Do you consider that the christian right and Islamic extremists are different sides of the same coin????

Question

Please explain you answer with details.

Answer 1

Yes. Both are fanatical in their beliefs and seek to force those beliefs on anyone and everyone.
The main difference really would be the christian right buy politicians to push their agenda on the people and the Islamic extremists just blow up things until people do what they want.

Any form of organized religion is simply a tool to control people.

Answer 2

Only if you engage in the false premise of moral equivelancy. The Christian right certainly has a values outlook different from secular progressives. What the CR does not do is force at gun point it's values on others. The CR doesn't seek to establish a theocracy upon the US, but does try through the ballot box to shape laws more compatabe with it's values. The CR doesn't strape bombs to thier children and have them kill nonbelivers in spectacular suicides. The CR doesn't seek to subvert governments and use those nations in which they succeed as a base to expand a greater CR world. The CR doesn't use it's sunday services to preach that all nonbelivers should be killed, or that democracy is incompatable with it's teachings, The CR doesn't preach that women are subhuman who's sexuality needs to be hiden under a bed sheet, and that women need to undergo genital mutilation to be pure. On the whole comparing the CR whose views may be seen as extream to the anything goes crowd with islamics who belive they have the perfect religion and the perfect culture with the perfect right to kill you if you disagree is rather foolish

Answer 3

not at all.
How many Christians have blown themselves up in crowded places?
How many Christians have flown an airplane into a skyscraper?
Do you know of any that have gone on a rampage with AK47s?
Let me remind you of the Bible verse that says:
WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL.
This is what today's liberals are doing.
ISLAM IS EVIL.
CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD.
Get it straight
I know that what I just said is not going to be very popular and it might give a few folks the koniptions... I don't give a crap about what people say... it's the truth.

Answer 4

Kinda, yes, I do. I get a kick out of the "Christian" right (though spelling it with a lower case "c" is faster to the point) insisting that Catholics are not Christians and that we are going to hell because we don't consider the Bible as the Word of God, which can't be farther from the truth. Both those that you mention believe that either you agree with them in total, or your are wrong, and worse, evil. So far, the christian right hasn't decided to kill----yet. (I'm a Catholic Republican, btw.)

Answer 5

Fundamentalists are fundamentalists, whether they be Christian, Islam, Jewish, Atheist, or any other religion. All beliefs can be frightening when the people become obsessive and dangerous.
On the flip side of that, there are healthy-minded people in each religion as well.

Answer 6

Not necessarily. Right-wing Christian EXTREMISTS are the same thing as Islamic extremists, though.

Any group calling for the death of anyone who doesn't believe its tenets is dangerous.

Answer 7

Pretty much. More people have died in the name of religion (All religions) than any other cause. Extremists and idealogs are everywhere. Even the Catholic Pope supported Hitler in WWII.

Answer 8

I am a Christian and I see huge diff. For one I don't know of any Christian org. Who has declared death to the infidel Muslim population. I have not seen one single TV commercial where a group of us has gathered up chanting "DEATH TO MUSLIMS" "DEATH TO THE MONGREL SWINE FORNICATING MUSLIMS."
Or my favorite KILL THEM ALL IN THE NAME OF GOD.
I know of no Christian doctrine that says Kill your self and you will be given 72 virgins. We don't believe that heaven is a big sex filled orgy fest. Just a couple differences.

Answer 9

No, I don't.

"Christian right" people are not Jihadists. They tolerate non-believers, respecting the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of the free exercise of religion. Islamic extremists don't even HAVE a rule of law which guarantees the free exercise of religion.

And "Christian right" people usually (not necessarily 100% of them, but most of them) support Israel. In that sense, "Christian right" people are the OPPOSITE of Islamic extremists.

Answer 10

No not at all. I have yet to hear of any gossip, rumor, or innuendo that Christians are killing and beheading you for not converting. Christians practice tolerance at least until the intolerant Islamic extremist have pushed us to the limit of survival.
