, but you have to realize that those nations are living in a totally different society with little human rights, little or no public education, poverty, and corruption so rampant that it cripples any viable government from forming. Its just another way of saying its "us" versus "them"

Answer 10

the answer to every question lies within the question it self. Abviously the easiest way to stop the fighting would be to do away with the ROOT cause of the conflict itself.
