How come Christians and Jews are not equally angry over Islam's
lie that the Bible is corrupted?
What example have they ever given to support their lies?

I am continually amazed at how angered they get if anyone does something they perceive as an affront to Allah, yet they think nothing of lying about the writings of Moses, the record of Jesus, and they completely miss the fact that the manuscripts of the Bible predate the koran by 540-740years(that is actual surviving manuscripts).
Where is the corruption Islam?

Muslims lie about the Bible? Why? Because they do not accept your viewpoint that Jesus was G-d? They do not accept the NT as you accept it. That is fine-each religion has it's own way.
Muslims have their own viewpoint of Abraham, Issac, and Ishmael. This is not the same viewpoint between Muslims and Jews. So? Does it matter? It is their beliefs and religion, and I have my own opinion and faith. Either way the meaning is the same, that Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to G-d.
Just because a religion does not believe as I do, I will not say they call me a liar. I just say they think differently than I do.
If you knew anything at all about Islam, you would understand the feelings on the cartoons. I must admit, the hysteria over it was uncalled for. But, remember, the ones who did this were mostly poor and uneducated people, who have little exposure to what and how the world acts. They were only seeing it as what their feelings would be if it was their own people who did it.
People were very upset over the Holocaust cartoons, too. But, it was mostly educated people who protested, and not in a hysterical way. We understood where the cartoons came from, and why. You cannot fight with tyrants on some issues.

The bible was written by different people at different times and the assembled together to bring all the cristians under one believe structure. This is doucmented history so I don't want to hear any arguments about that. Now compared to the Q'uran which was memroized by Mohammad (peace be to him) and taught to his people si actually the exact same teachings from their last great Prophet instead of stroies made by people anywhere from 50 to 150 years later after Jesus' death. That is why the bible is considered corrupted in my opinion and the fact that many of the verses i the bible was mistranslated from the original hebrew text, this is also a proven study. as for the cartoon, Muslims actually respect their religion enough to not take thier most beloved prophet and masecurade him in a demeaning way, lets say like how jesus is nailed to the cross. I'm sure if jesus was depicted in a manner christians wouldn't like they'd get mad too.

Of course the bible is corrupted. It's been translated hundreds of times, often by people with hidden agendas, and each time details are changed, added or left out. The bible you have now is, without a doubt, different from the way it was written originally, and that's what corrupted means. Also, the correct term is Muslims, not Islamists.

Who cares? What I want to know is why they riot over a cartoon but say nothing about the bombings, murders and destruction taking place around the world in the name of Islam. The "religion of peace"

Remember one thing. All cultures are different. What is valued as truth in our culture, may mean nothing somewhere else. Is it wrong? That is not for us to say. They say we are wrong. Being Americans does not make us right. Lying about the Bible? Jimmy Swaggart does, Jim Baker does, Robert Schiller does. Is it lying or is it a different interpretation. How do you know yours is the right interpretation?
It is forbidden in both Islam and Judaism to make images of holy things. God is holy, Muhammad is holy.
They are different. We are different.

Islamic laws are some of the more draconian of laws, and due to lack of freedom of expression through the centuries, Islam, unlike other religions, has remain the same barbaric, violent, and oppressive religion it has been since the days of Muhammed.

Many muslims are desert people. Their religion is all they have.
Don't underestimate the power of Islam. If we don't show mutual
respect to our world neighbors, it may be the force that will unite
the Arab world. That is something that has never happened, and we don't want to see. Not if they are angry.

They are allowed to lie to support their Country, to many thier Religion IS their Country, so they can lie about that.
Not ALL Muslims believe this way or act this way, some seem to though.
Peace!

Good question. I guess they get angry over cartoons the same way Christians get angry over books and movies. It's all entertainment and nobody forces you to see it.

I'm more worried about when they're going to blow something up than I am about the way they view the bible.
