Christians, come here?

Question

if you say that the terrorists are muslim, how about hitler? there are alot more Christian killers. Your people kill innocent people too. We do not provoke a fight. All our attacks are anger. You invade our country and act like its yours. We are nice but yet you take advantage

Answer 1

It might have something to do with the terrorists yelling 'Allah akbar' (Allah is great!) as they blow themselves (and others) up. It might have something to do with terrorist videos and Internet sites showing them all bowing down in prayer 5 times a day, facing Mecca. It might have something to do with extremist Imams at mosques preaching sermons in the name of Allah to encourage jihad etc.

But I take your point and gladly acknowledge that very few Muslim people are terrorists and that good Muslims find them abhorrent. Yet please reconsider your statements, 'All our attacks are anger. You invade our country...' etc. All terrorism is anger, retaliation for this, that or something else, real or imagined. If Islam understood the teachings of Jesus Christ, about forgiveness and that he came to pay the price for our sins, there would be no theological ground for the terrorists to base their reasoning upon. Yet you cannot consider Christ because your religion tells you the gospel he proclaimed has been lost! You can only discover Jesus by reading the Christian Greek scriptures. Do that, and you will learn that nobody who kills innocent people can be blessed by God until they have repented of this sin and put their faith in Christ for forgiveness.

Answer 2

Well my friend, and if you are peaceful then you are my friend. Your question was very well put. Especially the comment about Hitler. Hitler was a madman who caused the deaths of tens of millions of people. Had Germany been invaded and Hitler stopped before he grew to strong--history would have been different. The reason we are in your country is because a violent tyrannical madman who had attacked his neighbors was not allowed to continue. Simple--the world learned from history. Innocent people are killed in any war. If your anger attacks stopped and you concentrated on practicing a religion of peace--and sought to make your country a good place for everyone--we would not be there--there would be no need.

Answer 3

Hitler adored Nietsche who taught that God was dead, this is of course not a Christian belief. I think there are way too many muslim terrorists out there, and that your energy would be better spent trying to get your own brothers to understand that islam is peace. If you can do that, I think you'll find everyone else's perception of islam changing.

But it's really just a matter of time before the many prophecies about millions of muslims coming to Christ are fulfilled, so don't worry. This too shall pass.

Answer 4

No, I wouldn't say that Hitler was Muslim. Nor would I be so naive as to generalize the war in Iraq as a war against all Islam.

Don't be confused into thinking that I support the Iraq war. I don't. I think it was a huge mistake, both politically and morally. But don't be confused that I see the Americans as "bad" and all Muslims as "innocent victims". We both know that radical Islam is a serious problem for everyone. Stop acting like it's not and then you may see fewer US troops in your neighborhood.

Answer 5

You say that you do not provoke a fight and then say that your attacks are done out of anger. What kind of justification is that? "Your cartoon depicting Mohammed made me angry so I am justified in killing the cartoonist." What kind of sense is that? "We are nice...you take advantage." Who is taking advantage? Our country freed Iraq from an evil dictator and Iran is causing/supporting the infighting in Iraq, so who is taking advantage? Hitler was not a Christian! He spoke as if he were so people would follow him, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Answer 6

This question solves nothing and spreads anger. 15000 Christians died in muslim controlled states last year alone just for being there so do not cast the image of love and acceptance. Christian woman are raped without reprocussion, our churches are burned and our ministers and workers are slaughtered under a shroud of mystery.

As far as Christians all being kind and welcoming the central tenet is to love God and our neighbours as ourselves so in the event that a genecidal maniac like hitler does what he does obviously is a direct violation of everything Christianity stands for and he is equally condemned by Christian, Jew, Muslim and atheist alike!

Answer 7

If christians ever killed, it was not because jesus told them to kill. When muslims kill they are fulfilling the words of mohammed, the koran, and Allah. Even if a christian kills in the name of jesus or in the name of the bible, it would not matter, because Christ never said Kill people. On the other hand the prophet mohammed once said, Fight those who do not believe in allah and his prophet. (sahih bukhari Kitab-al-iman:24) In islam they say "Aslim taslim"= Be muslim, and be safe. Convert or die is Your motto. Don't talk about invading lands. Muslims practically invaded the entire middle east, arabized, and islamized it. The M.E was never muslim, before mohammed. You occupied it, converted it's inhabitants, killed them off for the sake of allah. Allahu Akbar.

Answer 8

human beings are human beings, with various skills. Christianity is likewise a "huge church" reflecting many diverse suggestions and interpretations. And Christians variety from people who experience compassion for people who have not chanced on the way, to those who think of that people who don't have faith yet behave properly may well be "saved", to those with intense ideals that yet another guy or woman's loss of ideals or differing ideals won't in common terms mean their very own condemnation, yet will convey down divine retribution on the completed community or perhaps the international. So some could have the pressing could desire to castigate people who've perspectives that variety from theirs. or perhaps much less intense believers, and non-believers, have lapses (who's right?). for my section, i think of people to this talk board are generally charitable, in spite of our imperfections.

Answer 9

Hitler was an Orthodox Catholic. Catholicism has expanded the term "Christian" to other religions, and labeled true Christians as "Protestants".

Answer 10

So, we should just all continue killing each other and justify it by pointing fingers and saying, "They did it first!"

Yes, people have died in the name of religion. The question is, when is it going to stop?

Although I don't support most of the US involvement in the Middle East -- especially not the current war -- you can not say that all Middle Eastern countries are completely blameless.
