I'm basically trying to say..how come when a Christian who does terror in the name of God is just shrugged off as a (not a true Christian) but when muslims do terror ALL of Islam is blamed....all religions have their fanatics (most terrorists are not even muslim) but the limelight is on the muslim ones...why is this?....by the way do not quote any sources from Prophetofdoom.......I've looked into it I compared their excerpts from the ones in the actual Qu'ran...and I noticed differences small but signifigant enough to wrongly portray Islam as a hateful cult...even though I experianced and know different....and if your gonna throw me (look at 9/11, Al-Qaida and Palestine)....so should I label Christianity hateful for Oklohoma City, the doings of the KKK? THe christian bombing of abortion clinics and nightclubs?...These were all done by Christians who used the bible as their justification...so How come these guys are just shrugged off as misled Christians?But ALL the muslims are deviant?

It's just basic human nature, humans are of course going to use any justification possible to vilify anyone who is different or does not subscribe to a certain set of rules that they do.
Just like when Hurricane Katrina hit, the blacks and whites were taking stuff from the store, the caption for the whites in the photo said they were "trying to survive" but the cpation under the photo for the blacks said they were "looting, which is such a load of bull, but it just goes to show you how people can so easily judge someone who's different. Personally, I don't believe it's all of christianity that is hateful...or mean, but what I do think is that the evangelists and some protestant groups like to spread fear about anyone who's different. It's strange though, they probably look at us the same way we look at them...that's just strange, but like us, it's not the whole group that's acting stupidly, just a few cooks.

Most people don't blame the Islamic faith for terrorism. They blame the Islamic fringe. But yeah, some do... so with that:

Timothy McVeigh did not claim to be acting on behalf of God when he bombed the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City (at least, not to my knowledge) so it would be difficult to attribute that act to any religion. However, when many "terrorists" act, they claim to be doing so on the part of the Islamic faith--and they leave behind a team of survivors that also make that claim for them should they have been suicide terrorists.

The Abortion clinic bombings? Yeah, those people claim to be acting as Christian when they do that. But they also get prosecuted and sent to prison, and then no one but those doing the acts makes their claim. No militant group is left behind supporting them.

What nightclubs have been bombed by Christians??

The difference is level of exposure to a particular group of people. When someone hears of a bad event by someone of their own race, religion, etc. they know other people who are not like the person who committed the crime. Therefore, they are able to categorize the criminal in their mind as a "bad person." However, when the criminal is unlike the person judging them, he or she is the ONLY representative the person has of that particular group. There is nobody else to compare them to so everyone with the same characteristics/demographics as the criminal is believed to be bad because that is all one knows about that group of people.

In much the same way, if we were on a board that was predominantly frequented by Muslims, the "bad" group would be "all Christians" because the level of exposure would be different. People on that board would know other Muslims who are not terrorists, but would not have much exposure to Christians to differentiate the trouble makers from Christians, as a whole.

Possibly because a lot of the destruction seems meaningless and ultimately when they say they are fighting a holy war, they are not acting on anything found in the quran they are acting in an unrighteous way, why the are called terrorists instead of untrue-muslims?, well, I could only think maybe because the crimes they commit are so extreme and often in comparison to other people from other religions, I'm not sure why that terminology is given all I know is that you are right in saying that there are extremists and radicals in every culture and every religion.

In 1209, the Crusade commander Arnold Aimery, the Papal Legate at the siege of Beziers, ordered his men: “Do not show mercy to age or sex. Kill them all, God will know his own!”
“…What do you think about this slogan of war that is occasionally expressed in the military environment--sometimes jokingly, sometimes seriously? Is it humorous or repulsive? Is it biblical or blasphemous? Interestingly, though it is heard today in conversations, read on bumper stickers and worn on T-shirts, it is not a new sentiment. In fact, it expresses the feelings of a churchman nearly a thousand years ago, who, when asked by a military commander on the battlefield for assistance in distinguishing between Christians and non-Christians replied, "Kill them all. God will know which are His." (http://www.leaderu.com/humanities/demy.html)

In 1964, the Muslim population of Liberia was ten percent, and they suffered greatly. Unless you were Christian, the missionaries would not give you medical treatment. Today, the Muslim population of Liberia is twenty percent, but the missionaries are proselytizing them.
(3)
The Christian army raped thousands of Bosnian Muslim women during the war.
CRUSADES Butchered everyone including defenseless women and children or any one else that got in there way.
Although it has taken many hundreds of years Crusaders have improved they now only kill some women and RAPE THE
REST.
The twentieth century has seen "Ethnic Cleansing" replace the word Crusade; in 1996 one of the youngest recorded victim
of rape in Bosnia was a baby of 4 Months old. Many women and children had two of there fingers severed by the Serbs so
that the three remaining fingers would remind them of the Trinity. (A Guide to Missionary Tactics)
some two million bosnian muslims died because of their faith
But i will never blame christanity for it because it will unjust .You can find good & bad people in every religion but those who hate muslims are in fact contradicting own Jesus teachings May God bring peace and order in this world

What you see depends upon where you stand. Horrible acts have been committed by both Christians and Muslims. "Christians" try to paint Islam as a hateful cult. "Muslims" try to paint Christianity as a hateful cult.

Wise folk on both sides know the majority of people, Christian or Muslim are more saints than terrorists. Only the uneducated, on both sides, buy into the hate mongering.

Maybe they are both wrong and deviant. I once asked a Muslim about the relationship between their religion and Christianity and Buddhism. It seems Christians are confused and must be saved. Buddhists? "We don't talk about them"... Buddhists don't seem to have this, "I am right" mentality which the Muslims and Christians do.

look over here. this is a basic definition fer a theory: that if it gets proved again and again it is said to be true. thats wat has happened to muslims. like why the world thinks muslims are crazy ***** who bomb everyone they know. its not your religion that everybodys got a problem with. its yer culture, the fanaticism that creeps in with the muslim mullahs, women are treated like rags, men r all fags, frekin madrasas where children ar e taught how tio make bombs and blow themselves up for a cause thats not theirs, and the mullahs are ****** cowards. believe me we would not like to believe it but when everyday when you turrn on the news and see some ****** bombing or some crazy guy halaling someone, we slowly do. now the world hates ****** muslims and tthats a fact.

The God of Christianity...that would be Jesus...ordained peace. "Love your enemies", He told them. That is why, when a someone calling themselves "Christian" commit acts of terror, they are misled...because they are not following the leading of their God.
Can the same be said of the muslim god...

EDIT:
It is typical Muslim cowardice, to send a message to my inbox...but refuse to accept messages back. As usual...scratch a bully, and you'll find a coward, every time.
