Dont take this as me being racist, but here's the thing. u no how just recently a cartoonist drew a picture depicting Muhammed? and a bunch of Muslims killed him and his family? well ppl talk about christianity and god and christ badly every day, but nothing happens in return. if religious faith rubs on how good of a person you are, does that make muslims better than christians? or does it just mean how proud they are. if so, why are christians not as "proud"? why won't they kill somebody for making fun of god? or for ultimately not being christian at all? is it considered religious persecution when the muslims killed that man who lived in Iraq who wanted to convert to Christianity? if so, is that ok in the muslim religion?

Step by step ...
Muslims didn't kill the Dannish cartoonist they boycotted danish products and held marches...
Muslims also don't Insult Jesus. I remember in the 90s the movie "Jesu of montreal" triggered Maches in Turkey because it insulted Jesus and it got banned from all arab states ...
Stand for what you beleive (peacefully). People have the right not to beleive in Jesus but I don't think they have the right to insult him ...
PS: Please don't talk about killing in Iraq ... hundreds of thousands are killed ( pasing the street is enough of an excuse ... being a 14 year girl was enough of a reason to be raped and killed with family an no bod seems to give a damn ....)

It's not that Muslims are more proud of their religion than Christians, it's about how each is taught to deal with situations. Christians are taught that man cannot make judgments on behalf of God. That every person has free will and is allowed to make their own decisions. Ultimately they will have to answer to God on the day of judgment.
Muslims converting to Christianity are seen as attacking the faith, or spreading mischief in the land. According to the Quoran, spreading mischief is punishable by murder, Crucifixion, a hand and a foot cut off on opposite sides of the body, or being thrown into jail. Also Islam is a "compulsory" religion. It's not up to you if you want to pray as in Christianity, but you must pray so many times a day and at certain times. True Christians are taught to turn the other cheek. Muslims are taught that in certain circumstances it's o.k. to respond with force.

Christians evolved and learned to love, muslims apparently learned to kill and hate. I'm sure its not all muslims, but the ones who get the publicity all are way into murder. I keep hearing that they're not all like that, but if so, why don't they stop it? They don't even try. If we were doing this, we'd be the ones to stop it. I think they have a different set of commandments than we have, maybe their wonderful Mohammed told them murder is just fine, as long as its not one of them, even though there's a commandment against it, not a suggestion, a commandment, it says "thou shalt not murder". They choose Mohammed over God, that's their choice.

The Crusades have been over for 1,000 years. Christians have learned to be tolerant. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Islam.

Actually, your comments are miss leading...
May you find God's grace!
BTW, it was the Catholic Church that did the crusades...and Islam is built on the model of the crusades (pretty sad).
