For those that claim that radical Christians are not the same as radical Muslims, what do you think of this?

Question

It is a Quote from Jesus Camp by Becky Fischer: It's no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have... excuse me, but we have the truth!

Answer 1

I think that any radical group no matter what religion, political association, or racial affliation is capable of the same violent acts. Those groups are obviously past the point of reason and are willing to do anything to promote their message. I think that all radical groups should be subdued and watched very closely, including radical Christians.

Answer 2

First things first, In the Islam religion God says in the Koran
"any body that kills one innocent man it like he killed all mankind"
He did not specify what religion this man is or what country he is from , in Islam you can even step on an aunt on the ground for no reason there for this people killing other people for no reason they are not Muslims they are groups of politician including Bin laden which there is proof that he works with the CIA , but as far as the suicide bombers the Jewish started it in England a longtime ago and the Japanese did it a longtime ago " kamikaze " it means you die and kill other people with you.Thank you any questions don't hesitate to ask me.

Answer 3

What do you think this war on terror is all about?? We have thousands of young men & women risking their lives so that people can believe & worship their own way. It would be nice if everyone in the world were Christian, but in this country we don't believe in killing those who don't believe as we do. You can't convert people by force. Perhaps some of the islamics are brainwashed & therefore radical, but so are some Christians! I think tolerance & understanding other's circumstance is neccessary for both sides. Strapping on explosives & blowing ourselves up to kill innocent people would certainly not be very "Christian" in my opinion!

Answer 4

Its easy to clip sections out of context. You can make it sound how you want it to sound.

The woman is not saying anything about Christian children going out and blowing themselves up - but to have a dedication to the religion of Jesus Christ.

Muhammad permits brutality - Jesus does not. So radical Islam says its okay to blow your kids up for Allah. Radical Jesus followers taking Jesus teachings to the extreme would be non violence and to be willing to lay down your life - in other words if a Muslim says "I will kill you if you do not convert to Islam" a devout Christian would say - "I choose Jesus - kill me if thats what you want, but I will not convert to Islam!"

THAT my friend is what she is talking about. You are taking this out of context. Get a life and find something more valid to use your time on. You're a Jesus hater and you set looking to twist people's words up to make a point that does not exist.

Answer 5

well i think it depends on whom you are killing , if are blowing up urself in some soldiers like the Israeli ones , it's OK then but if are doing it to civilians then that is Radical , Israelis aren't civilians , all of the Israeli ppl are armed up and trained to use guns and all of these stuff to kill and hurt Palestinian and speaking the fact of them stealing their land is a bad thing already , for example i would do anything to kick back those who kicked me out of my house ,, including killing myself ..
Muslims do just blow up themselves like that , they do it for a reason ,, and a very imp. reason , they do it because they are desperate and they have no other way ...like it's their last weapon and I'm speaking here specifically about Palestinians other wise it's being radical ,and what's with all of the Ppl generalizing when it comes to Muslims and it's always individual case when it comes to Christians and others ,, that is just being races and unreasonable , ppl must educate themselves more about Islam and stop being idiotic , i am for example a Muslim and have never seen a gun in my whole life !! or ever seen a guy holding one ..

Answer 6

The way the small percentage of Evangelical Christians worship in that movie is definitely strange and not for me. Am I afraid of that group because their leaders encourage them to stand outside the supreme court and pray to end abortion and to vote for people who support ending abortion? No not at all. Am I afraid of Muslims who strap bombs to themselves and fly planes into buildings with the intention of killing people just because they don't adhere to their religion? Yes very much.

Answer 7

I must be missing something....where does she say, go out and kill as many innocent people as possible?

Look - in any large group of people, you're going to have your share of freaks and nuts. But until "radical Christians" start blowing themselves up and killing innocents, I'm not buying.

Have a nice day.

Answer 8

By your answer you wish to direct the misguided youth to the ways of Christ. To be unafraid to say "I believe in him, treasure his gifts and will openly speak of him in his defense. The day for laying down ones life for God will come. Yet will be as sacrifice - Only the strong in faith will be able to fall for his name. It shall not be by the blade he fights , but by his devotion and willingness to refuse to turn away from God even in the face of immanent death. There will be a day when eyes are opened and on that day it will be the last for the blade.

Your point will fall upon deaf ears and those who simply want 2 points.

Answer 9

So what is her message in context? How many murdering Christians does she have in her following? I think the message of Jesus Christ was that we should live peaceable lives if at all possible and give people the choice...

Answer 10

One thing to think about is the old saying is just because there is one bad apple doesn't mean the whole bunch is bad.
