Yes, God is testing you...as He does with Muslims and everyone on this planet...
The test is:
Will you bury yourself in hate, dispise, and "kufr" (disbelief) in the God's last guidance to mankind before Judgement Day, as you begin to jump to conclusions, judge, and create lies and mis-information about Islam and Muslims?
How can Christians not see this?

Okay, let me re-phrase then...
" Do - some of the more judgemental -Christians not understand that when they judge all Muslims by a few, they are being tested?"
Is that better?

Good, some valid points from most of you...

Please be aware that I said "as He does with Muslims and everyone on this planet...",
The issue here is that "we are ALL being tested" regardless of what our religion is...

Generalizations and stereotypes are BAD... it leads people to jump to conclusions that are often erroneous.
Let's all just stop judging each other. Or if we can't do that, can we at least judge each individual on his or her words and actions?

How can a Muslim talk about hate. Don't you ever read the newspapers or watch TV ?
Is there a single Muslim who does not hate the Jews ? How about Americans ? Okay, the English, the Spanish, the Dutch ?
There is more hate in the Muslim world than all the rest put together. As if hateing foreigners isn't enough, the Sunnis hate the Shiites, the Turks hate the Kurds. Schools teach little kids to hate. Mosques teach hatred. Hate, hate, hate.
So how can Muslims jump to conclusions, judge, and create lies and mis-information about other religions ?
Why can Muslims not see this ?

So that is quite an statement/question. President Bush has said and has always said that it is a minority of Muslims that are terrorists. That is what most Americans believe to, or that is what I believe to be the case. But surely you agree that when there are Muslims that strap explosives to their bodies and kill innocent people, well then Muslims do have our attention. Tell me if this were Polish people doing these things wouldn't you be well aware of the Poles? If blonde haired, blued eyed Swedes were suicide bombers, I think you would take notice of all Swedes. I could be wrong.

As long as the Muslim populace stands back and lets terrorists and bigots speak for them, Christians will believe it is a Religion of violence and death threats. If you want people to start treating you like goo, peaceful people, shout down the imams and other leaders who call jihad against people who disagree with them, and tell them to stop saying Israel deserves to be blown off the face of the planet because of what one man did 5000 years ago. Stop living in the past, and step into the present. Why must you continue to blame people today for what their ancestors did in the past? We cannot change what out ancestors did, but we can stop our decedents from doing the same thing.

one million. Mr sunlight Myung Moon exchange into the chief of a cult with some weird and wonderful ideals and practices, although the internet web page would attempt to be academic, the an infection of cultism should be seen. 2. absolutely everyone seems to be possibly to believe some web page or different source that confirms ideals they already carry or are possibly to hold. in basic terms such as you're doing. 3. Islam like numerous religions has problems in a pair of the easy ideals, one million. there's a superb being 2. you are able to communicate with the superb being once you're a member of our team and not any others 3. we are in a position to kill you in case you're of yet another team or refuse to grant our team the honour we predict of we deserve or in case you disrespect our holy people/e book/words. that's why i feel free to declare your faith is a collection of crap like numerous the different religions that have faith they carry some specific potential over something people. word: and Wikipedia is so lots extra helpful than this NWEncyclopedia, and the justifications you assert the NWE is extra helpful are all bogus.

Oh I see this, and I do not hate all Muslims, few Christians do. That is why Muslims in the US are not widely Persecuted, their Mosques are not forcibly closed and they are free to preach in our Schools and our Prisons.
When I point out things within Islam that I do not agree with, it is not done with hate or anger.
Many responses I get from Muslims is in hate though.
Peace and God Bless you!

I agree that individual people should not be judged by what other people do.....but
think it depends on the criteria for judgement
they should look at
1. what you personally believe
2. what your religion and holy book teaches
3. your personal behavior..
4. your support or opposition to negative behavior of others.
For example, if you believe that murdering innocent people is justified to get land or revenge for someone's opinion, even if you have not done the murder, then your support for that murder would condemn you.... If you believe that the murder is wrong and oppose it, then your positive actions support you. Sometimes people are just evaluating your spoken opinions and behavior...This is also true of anyone evaluating other people's opinions and behavior as well...
We can all evaluate.. but we should come to a fair conclusion.

That is quite the generalization. You just made yourself guilty of what you accused Christians of. Some Christians seem to dislike Muslims, some Muslims dislike Christians, Lots of Christians and Muslims dislike Jews. And lot of Athests too.
I have met many lovely Muslims. I lived in Afghanistan and traveled in the Middle East and I loved it there and loved many of the people I met. I have met many Muslims who had a faith in God that made them feel a love for all humans as many Christians do.
Both Christians and Muslims are guilty of hate and belief in misinformation, like you are doing now.

Im Catholic. Not all Christians are like that. Really, not all, why do you have to address to ALL Christians? Real nice of you. No i am so not like that. And i dont think everyone else is like that. I know some Muslim people can be taking things up really bad, like what the pope said. I dont say all Muslims are like that.

All groups have a tendency to judge other groups by the vocal minority. Christians are no more represented by David Koresh than Muslims in general by Terrorist groups
