Users of this line seem content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists. Yet, in the US, there have been more shootings, bombings, arsons, and assaults caused by those who call themselves Christians, than there ever have by Muslims.
If it's correct to assume that all Muslims are terrorists because of the misguided acts of a few extremists, can we also assume that Christianity is a religion of terrorists?
FYI: I am neither Christian or Muslim, and think that such assumptions are deplorable and am disgusted by the bigoted responses I am seeing on here.

Christianity has a long history of converting people "by the sword". Just because they've decided in recent years that talking people to death is a better way to convert them doesn't mean that they don't have a long and violent history. As for users of this line seeming content with accepting that any and all Muslims are terrorists, it's been my observation that most of the people who use this line are incredibly narrow-minded and blind to anything beyond what they believe, so are you really surprised that they'd rather stereotype all Muslims than hear an honest depiction of another religion?

I am a Christian and I have never done such acts and I have never said that *ALL* Muslims are terrorists when I was in the US Army I met muslims who were very kind and were not terrorists, however the percent that are is not as small as you may think (and those 'Christians' that commit such acts, are forgiven and it is not an unbelievers place to condem those that do believe).

Yes, I think you are right. If you're going to use the line that Muslims are terrorists cause of some of the things they have done then definately we should say the same thing of Christians. Unfortunately you have fanaticism in any religious group. Its just people accept it from Christians more, I guess, because our country is based on Christianity. Although I don't agree with this. Fanatics are bad no matter what religious group they belong to.

I agree, religion as a whole seems to be an excuse or a reason to feed intolerance. It's just one more reason people use to argue with eachother and even kill each other because if you're doing it in the name of god (which ever one you may believe) then it can't be all wrong. Sounds like the work of the devil to me...suffer through the hope of false profits. Keep praying people, you'll get it someday

I agree with you about the one-sided responses people give about Muslims (I am not a Muslim either). However, terrorism is not a religious thing, is about tactics. By the way Muslims did not give birth to terrorism.
I know you did not say that, I just want to share that with the others that may read this.

Once again, here we go assuming that being American automatically equates to being Christian. No so, my friend. And check out your facts again. Your math doesn't add up. When has an American, Christian or otherwise, strapped a bomb to their body and blew it up in a public place where there are women and children? Since you are disgusted by bigoted responses, then stop asking disgusting bigoted questions and be fair to all.

We can not say any religion that it is a religion of terrorists. These are the acts of extremists who mke others think that this or that religion is the religion of terrorists.Both Islam and Christanity say their people to remain peaceful,say prayer to Allah,don't tell lie, don't harm others and live your lives as brothers.

The big problem is that if you want to be a good Muslim, the Koran makes it very clear that all of the infidels (read: non-Muslims) need to be cleansed from the earth.
Now, I am not going to say that Christians are not hypocrites (99.99% are) but unfortunately, there are only two ways to be a Muslim in the US: Kill Christians and everyone else, or be a hypocrite.

Though I'd imagine it's true, I'd have to do some research to determine if there really has been more violence by Christians than Muslims in the US. Of course, that does not make them all terrorists. But you're expecting Christians to use reason and logic, which escapes them (to make a generalization).
