why muslims and christains are so intolerant compared to Hindus?
142878
Well, because Hinduism is not an extension of Judaism which introduces a bordeline personality as "the" god. Monotheism of the Judeo Christian and Muslim tradition is an intolerant God who hates competition and preached for and against intolerance . \n\nSo the moral duty of the believers are dependent on their moods, if they don't feel like being tolerant or understanding of others they declare a jihad on you, form crusades, become zealots. \n\nBut when they're in the "wise" mood, they turn the other cheek. When they turn the other cheek make sure you hit them so hard that they drop the fale act and show who they are. An a hole pretending to be kind should not be tolerated under no circumstances.

I disagree with Don S that Islam is the perversion of Judaism and Catholicism is the perversion of Christianity.\n\nI believe it is not the religions that promote intolerance, but people themselves who have trouble reconciling the fact that someone can be different and be a good person. \nReligious people who truly believe their faith get along; those who do not allow for tolerance and other beliefs aren't really following their religion.

Think about it...many unbelievers feel the need to bash christianity but not other religions (buhdism, islam, hindu, etc...).  That in itself shows that there is something different about what we believe in.  It is in man's heart to know there is a God.  Many people choose to reject this truth and attack all those who do believe it.  \n\nAlso look at the bible and think about how Satan has attacked it and tried to pervert it.  There are countless so called translations of the bible, but there is only one quran.  Why attack a book unless there is power in it.  \n\nBut, as far as being persecuted more?  Not a chance.  We have it easier than Christians during any other time period in any other part of the world.  We don't have to worry about being put to death for our faith.  We just worry about being made fun of a little...I thank God for the privilage to live in this country where we can worship God freely!

I believe it comes from a lack of understanding others.  People tend to hate that which they cannot understand.  Combine that with spiritual insecurity and it leads them to try to convince others that their path is the only righteous way towards God.  People speaking of religious tolerance have it all wrong.  To say that you tolerate someone else's religion means that you have pasted judgment on them.  This is something only God can do.  In the end, each person would be a better off if they lead by example and found the place that best allows them to worship and work on their relationship with God.

FIRST REASON:i think that some Christians hate the people who claim that they are Muslims.there are terrorists claiming  that they are Muslims so the Christians hate them and we as Muslims become very angry when we know that they are hating us.they do not hate us they hate the terrorist who claims that they are Muslims.\nSECOND REASON:the minority of the Christians do not the Islam and the Muslims they make their opinion about the Islam and the Muslims from the media and the media in the western try to make all the people hate the Islam and Muslims.\nTHIRD REASON:some Christians think that the Muslim hate them ,they do not look to Egypt (for example)the Muslims and the Christians live with each other a peacefully life ,they co-operate and cohabit with each other.they also think that we are close minded people and they think that we want to live a lone without cohabit or co-operate with any non-Muslim.finally:there are a lot of Christians know the truth of the Islam and they believe that it is the religion of peace.

I won't infect you with a derogatory statement when you are in fact asking a viable question. So I will answer it with the utmost honesty and research that I can provide. Unlike those who resort to rudeness such as those above, showing their imaturity and ignorance and unwillingness to learn.\n\n\nMuslims and Christians are the closest brothers in the Christian faith. Muslims have great respect for Christians  and love for them as brothers which share a faith which is comparable. Israel hates these Muslims as much as they hate Christians , that is why the Israel propaganda machine is in full swing to make Christians and Muslims hate one another for if they are able to work together as brothers in the same faith they are able to stop the evils of this earth together and the wars that are a daily occurance  in Israel, from Isreal and their hatred for  Muslims. Therefore their propaganda is to make Christians hate their Muslim brothers whose faith is  more closely binding and alike than that of Judaism and Christianity. Fact is, Muslims are blood brothers in Christ with Christians.\n\nYou may have heard this because Muslim history has proved that Jesus  was actually born under a  palm tree wereas Judeo influence into our Christian Bible says it was in a manger. However , Muslim history is older than Judeo history so it must be held at a higher value than the myths of Judeo history which have always been proven to been mythical and with much error.\nRead this excerpt from muslim history.\n\n"I first came across the idea of Christ as an object of Muslim devotion when I read that inscription quoting Jesus, son of Mary, on Whom be Peace, on the gateway at Fatehpur Sikri. Last month I came across a Mughal miniature, now on display in the British Library, which was probably painted within that city soon after the gateway had been built. It is a nativity scene, with Mary and the Christ child and wise men coming to offer gifts. But the wise men are Mughal courtiers, Mary is attended by a Mughal serving girls, and the Christ child and his mother are sitting under a palm tree. As this miniature shows, there are certainly major differences between the two faiths- not least the central fact, in mainstream Christianity, of Jesus' divinity. But Christmas the ultimate celebration of Christ,s humanity- is a feast which Muslims and Christians can share together without reservation. At this moment when the Christian West and Islamic East seem to be heading for another major confrontation,( Thanks to Israli propaganda ) there has never been a greater need for both sides to realise what they have in common and, as in this miniature, to gather around the Christ child, to pray for peace."\n\nREAD THE REST HERE:\nhttp://www.alhewar.com/a_christmas_palm_tree.htm\n\nThe remarks above are protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as follows: "Brandenburg v.

You gave the answer in your question.  What you've described are religious people. They are not necessarily the same as Christains.

Granted, Christians have their problems but, they're not alone. Different sects have different outlooks all designed to support their particular belief system. I don't think they're any worse than other religions and not as bad as some. Muslims, Shite and Sunni, have a major war on in some parts of the world killing each other at an astounding rate. As far as the pedophiles you mentioned they're not all Catholic, Presbyterians had a little problem with that too especially at the turn of the century when they were involved with the American Indian schools. As you stated there is absolutely no excuse for that sort of behavior. Some religions  here promote marriage to children and by our standards are pedophiles and have been prosecuted as a consequence of that belief.\n To sum up a longer than intended reply, the problem with religion, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc..is that people are involved. In any society you have a certain percentage of misfits and that same percentage is present in the religion as it is in all aspects of any society.

i am for free speech!! keep it up!! muslims should learn tolerance just like Christians had too. it is unfair for groups to say it is wrong to depict mohammand but it is OK to depict Christ.

Muslims are afraid of any thing in the human world. It is the main reason why they hate all humans.

Because 90% of muslims are not loving India. Because they are making problem in india.

There are a lot of things God has asked Christians to do that we don't anymore because they are antiquated.\nPeople conform their religion to the current society/evolution and that is why most muslims don't kill non-believers.\nDon't incite rage. Don't hate.

There are reasons behind why christians do not submit to Allah:\n1. Misunderstanding about Islam and its followers on their part\n2. Misunderstanding about God(Allah) and the prophet Jesus the Son Of Marry(peace be upon him) on their part\n3. Personal Ego\nI am a muslim and come from a muslim family as well. I frankly believe that muslims are not portraying the true picture of Islam.\nPersonally i go do agree with George Bernard Shaw's saying:\n"Islam is the best religion and muslims are the best followers".\nAnd i frankly feel it is not appropriate to call them cowards.The Quran says that Allah does not force to convert  anyone to Islam and believe him and niether the muslims should do. There are so many cowards livnig among us e.g. our political leaders.\nThe Quran and the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) have taught to us observe tolerance with the People Of The Book(Jews and Christains) as long as they believe in one and only one God.\nPlease do not offend anyone's faith or any follower if you are interested to invite them to convert to Islam or like to have an inter-faith dialogue.

Christiasns think they are worshipping the God while Hindus and Buddhist worship false God.\n\nAt times they moderate it a bit and insted of outright calling you a Satan worshipper they tell you Only christianity is true while Hinduism Budhism etc are only Partially true.\n\nThey expect you to convert because they have got money. And if you do not accept that wait till they get as much number as in North India , where they already do get converts on gun point.\n\nAnd wait. There is more. Do you know that when Christ will return, he will do ethnic cleansing and kill all non Christians. Very Christian thought indeed.\n\nIn 1984, the then Episcopal Bishop of Newark (NJ), John Shelby Spong visited India and wrote the following:\n \n\n“what I learned about Hinduism enhanced my appreciation for this ancient religious tradition. I saw a beauty in it that was enviable, and I found many points where Christians and Hindus are seeking to deal with the same human needs in remarkably similar ways”. \n\nHe admired the absence of the “spirit of missionary imperialism” in Hinduism and questioned whether or not the “Christian claims to possess infallibility or ultimate truth are not signs of a brittle pettiness that cannot endure”. \n\n (source: Proselytization In India: An Indian Christian's Perspective - By C. Alex Alexander).

It lies in the interpretation of the texts by people.  I do not think that Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or any of the Hindi deities said it is OK to go out and kill the innocents.  It is people who are manipulating the religions for their own benefits.  Cowards.
