well, i feel a little persecuted by some of my christian friends. the ones that don't do this are the ones who are not heavily involved in church. why is it that sometimes they speak about islam with a kind of hate?

hmm...One possibility is that all the media says about Islam is bad, because it is only conncted to wars and bombings, perhaps they haven't seen enough muslims to realize they are just as different as they themselves are? if they only hear the bad things, it's difficult to get a neutral view of something

Could be lotsa things...

1. We believe our way is the ONLY way, so we're not going to accept another belief as true. We'll love you all, but we won't accept the belief.
2.They could be buying in to extreme right wing media that says ALL muslims are Jihad loving terrorists bent on killing the infidel.
3. 9-11 was a big deal. Sometimes it's just hard to not blur the lines between terrorist Muslim and peaceful muslims.
4.Sometimes people are just jerks.

Careful about how you say, "persecuted" that is a powerful word, even if you say it's just little. I believe some Christian are ignorant as they not know what they say. When we are raised since childhood to believe in only one thing, that is ignorance to anyother belief we are not properly educated about. Some Christians are not properly educated in what Christianaty is all about. God gave his only son to save us from sin. Jesus taught us to love thy neighbor as you love yourself. That means regardless of their religion, race or sex. Christians that are educated about Christ would not condem or persecute others because of their beliefs. With age comes wisdom, I was once a kid like that till I found out what it meant to KNOW JESUS. Educated Christians would pray to the Lord for those who don't KNOW JESUS and what it means to have a relationship with HIM and not talk bad about others....REGARDLESS....

So don't feel bad for their ignorance. Just like a baby still learning to walk, be patient with them if they are your true friends. In time the Lord will find their hearts and all will be well.

I will pray for you and your friends, that He may educate all on what it means to have a relationship with Christ Jesus.
