Answer 1

Hi! I am a Muslim and I don't hate Christianity or Christians. My spiritual teacher was a leader in religious dialog and I wouldn't copy of paste from websites, but if you want to read an educated Islamic opinion about the relationship between Islam and Christianity, then I would recommend this page: http://www.kuftaro.org/English/muslim_christian_dialog.htm .

Since my primary school years I've had Christian colleagues and friends sitting in the same class, playing in the same school yard. This has remained the same all across my life. I do enjoy a friendly discussion with a person who has deep knowledge in Christianity, as long as they are tolerant and open to talk.

The Quran says that the closest people to the Muslims are "those who said we are Christians, because of them there are priests and monks, and because they do not have arrogance." For about 14 centuries, Christians have lived in my country side by side with Muslims and have gotten along very well, almost in all history. The Quran permits that a Muslim man marry a Christian woman, an that Muslims eat food prepared by Christians. So religious co-existence reaches the level of your own private home, how can one say that Islam permits hate towards Christianity just because it's Christianity?

Take care.

Peace-salaam.

Answer 2

I don't "hate" any human, I can surely hate their behavior and I have been a jesus lover my entire life for 57 years, BUT, when we use the word Christians, it has a very very broad definition, and for those who claim to be Christians, but think of themselves as "better", I do not like that BEHAVIOR !! It only gives a bad name to "Christians" , yes we all sin, but if you claim to be a Christian, then you'd better go before Jesus and ask how you are doing in His point of view. One question I have is this, if you asked Jesus about how you are spending your money for Christmas, and He were sitting in the room with you RIGHT NOW, I think He might prefer you feed the other 95% of the world that needs so so so much, just an thought you might want to reflect on, but you will have to think of Jesus as sitting next to you right now !!!!!!! We do so much and call ourselves Christians, but do you really act as if Jesus is right with you now like you say ? I don't think so quite often.

Answer 3

I don't hate Christianity, but I dislike it fairly intensely as a historical institution. I don't hate Christians, but I believe most of what each denomination says about all the others and I believe the people in those denominations doing the saying are worthy of contempt, mostly.

Answer 4

Hate is far too strong a word.
I have an inherant dislike for lies so I dislike christianity.
Christians are just normal people and if they practice what they preach, instead of shouting about it, they are very nice people.

Answer 5

Nobody hates Christianity, as nobody should. They are free to be Christians, just how we all are to follow what we believe in..
