Do Muslims take their religion and beliefs more seriously than Christians?

Question

Lets forget for a minute about terrorists .....both christian and muslim....just talk about the real believers of each faith

Answer 1

There are more People in the World who call them selves Christians then the people who call themsevles Muslims but there are more practising Muslims in the World than the Practising Christians.

It was a study done by Some scholar in America....

You can have a living example on Fridays.... More Muslims join Mosques on Fridays then Christians whoo join Churches on Sundays.

Answer 2

Like Judaism, Islam is more a way of life that can't be separated from all the ordinary day to day things.
It seems to me that you can be a Christian with discretion nowadays. We have gone beyond burning any one who looks or acts like a non-conformist. I'm not a Christain - but a stranger would never know either way. My "Christian values" are reflected in the way I live my life, without any overt religious input.
Islam in comparison is totally in your face, praying 5 times a day will always keep your faith in the foreground. When it influences your clothes, food, employment, punishment, marriage, social life and education, then it has to be taken seriously.
Look at what happens when a Muslim woman falls for the wrong man? In many cases I'm sure the disappointed parents get over it, but on the other hand, you could have your throat slit by your Dad and your brothers, with the approval of your Mother.
Islam is, like all religions open to interpretation and at war with itself. It reminds me of brutal Medieval Christianity. We have passed through that phase - will Islam follow in time?

Answer 3

that is a misleading question. in the first place, you have to qualify your meaning of 'Christians'. a person may be labeled generally a 'Christian' if he was born a Catholic or Protestant etc. however, that is because that is the religion he was born into. That is why we have the 'born again' Christians -- these are the ones who CHOOSE and have decided to follow Christ and live by God's Word. the born-again Christians are the ones that take Bible seriously and try to live their lives according to what God's Word says. in this respect, the difference seems to be born again Christians choose to follow their beliefs seriously because of the right motivations because they choose to have a relationship with Jesus while other 'Christians' do not take their faith seriously either because of ignorance (nobody has shared what it means to be a Christian) or too humanistic views in the environment they're in. Muslims do take their religion and beliefs seriously because they have no choice....their faith is inculcated in their way of life, you cannot separate their faith from establishing their socio-political-economic laws and statutes. Some Muslims do so (take their religion seriously) out of fear of death more than love of God and fellowman. On the other hand, born again Christians choose to love God by living by His Word even to the point of death.

Answer 4

Yes. Islam is a more educated religion. Christians go by blind faith. If it says it in their bible it doesn't matter if they understand it or not. It's impossible to converse with a christian about religion they throw out bible quotes and when you ask an interpretation of it they respond with "Don't question the bible!" My Holy Quran has the answers to any questions. It outlines perfectly the what you should and should not do. No confusing like the Bible with the new and old testament.

Answer 5

sure, on the final Supper the people who compiled the bible have been Catholics. the people who wrote the Scriptures that went into the bible have been Jews. The Pope ordered Jerome to assemble scripture right into a e book to end heresies that have been taking drugs around Western Christendom. This became accomplished interior the previous due 4th century. No, the bible became compiled AFTER Constantine switched over and made Christianity legal. Constantine had no longer something to do with a) the business enterprise of Christianity or the creation of the bible. The bible stayed a similar for 1200 years till the Protestants bumped off books from it to greater wholesome their time table(s). No, of direction no longer! The Catholic Church became based by utilising Jesus till the final Supper. So it in certainty consisted of the Apostles. How could they have given any ok whilst they have been being pursued for arrest and death to boot? it incredibly is an absurd question. no person worships the Pope. it incredibly is absurd to boot. surely we don't comprehend that people who compiled the bible did no longer purposely exchange what Jesus pronounced. via fact the KJV got here from that bible, you have been utilising those self same scriptures, different than that all of us comprehend the Protestants bumped off books from the unique. So, the KJV became purposely altered. we will not have an prepared Christian faith with a clean expertise of the bible and no disagreements via fact Protestants refuse to settle for the single authentic faith, based by utilising Jesus. besides, they carry forth, and characteristic been preaching, lies against us, ie "worshiping the Pope." How stupid is that?!

Answer 6

Yes we do take our religion much more seriously,our life is so much organized and so much sweet under the umbrella of this wonderful religion; We pray five times a day,we fast at least one month a year and we go to Mecca once a year when Its possible.

Answer 7

In Muslim dominated contries (where the majority is muslim), a theocracy is quickly put into place, and Islam is the mandated religion. If you don't adhere to it; you die. It's a pretty convincing incentive. However, despite threats on their life, constant arrests and beatings, some people in these countries claim Christ as their savior. decide for yourself.

Answer 8

Yeah because we pray everyday so our religion is involved in our everyday life more, thats for an ordinary believing Muslim, usually Christians are less involved in their religion everyday, unless they are religious.

Answer 9

Yes i think so, for example in islam, sex before marriage is not permitted, this is the same case with christians (isnt it?) yet more christians lose their virginity before marriage than muslims.

Answer 10

Sounds like it....just a couple of hours ago they were accusing and I quote "99% of people using yahoo! answers" of being racist towards all muslims.... Shame, bless their cotton socks (NO Offense)
