let me start of there are many cases in the states of imams sexually abusing yes there is most likley more Catholic cases but that's not the point though the point is; isn't that the same thing as some christians blaming islam for all those muslims who commit terroist attacks ... if a christian does blame a muslim theyll say another muslims should not represent the entire religion of Islam isn't that being kind of a hypocrite? This isn't directed to all muslims just the ones who say this about the Church.

Isn't that the same as calling Islam a violent religion because some Muslims commit crimes?
I haven't seen any Muslims criticize Catholicism myself, for that very reason I stated above, but I don't doubt it happens. But can you compare to me the number of non-Muslims on here (be it Catholic, Baptist, Atheist, Agnostic, Hindu, ets) that have said such things about Islam compared to Muslims who have said such about Catholicism? It's astounding the ammount of ignorance a person can have that makes them say such things out of fear of what they don't know.

The religion cannot be termed evil on the basis of what the followers of religion do. There has to be this distinction, which is more important when it comes to muslims because most of the people ascribe things to Islam on the basis of what few muslims are doing today.
Anyways, catholicism as a religion does have wrong things, for example, they associate Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) and Mary (peace be upon her) as partners with God, which is the biggest sin any human can ever commit.
Qur'an says:
Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (4:48)

wait a minute. i am a muslim myself and never said that, neither i heard a muslim saying it either?
actually many christians i have met so far are kind, and respected my belief, regarding what some few priests do, that does not represent christianity, it just a normal human behavior of many years holding sexual argue and has nothing to do with christianity, i know that.

Catholics are evil for a lot more reasons than just molesting children, how about bowing down to statues, and even having statues in the first place. Calling a priest father. Forbidding to marry. Talking to the dead, praying to Mary, when scripture says there is only one mediator between God and Man the man Christ Jesus. Just to name a few.

The Catholic church is evil for allowing it to continue, protecting abusing priests and trying to cover it up. The Catholic church cares more about its reputation and getting money into its collection plates that it does about its congregation.

Neither religion should be judged by the actions of extremists or those who are violating dogma... For example, were an American to advocate fascism, one could not accuse Americans of being Fascists.

It's not just some of the Muslims who call your faith evil, it's the whole world --- protestants, jews, hindus, sikhs, agnostics, atheists -- absolutely every group has some people in it calling you guys evil.

Your question is incoherent. Anyway, you are probably more than aware that there are examples of wrongdoers in every stratum of society, including religion. You are simply being antagonistic in a kind of underhanded way.

Weird... that's the first I've heard of this.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could all stop generalizing about each others' religions based on the actions of a few members?
