Who are more tolerant, christians or muslims?

Answer 1

In current history - Christians. In more distant history, it's a toss up.

Christians, these days, don't kill you for not sharing the same beliefs. Some followers of Islam will go so far as to kill those who don't share their faith.

Some examples:
- The Taliban in Afghanistan
- The Islamic militias in Somalia
- The genocide of Dafur ( Islamic Militias)
- Iran's calls for extermination of Israel
- The murder of Theo Van Gogh for his direction of a anti-Islamic movie called "Submission"

Answer 2

Both groups have their extremists and both groups have peace preaching people. With more than a billion of each it's impossible to say who is more tolerant. Christians have the KKK and Aryan Brotherhood and Muslims have the base (al qaida), hezbollah, hamas etcetera.

Just remember that for the most part people of any religion are mostly tolerant, but there are always some fundamentalist nut jobs that preach their way or the highway.

Answer 3

Neither. Each individual is going to be different. You have some who are tolerant on both sides and those who are not on both as well. You also have militants on both sides of the coin, but it seems that recently there are more militant Muslims, though that has not always been the truth.

Answer 4

Generally I find that Christians are so tolerant that they can even accept Trinity and slender against past Prophets.That the area where Muslim aren't.

Answer 5

Muslims, except when it comes to the issue of political control over a country. Christians are better at winning the hearts and minds.

Answer 6

There are very tolerant ones in every religion, and absolute idiots as well. Can't blame it on just a religion.

Answer 7

I believe true Christians are. We are to love the sinner but hate the sin. There are just too many "man made" rules in other faiths.

Answer 8

none will settle for whether they comprehend it. all of it shows from their questions crammed with animosity against muslims, doesnt it? in simple terms undeniable question. ever seen a muslim question or shame Jesus-pbuh and Mary-a.s? ever seen a single verse in Qu'ran that disgraces Jesus-pbuh and Mary-a.s? NONE. what proportion muslims who do no longer carry protests, who do no longer rally, who do no longer kill -- are shown with the aid of the biased media? NONE. out of one million.6 billion muslims interior the international u never situation some million.5 billion of the non violent ones. none bothers to work out those muslims who pray and supply charity, who help the community and who beleive in living in peace. as they say -- "splendor lies interior the eyes of the beholder"

Answer 9

visit a muslim country and find out..no one ther has any rights if they are non-muslim...iran is proposing that jews wear the yellow arm bands again... so they can be singled out..christians are tortured in muslim countries...
