Christians act as though terrorism is an "All-Musslim" idea, yet look at Christian terrorist groups like "Army of God" and "God Hates Fags." Its not an "All-Christian" idea, but just a GROUP of radicalists who believe "You shall not Murder" and "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself" translates into discriminating and massacring those that Christians find as sinners who do not even have any impact on our own lives.

Mohamed was a prophet who preached tolerance and temperance. The religions of the world share these themes. It is the people who interpret these teachings, who would corrupt his works. Religion is about faith. Faith is one of the most moving characteristics of human beings. When people supplant or misinterpret the teachings, terrible things can happen. No one religion can place blame; all have sinned out of fear, greed and anger. From the crusades of the Middle Ages, to terrorism today. A small minority within a group of people interpreted the messages of faith toward ignoble, immoral and self serving ends. We must work to understand the peaceful majorities of these religions. Only by understanding does a greater peace arise

You just aint real sure what you're sayin are ya? Neither is anybody else.
Hear this though, yes there have been groups of people through the ages that did unspeakable things to others in the name of Christianity. That was wrong,that was then and this is now. I did not live when those things were going on but I am alive now and anyone can tell that even if all muslims are not terrorists, all terrorists are Muslims. If you are trying to white-wash what the Islamic world is doing right now,give it up. You don't have a leg to stand on bub.

Because the latter end of the Quran commands Muslims to kill unbelievers wherever they find them. These commands are understood my many Muslims scholars to overide other commands to live a peace with unbelievers. Muslims who wage holy war are more consisent with their religious text than the moderates. Whereas professing Christians who identify themselves as an Army of God or declare God hates fags are acting against the text they claim to follow. By the way, where in the world are these Christians that adhere to the Bible massacring those they find as sinners. That is a gross error. Dont tell me...you mean the Crusades. Lesson in critical thinking: the behavior of professing Christians who lived centuries ago and acted contrary to Scripture cannot be used to define present day Christians who act in accord with the Bible. In order to judge present day Christians, you have to base your judgement on the behavior of present day Christians.

I know and you are right. I think the generalization comes from the extremist calls to all Muslims to come against Jews and Christianity. These statements are real, and made often, but it's only the extremist that do this. most Muslims want to live their lives in Peace, and don't care with what we do in our own lives. But, I must admit it gets pretty scary now-a-days to wonder if that Arab looking person over there is with us or against us. Granted 9999 times out of 10000, they are normal hard-working people. but, it's the small percent that doesn't necessarily scare us, but make us question.

It is a simple matter of numbers in todays society. Muslims are responsible for most acts of terrorism if you dont count the war in Iraq...We as Americans are responsible for over 170000 civilian deaths....more than the terrorists combined for a long time. We may not have killed them ourselves but we started it.
Religious fanatics of all types are all dangerous because they believe they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Look towards the media and that explains it all . Anti Muslim garbage is every where in the us but even in the heights of abortion clinic bombing there wasn't such hatred towards the Christians blowing up the clinics and hurting people . But Muslims that have nothing to do with any act of violence are be persecuted in the usa .

Because they don't read their own bible, wherein jesus himself considers women as dirt, that her very birth is a loss, and that racism is nice little thing which can be used in the process of dashing babies heads against rocks in praise of God. Don't believe me? Here are the links.

Birth of any female is a loss: Ecclesiasticus 22:3 "....and the birth of ANY daughter is a loss" (From the New Jerusalem Bible. It's a Roman Catholics Bible).

Hosea 13:16 (New Living Translation) - The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords."
Hosea 13:16 (King James) Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
At least the "muslim" terrorists try targeting adult invaders. The christians in their own bible are ordered to dash innocent babies against rocks and kill innocent pregnant women. How much more cowardly can you get? How much of a fight can a pregnant woman or a baby put up? That is pretty cowardly to me.

same could be said for atheist whom think people are stupid for believing in a god or any kind of spirituality for that matter. For christians, to answer your questions, is to live by a strict but strangely enough very flexable code. Ive never heard GOD him/her self say he hates gays or muslims or anything for that matter, its peoples opinion and it happens to be the majority in this case. I dont care, i have my own sins to worry about, i have no time to judge others when they could easily turn around to judge me

God was the first terrorist. Anyone who says otherwise has clearly not read the Bible. Fear Him. Or go to Hell. Can any mortal terror even START to compare with that?
