It is not politaically correct to hate any other religion, but its socially acceptable to mock the christian faith.  People have a view of us as close minded, and arrogant.  However we follow a man who congregated with everyone from whores to tax colectors and even Romans.  They hold a belief that we are intolerant, and do nothing for our communities.  They see no truth in what we see.  \n\nAs for the people on here calling Islam a peaceful religion, lets look to their holy book for some answers since you guys are all experts on it lets see what the quran says:\n\nThis is for nonbelievers and how they should be treated.\n\n2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression\n3:28, Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah.\n4:84, Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.\n4:141, And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers\n5:33, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;\n8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them\n8:15-16, O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!\n8:60, Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.\n8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers\n9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.\n9:3, And an announcement from Allah and His Messenger, to the people (assembled) on the day of the Great Pilgrimage, - that Allah and His Messenger dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject Faith.\n9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,\n9:23, O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.\n9:28, O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque.\n9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.\n9:39, Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.\n9:73, O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and

The Bible nor Christianity advocates hurting anyone. It is the people that hurt others. \nPeople make mistakes and people are sometimes hateful without thinking of others and their feelings but noone should b mad at GOD for what people do. \nWe just need to learn to love as Christ did. He loved the person but not the sin and when someone did sin He did not walk up and condemn them to hell he humbly pointed out their wrong ( usually by asking them a question that caused them to stop and think ).

i asked a similar question recently about why all must hate other religions just because the people are taught the way they are. i am glad there are others who agree.\n\nMaybe God is testing us and seeing how we do with the free will he gave us

Wow!  Thank you very much for that.  I concurr.  \n\nPeople react with fear and/or hatred to things or people that are different than them in some way, and to those who  "overstep" the invisible boundaries they feel obligated to stay within.  I have no problem with someone's convictions.  Whatever you believe is fine - but it does not give you warrant to hate or mistreate others.  This is directly contradictory to the message of Jesus.  I believe he would slap the faces of many so-called christians today if he were not such a loving person.  He called us to love.  He called us to bring togeather - not tear apart.  Remember the parable of the sower and the tares?  Don't rip up what you believe to be tares or you will also rip up the harvest.  Wait and let the Lord do it at the judgement.  Just friggen learn to coexist and play nice....ok?

I have to agree with the previous poster that no, Christians do not love as they ought.\nThe fact that we fail however, does not negate the commandment, or mean that we don't make it our goal in life to love even our enemies with a perfect love.\n\nNow, this begs a question, what does loving your enemy look like in real life? Does loving your enemy mean that you put yourself in harms way by trusting them not to hurt you? I don't think so. Does it mean to have warm gooshy feelings for them? again, I don't think so.\nLoving your enemy means that you wish the best for them, as a Christian, the best we could possibly wish for someone is that they too would come into the relationship with God that we enjoy. If that is rejected, the next best thing is that they enjoy good things in this life because they will surely have nothing to enjoy in the afterlife. (Luke 16:19-31) Not only does loving your enemy mean that you wish the best for them, but it also means that you activly engage in things that will directly benefit them.\nIn the case of Bin Laden, I also have to weigh out the fact that I am commanded to love the other 6 Billion people on the planet, and since Bin Laden is actively engaged in harming many people (he has never done anything against me personally), I should support efforts to express love to my fellow-man by putting a stop to Bin Laden's activities.\nPersonally, I desire to see Bin Laden come to a saving and redeeming knowledge of Jesus Christ, but failing that, or until that happens, the most loving thing I can do is desire to his terrorist activities halted by whatever means possible.

As a christian, I have a distaste for homosexuality, but that does not mean that I should hate you. Jesus loves everyone, even those who do not follow in his path. I don't take homophobia as a bad thing, in a society the majority will naturally be heterosexual, making homosexuality a deviancy. It's just natural for a civilization to be wary of that.\nBut going back to your beliefs that the christians "hide" behind the bible, we don't. The bible defines our beliefs and therefore we must follow them to the best of our abilities. That includes disapproval of homosexuality. I'm sorry that you've been burdoned with this, just know that Jesus' love really is unconditional.

I would never question the right of anyone to practice whatever religion they wanted (as long as they didn't interfere with someone else's ability to have the same freedom).\n\nAs a non-Christian (and by the way not all non-Christians are atheists, it doesn't break down that way) we understand that your 'hell' is the worst place imaginable.  The ultimate punishment for the worst crimes against humanity.  Am I right?\n\nWhy wouldn't we be offended if you hated us enough to tell us that we are going there?  How would you feel if I told you that you deserved the worst kind of punishment in my social club just because you don't belong?  Its not because we believe in hell, its because we believe that you believe in hell.  \n\nI'm pretty comfortable that I'm not going to hell anyway.  Just because I interpret the bible differently than you do doesn't make me evil.  There are people who read and learn from the Bible who don't call themselves Christians and I'm one of them.   I believe that God accepts all forms of love.  \n\nThere are some wonderful people who call themselves Christians but Christianity is neither the only kind of love nor is it exclusively a loving bunch of people.\n\nAfter all, isn't that the real message.  Love.  Peace.  Brotherhood.  Isn't that what Jesus' teachings are really all about?  I just can't get into the 'my-group-is-better-than-your-group' way of interpreting the great works of religion.  It only spreads hatred and Jihad and Hell, right here on Earth.

If you regard Jesus as a prophet, Jesus said He who has not sinned cast the first stone. What a horrible religion this Islam is. So uncivilized. What gives you the right to judge when we all sinned. Accusation and slander is a sin, should we stone you?

Yes, but we need to get to the truth of the matter. Why do Muslims hate us? The answer is simple,  They learn it from the corrupt, violence riddled Quran. Here is one example from the Surah...\n\nIt is not for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. \nSurah 8:67\n\nAnother example of the extremism they are following.....\n\nFight them until there is nor more Fitnah ( disbelief, i.e. following others besides Allah) and the religion will be for Allah alone. \nSurah 8:65\n\nThis clearly states that the Quran is teaching them to fight those who do not agree with their concepts and ideas. Until all Americans turn Muslim, they will continue to spew venom towards us. They should be kicked out of the country, for I have not seen 1 Muslim protest the actions of terrorists. Have you? If they are not against it, they are for it. And yes they are for it because they are following the very teachings of Muhammad. No Muslim can be a "true" Muslim, if they do not follow what the Quran teaches. If they are not into fighting nonbelievers, (i.e. Christians, Jews...etc.) then they are not "true" Muslims.  Sooner or later the ones who claim to be Muslim, will realize this and start acting in accordance with the Quran. This is not a risk I want to take. You are right, they need to be deported, for they are here to spread Jihad.

What with you? If you're an anti-Islam then why bother to annoy the Muslims? Well, in case you haven't notice, there's not only ex-muslims but also ex-christians, ex-jewish, ex-etc etc. If you hate Islam so much, then why bother to ask all this kind of questions? You don't want to know about Islam. So, haven't you notice what you're doing here is only to spread hatred? Is that your purpose?\n\nWhar would YOU feel if someone else from other religions spread hatred about your religion or if you don't have any religion, then it is your faith then? I don't know much about you, but I know every religion asks the followers to do good things only.\n\nSo, don't you know spreading hatred is a sin too? I ask you this question because you're not spreading REAL information about Islam from genuine resource and you're not debating the subject because you want to confirm and answer your suspicion but because you get your pleasure from hurting other people.\n\nBesides there's always two sides of story about evrything so it's not wise to listen from only one side for it might contains half truth.\n\nYou should also know that everyone have their own opinions about their religions. So why can't you respect that? If you don't like Islam, avoid it then instead of bad-mouthing subjects you don't even have any slightest idea what is'a all about.\n\nIt's okay if you want to ask real question but I don't think you actually want to ask any question here. You only want to annoy people.\n\nIt's okay if you want to flame me or something for I'm only stating the truth here. So, this is my answer to your "question".

I am a Muslim and I agree that it was carried out by Muslims, I just do not like the fact that people are stereotyping ALL MUSLIMS as evil terrorists. I see that every answer or question you have is about Islam? You are showing hate for ALL of us and it is not fair

Yes, Jesus said love your enemy because if you only love those that you care for, where is the reward in that? It's impossible to love your enemy on your own, only through God's grace one is able to love their enemy. Since humans have a fallen nature due to original sin, it is in human nature to love only those that love them back, BUT it's in God's will to love those that hate you just as Jesus Christ loves His enemies. We must be more like Jesus Christ. Jesus said, be perfect just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Did you read parts of the Qur'an that tells Muslims to respect others and their religion, and to let them live in peace if they treat Muslims in the same manner? (read Surah Al Kafirun - to me be my religio, to you your religion) Islam is very tolerant of other religions.... some Muslims on the other hand are a different matter and that's not the way it should be!\n\nMany verses in the Qur'an balance each other out (not contradict one another).. for example Surah 5, verse 98:\nKnow that Allah is strict in punishment; And that Allah is Often Forgiving, Most Merciful. \n\nIslam and Christianity both teach good things and tolerance but somehow people have taken the teachings way out of context, and to justify them acting like animals. People are too quick to blame a religion, they forget that people are human beings who possess free will and will do what they want to do even if it is wrong by their religion.

Hate is an emotion.  Everyone knows hate in some way.  It's impossible not to have some hate even if it is only in our thoughts.  Christians hate and they can't stop themselves from it happening.  It would be sinful to hate so a lot of Christians refuse to admit they hate at all.

It's a sad thing that people call themselves Christians but do things that shame the name of Christ and His followers. Then because that one man did that horrible thing that makes all Christians go through the same trial and condemnation even the ones that honestly live their lives according to what Jesus commanded. Why are we being hated the most than the other religions in this world? All people are hypocrite in their own way because no one is perfect, only God is perfect. All humans fail not only Christians but you expect the most of us, to be holy and just shrug our shoulders, and get over even when we are being pushed on and rediculed at. A true Christian would do everything to be a good witness for others but even though we live a quiet life people still has so many things to say about us especially the ones that doesn't even know us. I don't think the man in that story is a Christian at all, just the label but not in the heart.\nGeneralization is mean and a crime towards conduct.

I do not think so.....God or Allah does NOT want us to kill one another, he wants us to find a way to live in peace along side each other........and for the life of me I cannot figure out why humans make that so hard. every day in the US we do it!!!!!!!!! I hate no one, and if I did....it would be becuase of how that person treated me, it would NOT be because of that persons skin color or his religion!!!!!!!!!!!

I think so. That must be what goes on at church. "I know the Bible says you shouldn't kill, but if you see a non-believer, then it's okay for you to go out and bash that mother up." No I kid, when I used to go to church it was a somewhat sane experience. \n\nI did hear a quote though, it went somthing like "You know somthing's wrong when God hates the same people you hate."
