They both have the same god(not jesus but the creator) and seems this god has different opinions on whats right or wrong and each side makes it ok to hate each other.For example, allah tells his believers it is ok to kill the christian devils.On the other hand, god or jesus is on our side saying it is ok to kill these terrorists.What ever happened to thou shall not kill?

Perhaps it would be better if I were to rephrase your question. No religion would proclaim it to be okay to kill anyone, be it good or evil. Instead, a religion would encourage an individual to steer clear of evil and be filled with goodness. This would be the case for both Christianity and Islam. And, I would not say that Christian religion is picked over Islam religion. Both religions hold on to different beliefs and it would not be fair to say that one is "picked over" the other.

Allah is not the same God as Jehovah. This was spread as a myth to make Islam more appealing to Middle Eastern Christians and Jews in the early stages of that religion. Allah is nothing more than an insignificant moon god that happened to be the deity worshiped by Mohammed's family. (That's where the crescent moon symbol comes in). Basically Allah is the Arabic version of Diana or Luna in Greek and Roman myths. Since he isn't real, he can be made to tell anyone what they want to hear.

First off all, the Christian religion does not advocate killing people, especially not just because they believe something different. Christians do not hate Islam or Muslims. We feel that they are wrong in their beliefs but the Bible clearly teaches that men are made in the image of God and that we should love and respect every person. So if a Christian does hate or want to kill another person, they are acting on their own and not according to Christianity.
Second, I believe that the same thing is happening with Islam. It's followers are distorting Islamic teachings and it is their own hatred that motivates them to kill others and then claim it was done in the name of Islam.
Lastly, Christianity and Islam are completely different. The Bible teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ and him alone. Islam does not.
If people claim to kill because their religion teaches them to do so, they are lying and as the Bible says "they deceive themselves and the truth is not in them."

What do you mean by "picked over?" Depends what part of the world you're living in. In Asia and Africa, Christianity is not the religion of the majority of the people. You need to widen your world view and also learn more about other religions before you decide to judge them. Learn more about your own, too. Thou shalt not kill is in the 10 Commandments. What's also in the Old Testament is stuff like, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." No peace and love there. I agree with what Abraham Lincoln once said, that we shouldn't worry so much about whether God is on our side, but whether we're on God's side.

Perhaps its the final reward that matters? In Islam you go to a place where you get 72 virgins. I am a man and I see nothing appealing about that reward. Christianity offers you the opportunity to be with those who you have loved, and because life has a tendency to tear apart loves, this is a bit more attractive. By the way, Jesus is on Gods right side, not every person. Just because we believe in him does not mean that if we go against what he has taught us that he turns a blind eye to what we do in his name. Jesus does not condone the death of every mistaken individual.

In the Maccabees it says that Jews were being rounded up and killed. Some Jews decided to die at the sword of their attackers rather than kill so that they could die "without reproach" before the throne of God. Some Jews decided that if they did that, there would be no Jews left and why should they die and not the other side?
Jesus Christ says "all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Matt. 26:52 - take the warning everywhere you can apply it!

Well, you have it mixed up a little. They both do not have the same god. Just because they both use the Anglo term 'god' does not mean they are talking about the same one. You are right that the Koran tells Muslims to kill Jews and Christians, but the Bible does not tell Christians to kill Muslims. The Muslims worship Mohammad the false prophet of Allah th false moon god of the pagans.The Jews and Christians worship Jehovah GOD, EL-ELYON. He has many names but neither of them is Allah.

First you need to understand the origins of Islam.
Mohhamed says that he was a prophet of Allah, in the Quran he even states that a Muslim must know the Holy Scriptures. In the Quran Jesus Christ is the only sinless Person ever mentioned.
Mohhamed distorts what Christ taught and Islam does not hold true to where Mohhamed gets his "prophecy", the one and only Christian Bible.

Nope, Christianity and Islam does not have the same God. Jesus never said that it's ok to kill terrorists. He told his followers to "love thy enemies". The Christian God is alot different from the Islamic Allah. If my "god" told me to kill ppl of other religions other than to save them, then that that "god" would be the devil himself.

Because the Christian religion offers a savior, Jesus, the Son of God.
