The last I checked, Christians do not advocate genital mutilation, honor killing, or summary executions. I mean I'm sure there is one or two out there, but please. Islamic cultures are barbarous by our standards. We just choose to look the other way because of white guilt.
Theres a pastor named steven andersen whos not shy about his hatred towards homosexuals and even preaches he believes they deserve death

People are afraid of the islamists. They dare not stand up against it. They are so afraid that they keep telling others to say nothing that may can irritate the muslims. I don't blame them. I'm scared of them too.

The majority of Islamic Terror victims are other Muslims. If it weren't for violence and intimidation, Islam wouldn't exist

Again, these are isolated cases other Christians are unbelievably quick to denounce.

Looking at it on a large scale, Islam is by far the more violent religion. I am speaking as of now, please lets not go back to the Inquisition days.......I know Christianity did horrible things in the past. A few nutjob churches such as Westboro Baptist is a drop in the bucket compared to countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE , which off their immense oil riches are sponsoring terrorism worlwide and using them as their proxy armies. Sad thing is , the US is their ally.... I guess oil wins over morals.

I think the reason democrats/liberals like Islam is because they both believe in authoritarianism. They both want total, and absolute control over your life.

Natania, you have such a pure heart, but wow are you deluded if you think those that who proclaim to be Christians are anywhere near the league that muslims are in regarding brutality, hatred, and complete control over human beings.

The Westboro Baptist types truly are the exception not the rule and news worthy mostly by their very existence.

Our ever loving media is ecstatic when these episodes occur however and report on them as if there’s a crazy Christian behind every bush…


All the same when’s the last time u saw a Christian drive a truck into a crowd or blast a theater with an AK47 ?

Or justify the activities of roving rape gangs. The difference in morality and worldview is truly stark.

I heard on the radio yesterday (Tom Wallace's Fortress of Faith program http://fortressoffaith.com/) that even the UAE classifies CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as being terror groups, but that the United States refuses to do so. Many are deceived as to the openly stated agenda of these notorious Islamic supremacist groups in the United States that masquerade as civil rights organizations.

Your rebuttal is a reference to one crazed Baptist church you don't even bother to specify.

I can list entire countries where this stuff is a way of life:

Somalia
Syria
Iraq
Pakistan
Afghanistan
Nigeria (a portion of it anyhow)
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Etc.

They built a house upon sand and expanded that house by the sword for hundreds of years.
Excuse me,
Westborough Baptist Church was it?
Sorry I am bad at names

My point is,.there are extremes of every religion including Christians

It seems like it's their way of keeping women in place. And it works, I'm afraid of them, and many others are...

The difference is in the texts, and what we are explicitly instructed from them.

Christian text instructs us to love our enemy.

Islamic text instructs to subjugate and/or kill those who refuse to submit.

Maybe...just maybe.....
People don't like Islam but they RESPECT it?....
I mean....we do live in a country with free choice of religion so they have every right to be a Muslim as we do Christians.
There are just as many, maybe more awful Christians than Muslims. Let's be real here
No one said that no one has the right to be Muslim.

And no one is talking about how many bad Muslims there are.

I have to say I get severe cognitive dissonance between what the Media proclaims about Islam, and what I have experienced.
Many of the Moslems I have met have been very nice people.

Ultimately, as Magenta says, our only gauge is the Koran.

I do rather like the fact that Islam sternly rebuts queer stuff, and usury. (Unlike large segments of the Church)

Sure, it is a doomed theology, but not without merit.

Those associated with Westboro Baptist Church are not Baptist or Christians.
Everyone needs to understand that many who call themselves Christians are not Christian and have no idea what a Christian is.

Before you believe that "they have every right to be a Muslim" you might want to check with God.

While it is wrong to hate sinners .. Are you taking the stand that homosexuals do not deserve death ? If you are then you are in rebellion against the Word of God because Homosexuality is sin and God declares the price for sin is death..

Not my point.
My point is,
I would be told I like Islam along with apparently some liberal folks.
I don't like Islam, but I do not and will not disrespect them.
If I come across one and religion comes up as a conversation will I point out flaws in Islam and speak about Christianity, yes.
But I'm not going to go about my life thinking they are all awful people simply because of their religion.
Not all of them want to go out and kill everyone. Extremists? Yes.
We have multiple people who believe in Islam in my school, many of them I know fairly well.
Muslims are not all extremists. They are not all Satan like everyone thinks. Do they believe and read the wrong text? Absolutely.
Do I disagree with Islam? Absolutely. But I'm NOT going to act stark and rude with them simply because extremists decide to kill people, which also happens in Christianity and Judaism and every religion we can imagine

I don't need to.
You need to check your constitution.
Where you live, yes, they have every right to be Muslim.

In God's eyes? No, He does not what them to be Muslim but to follow Him.
Obviously. My point was with that statement that the Muslims here have a right to be Muslim and to not be forced on Christianity
