As a Christian, I feel that I am threatened by the Muslim culture/relition...I am trying on a daily basis to live a Christian life. I feel that I am kind to people, that I am doing the job that God has called me to do. Why should I feel threatened for my beliefes within the Muslim community?

2 Timothy 1:7...
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
If God be for us, who can be against us ? Romans 8: 31
Pray.

I think a more interesting question is why you feel threatened? Have you actually been threatened? Have you been attacked or had someone verbally or physically abuse you? If not, perhaps you should seek to learn more about the Muslim culture and religion, trying to love thy neighbors. That and be thankful that you're christian in a society where christianity is acceptable; instead of being, say a Muslim or a pagan or another socially "unacceptable" religion.
BTW, I'm not trying to sound judgemental of Muslims, I've had people be verbally abusive to me for being pagan.

Being Christian means you are intolerant, violent, unforgiving, and completely in the dark about truth.
I think what you mean is that you are afraid of the extremist Muslims. I am personally afraid of any extremist belief-pattern. The Muslims I know are gentle and caring people. However none of them are extreme/fundmentalist in their views. I think you need to differentiate between the two categories.

No need tgo feel threatened. Learn to love the individual not the group. Pray for all to seek his Holy guidance in their hearts. The rest will Follow.

I am not sure that you should feel threatened...However, most religions are threatened by the beliefs of other religions. It is natural to fear what you don't understand.

faith based beliefs are weak. People with faith are always fearful. That's why they're the first ones to protest, start wars and accuse someone of being the devil

My guess is because they are discriminating against you, and you notice it.
