A good question.
It is reported that Hitler killed 11 million people. About 6 million Jews and 5 million other ethnic origins were killed in concentration camps. This is not counting the thousands killed by German soldiers in Russia and Western Europe.
But no one blames Christianity.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 (2,20,000) in Nagasaki by the end of 1945. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs.[2] In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians. This was at the order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman
And I dont hear anyone blaming Christianity for this crime.
And Mr. Bush is bringing "peace" in Afghanistan, Iraq (by bombing them and killing as many as possible), & still I dont find anyone blaming Christianity.
The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Amritsar Massacre, was named after the Jallianwala Bagh (Garden) in the northern Indian city of Amritsar, where, on April 13, 1919, British Indian Army soldiers under the command of Brigadier Reginald Dyer opened fire on an unarmed gathering of men, women and children. The firing lasted about 10 minutes and 1650 rounds were fired, or 33 rounds per soldier. Official (Raj) sources placed the casualties at 379. According to private sources, the number was over 1000, with more than 2000 wounded,[1] and Civil Surgeon Dr. Smith indicated that they were over 1800.[2]
This massacre was led by Lieutenant Dyer and no one blames christianity.
Slavery on American soil grew at such a fast rate that, by 1750, over 200,000 African slaves were here. Fifty years later, that number grew to 700,000. In South Carolina alone, African slaves outnumbered the white population, and they made up more than one half of the populations in the states of Maryland and Virginia. And no one blames Christianity.
Many Muslims were killed in the huge Gujarat massacre, and yet no one blames Hindhuism.
Its just that if any guy having a BEARD claiming to be a Muslim kills someone or bombs a city, Islam is convicted of being the religion of terrorism.

lets see if this will show they are peaceful
the unbelievers are your open enemy, qur'an sura 4:101
that looks pretty peaceful
here is more proof of their peaceful ways
if you fail to obey the way of allah, the other muslims are commanded to kill you, sura 4:81
Again, great proof of the peaceful nature of islam,
when they kill each other and none is left, islam is a religion of peace, or maybe piece
the western mind can not comprehend the hatred some islamic people have for others. it is a religion of death, and your question is just a part of the proof.
edit: to those defending islam above, there is no defense, the verdict is clear, the people there want the woman dead for naming a teddy bear. there is no forgiveness, only hatred.
you honor Jesus as a prophet, read his words for yourself. When you were a child, others taught you because you could not reason for yourself. You are men and woman, pick up a bible and read it for yourself and see if Jesus is not more than just a prophet, but infact, the incarnate LORD God himself.
I know that you think if God has a son he had sex and that is blasphemous and in that you are right. But the one called the SON OF GOD is eternal like the Father, having no beginning and no end. If he were not called the Son, when we encounter him, we would think him the Father for they are alike in every aspect, eternal, holy, righteous and glorified.
quit being a child, and study for yourself and see if what I have written is not true.

Can you see passions? Has any one weighed sentiments?
You are living in West. You have almost no sentiments for
your religious figures. How you can sit on judgement about
Muslims who have intense passion for their religious persoanlities. Especially holy prophet Muhammad is loved by
all Muslims more than their own fathers and mothers. He is
our ideal and emancipator and he will stand for us on the day
of judgment to ask mercy for us.
Mind you that Islam is relatively a new religion and its flame
has not died down like christianity's. We have every right to
defend the honour of our beloved prophet.
Who in her right mind will call her teddy bear by the name of
most respected personality of Muslims and that too in a Muslim country. We know full well that it is a smear compaign
going on to annoy Muslims. And when they are annoyed, guys like you start shouting slogans against Muslims that they
do not have patience.
We are what we are. The best you can do is to leave us alone.

There is peace in the Quran, just as there is peace in the Christian Bible and any other religious text. There is also violence in the Quran, just as there is violence in the Bible. As for atrocities committed in the name of the Christian God, look to the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Witch Hunts, the Crusades (who do you think Christians were battling in the Crusades????), the Holocaust, etc. There is violence in hatred in ALL religions.
I find it ironic that you claim Christianity doesn't have the same history of violence...and threaten a beating for anyone who believes otherwise. LMFAO!!

Was it a religion of peace for anyone who dared to speak out against Muhammad? No, it wasn’t.
And it still is not.
All of the muslims wanting the teacher put to death for allowing her class to name the teddy bear Mohammad?
Is that a religion of peace?
They are barbaric and so far down the pole of civilized people that it is ridiculous.

Sudanes are showing their anger for insulting their Prophet Mohammad. In Shariah Laws if any one does blasphemy lowering a Prophet or God like most Christians do on R & S, their punishment is death. I personlly don't feel the woman deserves the punishment they are asking for because she is not Muslim and being foreigner she didn't know that her action is that much serious in the eyes of Muslims. One who is Muslims and knowingly does the sin of Blasphemy against Prophet or God does deserves the death penalty and not this woman.
Real reason is that these people are protesting against
western people for occupying Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel and their daily killings of Muslims. Do you know that so far
USA has killed over 100,000 innocence men, women and children with carpeting bombing in Iraq who did nothing against USA. In Afghanistan only Taliban Government harbored Osama bin Ladin and deserved punishment but not the entire population of Afghanistan who were being
suffered unde Taliban rule.
Americans never even feel remose for killing hundreds of thousands of Muslims every where they go as if they believe it is their God given right to kill any number of people they feel like. As i see too much hatred against Muslims expressed every day by Christians, I think your soldiers also carry same kind of hatred and probably killing Muslims to cool off their hatred.
Some restaurants in America have televison for customers. When they hear some negative news truth or lie against Muslims, I have seen few times myself these people yelling in anger drop the Nuke on their country, bomb the hell out of them and similar words. Don't they do? I have seen similar scenes in many movies also. Neither US government drop bombs on every news they see nor Sudanese government is going to kill this woman because of her foolishness.
People like you Sir, on R & S are exploiting the situation to express your anger against Islam Religion and question if it is Religion of Peace. You believe Christianity is religion of peace even though you know very well that your people are right now killing Muslims where US had no genuine reason to go destroy Iraq and occupy the country. How can you say that Christianity is religin of peace?
Can you prove that Christianity is religion of peace?
History of Christian people show opposite to what you are claiming sir.
Please see the following site to know how many people Christians have killed in entire world.

Islamics under the umbrella of US citizenship often profess a peaceful doctrine but as I'm skeptical only time will tell. I'll offer the the benefit of the doubt but sleep with one eye open.

Lets say that the people in Sudan who wants the English Teacher's head is not peaceful; but the Quran never teaches this kind of rabid behavior.

well that country is dominated by a taliban gov't. therefore, they THINK that they're doing he right thing. they're not.
islam is misunderstood in many ways... it's unclear to many people, i mean. and the taliban or w/e the gov't calls themselves these days has it all wrong in their heads.
oh well, they'll go to hell =]
but really, islam is all about peace.. aren't all relgions, after all?
