e.g. if you were born in a muslim country you would be muslim %99 or if you were born in a christian one you would be a christian. No critics, no search before accept it. Just see from society and live in that way. Furthermore, seeing the others as a potential enemy, but there is no difference btwn you and him, because you all didn't search the other religions...

people stop searching about knowledge .. that's a red line u can't cross it talking about religious... like if u r christian and u want to know anything about other religious u find first Ur family will argue u much and Ur friend and community be against u .. may be the bad thing we grow up and we didn't respect  others and sometimes we can't understand coz it simply we do not know ..i hope if we can change

True Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all have the same roots and the same message - worship God and love one another.  Buddhism is a philosophy of life that stresses peace and harmony above all else.  If you follow these four pathways, I can see no reason to reproach you.  Yet you, and many like you, have been persecuted not for who you are, but for who people see you to be.  They let their own prejudice blind them to the truth.  The only thing you can do is refrain from retaliation and continue to live as God desires.  You may never change their minds, but at least you will be blameless and able to stand before God without shame.

I think i agree with you on this one, Christian should have more loves and understand for this kind of issue, they shouldn't condemn directly without knowing detail or why or give more understanding to the related people so at least they have time to learn or decide what they wish to do for both side.\n\nNo matter we accept or not, the world has changed...It didn't mean we do changed by the world, but we may need to learn how to balance ourselves so we can find the best possible way to help or cares about those that they are "different"!

Nagla- \nWow- This is a powerful question, and one to be asked.  I personally had to answer this for myself, but first let me say "Salam Malakum" (sp?) \nI am devoted Christian American Military Spouse currently living in an African Muslim country, and I don't think you can't get more diverse then that.  \nI agree with you that Americans look bad, because most do not know what a true Muslim is and only know what is report on the news.  (I could have been one of these Americans a year or so ago, and two tours in Iraq could do that to a person.) \nNeedless to say, I would like to end this on a positive note.  All the Muslims I have gotten to know what to live in PEACE.  There are extremes on both ends.  Just as the majority of Americans would disassociate themselves from the ones that are protesting grave sites because the US has gays live there.  \nI would like to encourage you to show these people what your all about.  Not is a IN YOUR FACE way, but a here it is thing.  The pilars of Islam prove that Muslims want Peace for all, that they do not look down on who is that persons personal Savior.  For me that happens to be Jesus Christ.  Yet I feel we can still love one another, and see where each other is coming from with resepect, and honor, in a way that would be glory to both religions.  \nGod Bless You-

It does not make sense for a Muslim to marry a Christian or for a christian to marry a Muslim unless they weren't really serious about their  religion.  I am Catholic and I feel very strongly about my ideals.  There is no way I would marry a Muslim because as it says in one of the gospels, we would be "unevenly yoked" and arguing about religion all the time.  I mean, what would we teach our kids?  Both religions?  And which one would I tell him is the truth?  Mine or his father's.  It is better to find someone who feels the same way you do on matters that are close to your heart so you can work as a team.

That's a complicated question. Yes, they are all Christian but Christianity is an odd religion, really. Even if you have a same based religion, one branch of that religion is going to think that they're better than the others. And that's not limited to Christianity. Muslim's are divided into two groups: Sunnis and Shiites and they hate each other. It doesn't matter if it's the same religion, some people are always going to believe they're better than everyone else. Religions just a boundary we like to push down each other's throats.

OK venting about other religions is wrong. I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to love everyone, no matter how different they are from them. Everyone has their own beliefs, why can't we accept people for who they are?( at least, until they start harming and abusing people...)\n\n\nha ha... and I just realized that the person above me just basically said the same thing....

All religions are similar in many ways...people should respect each others religions no matter what....my family includes hindus .muslims and christians and we never seem to hav conflicts about religion although we r ALL VERY RELIGIOUS AND DEVOUTED TO OUR RELIGION=)

Before 9/11, I've never heard of a follower of Islam who hated Christians. Therefore, I think it's just a select few. And, if you like a place, why should your decision be dictated because the main religion is not your own?

I wish they would. I think each person has their own path and a right to that path and if it makes them a better person who are we to try and judge them or convert them. I think if people really lived according to the basis of most religions they would respect others and love their neighbor without prejudice. It would be a wonderful world if we all would seek first to understand, then to be understood. Not have to insist on being right or seeing their way as the only way or others seeing people of other religions as a threat or some sort of abomination to their religion. I find it quite hypocritical and ironic.

If only. Wars used to be fought because someone didn't worship someone else's god. Then the Crusades started the trend of fighting wars because someone didn't worship God in what seemed to be to someone else the right way. Chirstians, Catholics, Muslims, these and many other religions don't worship a different God, they all worship the same God, the only difference being that they just worship God in different ways. So who's way of worshiping God is the right way to worship God? Who's to say. Each religion claims that they are right. Atheists claim that everyone is wrong. Who's to say? I personally am supposed to be a Presbiterian, but I haven't been in a church, let alone a Prebiterian one, for quite a while. I'm more spiritual than religious nowadays. I see inconsistantsees and problems with many religions, so I do what I think most people should do. I worship God not in a way told to me by man, but rather, in my own way. My God is a manifestation of my beliefs, as opposed to most people who believe, for the most part, in a God of someone else's beliefs. I too ask myself, "why can't we all have a common God?" And I am answered with, "because of our differences that, though for the better and making us all unique, is what ultimately keeps us apart." Yes, it WOULD pave the way for mankind if we all beleived in a common God, but as I stated with my very first sentence, if only. Do we need a religion for worshipping God? Some do. Most do in fact. But I don't.

The 1st verse you mentioned : 3.85 , Yes if some one don't take Islam as a religion it wont be accepted from him&#92;her in the Doom Day , and Wont be accepted by God. \nTRY TO READ EXPLANATIONS BEFORE MISUNDERSTANDING VERSES \nAnd For Muslim in the life time WE Must Accept ALl Religions according to : \n109:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers. \n\n[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship. \n\n[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship. \n\n[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship. \n\n[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship. \n\n[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." \n\n2nd verse you mentioned , Fight ONLY who Fights us , NOT Who are dealing in tolerant way , according to : 60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. \n\n[60:9] GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors. \n\nAnd Paying "Giziah" or a some of money is only for those from other religions who lives in a Muslim country and Don't participate in defending the country, Now a days it's not taken from other religions as the army of the country consists of all religions. \n\n3rd verse you mentioned , If you try to know who are addressed with the verse you would have understood ! , this verse was addressed to hypocritical people who lived in prophet Mohamed time,and making fake things about Muslims and have a great evil in their heart against the others. \n\n4th verse you mentioned: The link is fake ! and so i cant even understand the verse as u take the part which u want and leave the rest ! \n At Last , Better to Read the Explanation of the Quran and also Try to know who are addressed by the verses .

If you are a christian, a jew or a muslim, you do all worship the same god. Maybe it is time to examine your premises as to what a god, or your god, is, and why is it that you think it is involved in man's foibles - at least on a day-to-day basis.

that just shows how much religions are alike, no matter how distant they seem. so don't be stupid and be a jerk toward certain religions. they might be more alike to your own than you realize. To each his own.

Don't believe everything you read or hear. I am a Christian and I believe in peace. I don not condem your people or your religion---thats your free will to believe what you choose...but it is unfair that you label "Christians as the ones doing and saying things unfairly" about your nationality. I hope for peace what do you hope for?

It's not really as bad as saying they're all terrorists, since a lot of westerners actually are christians.  Sure they shouldn't generalise like that, but there are far worse things.  And you're doing the same thing by saying that middle eastern people group all westerners together.

Study our recent U.S. history (20 years) and you will discover that more than 95% of our terrorist attacks and wars are against Muslims, and that they are the instigators of such activities.\n\nOR -\n\nStudy religion.  What are the Muslim faith doctrines ... OOPS!  "Death to all infidels!!!" (you are an infidel if you are not a muslim).\n\nNot all religions preach violence; you mentioned Christianity in your question, as I understand it christians preach peace, hope and love.\n\nOR -\n\nStudy Ancient History.  As far back as you would care to travel in time you will find the muslims at the heart of conflict from their very inception as a family, then tribe, then nation, then world religion.\n\nOR -\n\nStudy sociology.  Muslims view of life does understand that what you 'believe is true, is true' regardless of how other individuals or nations regard truth.  The driving force in Muslims lives is their religion because they clearly see that it is their belives that give meaning to life (and direction for their life choices).\n\nMeet a devote muslim and you will meet a person that has NO tolerance for anyone who does not believe exactly as they do. \n\nThis is true of very few of the 5000+ religions in the world.\n\nIn my opinion, muslims are just like you and me (hopefully), individulas that in the U.S. have the right to their thoughts and beliefs as long as they are not hurting others.  BUT therein lies the problem.\n\nThe scottish have a saying "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."\n\nWhy are people racist . . .
