Churches in Islamic countries?

Question

Why do those who are anti-Islam and would like to see all Muslims (including innocent little babies, how psychotic can one be?) dead keep stating that there is not a single church in any Islamic country? If that's true, then what explains all of the churches I saw for myself in Pakistan, NOT burned, all fine, Christians free to worship as they chose? And what explains these pictures of Pakistani churches? A friend of my former in laws was Christian. She and my mother in law were very close. As far as I know, she still is in touch with the family. She was one of the first to see my daughter and hold her when I arrived that second time. So why do many like to say that all Christians get murdered there and all churches get burned?

Answer 1

I live in Egypt ,10% Christians .There are many Churches here .this churches enough to them to worship.but in Fridays , you see Muslims pray in streets cause Mosques don't enough to us and Muslims respect Christians and treat them well as brothers and sisters

Answer 2

After going through the comments of our Christian brothers/sisters,i noticed that either they don't have the knowledge about the history of Islam or intentionally they pass the bias,hatred and funny comments on this forum.There are churches all over the Muslim countries except Saudi,because this is the sacred place for Muslims as Vatican city is sacred place for Christians. Before you criticise Islam you should study Quran,the last and final divine book of all previous divine books''old and new testament''.Allah bless and guide us to the straight path.Amen

Answer 3

Pakistanis have more respect for churches and temples of hindus. Many mosques are attacked by terrorists but they never attacked any church in the history. All churches are in the prominent place of centre of cities. Beside this Syria, Turkey and all muslim countries where there is christian population there are churches. In Saudia and Gulf there is no single christian resident so there is no church but there gathering is allowed.

Answer 4

To all who are against Islam....

The media always sells a news!

This is for Julia Jet...

Answer 6

Christians don't want to see anyone dead but the criminals and even they could be forgiven if they give up and realize that God loved men enough to send his son to die for their sins and if they follow Jesus be saved. Even the Qu'ran recognizes Jesus as born of a virgin and able to raise the dead they just forget the death and Resurrection that make God's offering of unwarranted salvation available to those that follow Jesus. A God that want us to call him father and was willing to sacrifice his son... definitely not the Muslim God.

Now let's see. Saudi Arabia there's a strong Muslim country... you can get arrested for just owning a Bible or cross.

Now for Pakistan...not in all part but the Muslim radicals seem to have free run in the North and west... let's check ou the news.

From the BBC news..
Pakistan Christians demand help
Priest Pram Samuel shows the letter ordering Christians to convert to Islam
The warning has terrorized Christians in Charsadda
Christians in north-west Pakistan are demanding government protection following threats of bomb attacks if they do not become Muslims.

Two young Christian girls were kidnapped from their homes by Muslims in the city of Faisalabad in recent weeks, according to an August 22 report from Asia News.

Armed Muslims Attack Christians
Christians injured in the attack
On the evening of June 17, approximately forty Muslim men armed with guns, axes and wooden sticks attacked several believers while they were preparing for an evangelistic meeting at a Salvation Army church in the village of Bismillahlpur Kanthan, 20 miles from Faisalabad. According to a June 20 report from Compass Direct, seven Christians were injured and the church was desecrated.

Christian Murdered by a Muslim
Patras Masih was shot and killed in Lahore in the early morning of June 27. According to a July 23 report from Sharing Life Ministry Pakistan, Masih was working overtime at a factory when he received a cell phone call. When he went to the main gate to meet with a Muslim colleague, he was gunned down. According to Masih's father, the Muslim man had pressured Masih to convert one month prior to his death.

Christians Receive Death Threats in Pakistan
In early August, Christians in the city of Peshawar, northern Pakistan, received dozens of letters from Muslims that threatened them with death by suicide bombing if they did not convert to Islam.

Sounds like they are trying to create another Saudi Arabia and drive everyone out.... Egypt is going that way fast too!

Answer 7

Your absolutely right their are Christian communities in Islamic nations. And most of the time they are treated humanly, but they are certainly not treated equally.

If you think I am incorrect I would like you to name a single non-Muslim community in a Islamic country that has grown in population.

I find it odd that in every muslim nation non-muslims are leaving. Why is that?

Answer 8

There're churches in My Muslim Country.

Answer 9

Fanatics are fanatics, regardless of creed or color.

We should all just come together as one people, the human race. Then we should all make me a sandwich.
