Christianity: Love All, Forgive All, Show Mercy, Judge No-One. Islam? I am not qualified to say, I just read the news.
Definition of radical Christianity? A 72 year old nun who forgives her murderers and a Pope that does not condemn those that attack his church (I am not a Catholic).

A nun is killed. Tragic for sure and unacceptable. 100, 000 are killed in Iraq. Equally unacceptable. Whats the difference? One was done by states and the other by individuals. Why can't we condemn all the innocent deaths instead of just the ones that suit our cause? If you are pointing toward this nun as the difference between the two religions then why can't i point to Iraq and Afghanistan and the atrocities carried out by Christian Americans there? The reason i don't is because i know that isnt the preaching of Christianity and those people were following desires. Cant you give Muslims the same basic courtesy?

A muslim don't eat, touch or wear anything is made of pig. The reason is that under their reglion, pigs are dirty and they should not come close to them. Also if i'm not wrong, they cannot touch dogs.
Another difference, the Muslim go through fasting for a month where they eat and drink only before sunrise and after sunset. If they have to break the fast, they would have to pay back on another day after the fasting month ends.
They have to complete three sacred tasks in their life. One of which is to go the Jordan and be involved in the reglion process. Can't remember the other two.
They also have to pray seven time a day to a direction (which i can't remember the bearing, should be in the area of 270s). For fridays, near noontime, they would have to gather and pray together in a mosque (sort of like sunday church) Some islamic countries or states make friday a public rest day and makes up for it on saturday.
The biggest difference is that the Muslim male is allowed to take 4 wives. In Islamic states, they can also divorce their wives at will.
Oh ya, they are sort of ban from smoking, drinking and other vices which i don see them follow that closely....
I think that's all i can remember.

indexed below are lots of the important ameliorations: a million - Christians remember on a trinity God, Son, Father, and holy spirit. Muslims remember on a unmarried God that has no son, no father, and no holy spirit. 2 - Muslims holy day is Friday, Christians is Sunday. 3 - The Muslim holy e book (Quran) can in reality be in Arabic and it hasn't ever been replaced or altered. even if that's in a distinct language, then that's considered (translation of Quran, and there are a approach of of them). The Bible is on the marketplace in distinct languages and distinct variations. 4 - Christians trust that Jesus is a God, Muslims trust that Jesus changed into only a prophet like Mohammed. 5 - The Muslim prayers are non secular and actual, you pray with you ideas and body moves, in Christianity, its merely words (i imagine).

That news occurs after some statement of the Pope. It seems that the so-called Christians and Muslims appeared in the world news today are not the followers of Christ and Muhammad.
Christianity and Islam taught peace not war, love not hatred, life not death, forgiveness not revenge, unity not division, hope not desperation...
Oh, true believers of Christ and Muhammad, please give me convincing proofs that your religions are the religions of the One True God. Where are all of you, why don't you take this chance to open people's eyes to the great love of Almighty God?
Anyhow, human's vision is enlgihtened by God rather than by man.

Christ rose from the dead and muhamad is still in the grave,will never rise and to make things worse was eaten up by dogs.
Christ recreates the life of one that believes in him, muhamad does not at all.( Matthew 27:46; 28:1-18; 2 corithians 5:17; Romans 6:4)
The two as at now makes the difference. So believe in Christ and his saving power.

You would be hard pressed to find a group of Christians calling for a worldwide HATE DAY!!! Supposedly, tomorrow is hate day. I'm not making this up. What in blue blazes is goin' on, man? I want HAPPY DAY or LOVE DAY or even POLITE DAY would be nice. Technically, the main difference between the Christian and the Muslim is that the Muslim does not believe Jesus died on the Cross, and Christians do. But I get your point, why kill some innocent nun because of something she never even said? I'll tell you why, BECAUSE THE LUNATICS ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!!! Somebody, help me, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce, WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Muslims had "Muhammed" as their Teacher/Master/Prophet. Christians had Jesus. Both taught the same thing: that we should love one another, treat each other with respect, basically both taught the basic morals of life to the people at that time and that place. Both were the "Sons of God" just like you and me..I mean we are all the children of God, aren't we?
Oh yes and since we have different languages in this world- Christians use the name "God" where Muslims use "Allah"

The Muslims in Kosovo of Serbia are from Albania,but since they are the majority they want to take over it. Kosovo should never be relinquished to others because of religious affiliations. Bangladesh and Pakistan broke away from India because they were the majority,Islam. The US want to stop Hispanics and Latinos from arriving at the US because White America does not want to loose its majority and they want to control non-white people.

Please tell me what this has to do with the difference between Muslims and Christians? This just tells about some radical Muslim killing someone. Christians are so perfect, that they have no radicals?
The main difference in the two religions is that Christianity has the illogical viewpoint that G-d and Jesus are one. Jesus was not G-d. G-d is One.
