You know when people think that the symbol of one religion might be offensive to members of another?
Can anyone's faith be so unsure and weak, that they have only to see some symbol of another faith to think, "oo-er, I'm wavering, I think I'm going to join the other lot"?

Well I would think twice before I wore a pentagram in my community. The Chrisitians' attitude is 'EEEK! It's different so destroy it!' 'SATAN runs them!' "We must erradicate SATAN!'

anyone who would be offended by a symbol of someone else's religion is narrow minded. But many times the other person is not wearing that as a symbol of their faith but just because they received it from someone special or even just because they like it. As for Muslims in places like Saudi Arabia many of them are not strong in their faith. As children they were taught this is the only religion and they have never examined their reasons for believing this way. they are not taught other beliefs or religions so that they can defend their own faith. They are also taught to accept everything they are told and they were never taught in many cases to think for themselves. They only know this is their religion. They accept Islam but they fail to see the true beauty in it because they have never examined and compared it.

this world has become too politically 'correct'. I joined the Christmas decorating committee of my church and was told that we could not put up a Nativity scene in one hall because it was used as a banquet hall and rented out to groups of other faiths. Said it might offend them. Ridiculous! If I was to go in a Jewish Synogoge or a Muslim temple not only would I expect to see their religious symbols, but it certainly would not bother me at all! Stand up for all faiths! Everyone has the right to display their faith - ESPECIALLY in their place of worship.

Wrong Obilee!!! In many Islamic Countries, wearing a Christian is offensive.
Try building a christian church in Saudi Arabia.
Then in the US and other western countries, Muslims are free to practice their religion...how unfair.

Actually true believers of god know that all religions are aimed at the common goal, The Almighty. So, what's the problem?

Yes, not all of us have strong faith.
