ordinary christians are well informed of their bible.ordinary muslims are not fully aware of Quran's contents.their mullahs have misled them into riots.

lol. You realize that Christians do that everywhere. Even in their own country. And it's because their religion teaches that they should do exactly that.

It was only a contest, not directed to anyone.\nThe problem was because Muslims thought that they were made by Christians to make fun of their religion.\nThe problem will expand more, the more Muslims make more fails in their own lives.

Christians are NOT the only ones who discriminate against others. Most organised religions talk  'smiting the infidel'. They all believe that their's is the one true way.

Muslims only are permitted in Mecca, under penalty of death.\n\nNote:  I base this on information I heard in a class on Islam back in college.  I do not mean this to be offensive, but I had heard that a non-Muslim was found in Mecca and was beheaded.  This is supposedly enforced by the Saudi government.

Well I think the answer to your question is that NOT ALL Muslims wish to force ppl to convert to Islam or die...\n\nThere are those few extremists pretty much smearing their religion and it doesn't help that most Islamic nations are not secular... they combine their religion within their government policies. When a government does this it is forcing its citizens to follow one specific religion.

It is a dangerous dichotomy. To resolve this Muhammad wanted to merge these two and preached a unified religion combining all the prophets and claiming himself as the last prophet; but still there was and there is war among the followers of the semitic religions. For the Roman Catholics the Church and the State is same. For the Muslims, loyalty to their religion comes first but still they have fought wars with Islamic states. Faith in God has actually nothing to do with commitment to the Nation. The Nation is a reality and it should take priority over faith which is internal relationship with the God. Territorial loyalty is man made and has its relevance in our regulated conduct.

Yes, it is.  My religion does not preach this, and it's one of the reasons that I chose to believe what I do.  Actions have consequences.  People should be made to deal with them, even if it's just a guilty conscience.

It depends on the countries you go to.\n\nIn places like France for example, religion has little or no effects on politics (in general)\n\nIn places like Italy, religion and politics go together and sometimes get into contraddictions....like in laws about abortion or those to legalize gay marriages and adoptions.\n\nIn many muslim countries Law is Religion and Religion is Law, which is why people can't enjoy a real form of freedom.\n\nAs a matter of fact, if in place like Italy (not only but it's a good example as it is the cradle of catholic christianism) you can RESPECT THE LAW but don't believe in GOD and at the same time you can enter any church without necessarily believing in what it representes, in countries where law is based on religion (Iran, Syria etc) all the above is not possible. Respecting religion equals to respecting the law and vice versa and in view of this there is a lack of freedom.

First I would like to thank the asker for his nice way of introducing the question, we do need such civilized ways of dialogue from both Moslems and Christians, and I hope that my answer would offend no one at all and if this happens with out intention this is my apology in advance. \nI believe that the main reason behind such kind of practice among most Christians is due to their belief that Jesus PBUH was crucified for their redemption, and to make my point of view clearer I would just cite the following example: \nlet us imagine that in some country in this world the government has declared a test for people  for the period of one year to check who is a good citizen and who is not, and during this 12 months time people who abide with the rules and regulations would be highly rewarded, but at the same time no punishment at all for any kind of violations and crimes, robbers, killers, traffic violators, smugglers, … etc,  will be forgiven for their mistakes and sins and would be treated equally with good people who didn't sin or violate the law and also will be rewarded. Here I have some questions:\n1-What is the percentage of the people who would abide with the law?\n2-Do you thing that it is fear to treat both parties equally?\n3-And the most important, would this test have any sense of logic at all, I mean what is the issue if all will be rewarded?\nConclusions:\n1-God can never hold such test because He would be playing or mocking at us (praise be to Him).\n2-It would be unfair trial and meaningless.\n3-If the result is known from the beginning that every body would pass so no need to hold the test.\n "Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between! \n\n If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing(! \n\n Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)". \nHoly Quran.\n\nWe Moslems believe that Jesus was not crucified and that it is all no more than a fabrication from some one to digress Christians from the straight path.  But how this happened? When the Jews ran after Jesus to capture him and put him to death, he refuged to a cave and the worst man among them followed him up inside the cave, God left up Jesus alive to heaven and made the face of that man similar to Jesus' face, when he came out of the cave he was surprised that people who was waiting out side the cave just captured him and crucified him while he is screaming "I am not Jesus" but no one believed him and that was his punishment in this life for trying to kill Jesus. \nCh-4,V-157-159\n That they(the jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.\n And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them).\nHoly Quran\n\nMay God guide us all to the straight path.

I am very sorry but as far as I know if someone is a muslim he/she can't drop their religion under the threat of death!!? Myself I am not a muslim. I am a Christian.Very peaceful religion.No punishing and killing in the name of God.

They don't, they have a free and open society and although they are traditionally Christian, muslims are allowed to build mosques anywhere and way they want, and are even free to live in segregated communities.  They don't even need to learn the language to collect on health and welfare benefits of their host country.\n\nThe outcry comes when Muslims begin demanding that their new Christian neighbors not offend them with their traditional European ways of free speech, freedom in sexuality, and drinking good beer.  Some Islamic leaders even begin demands of a separatist state for their small communities within the borders of traditional European countries.  Its absolutely ridiculous that generosity and guest treatment are abused by some Muslims so horribly.

The real reasons seem to go back to the days of the Crusades and following invasion of Europe by Muslims.\nChristians and Muslims have been at each other's throats for centuries.  All in the name of God or Allah as the case may be.
