Hi captain, I have got some thing for you which goes down to early history.\n\n" Charles only spared the lives of those Saracens[Muslims] who consented to be baptised, the rest he put to the sword."--[History of Charles the Great and Orlando, by Turpin, Vol-I, ch-ii, pg-5]\n\n"....460 years later, when the Holy land reverted to the Christian rule of crusading knight of Europe, the oriental Christians regretted the tolerating Govt. of the Arabian Khalifs."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\n"....A bloody sacrifies was offered by mistaken votaries to the God of the Christian resistance might provoke, but neither sage nor sex could mollify, thier implacable rage, they indulged themselves 3 days in a promisenous massacre. After 70,000 muslims had been put to the sword and the harmless JEWS had been burned in thier Synogogue, they could still reserve a multitude of captives whom interest or lassitude persauded them to spare."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\nThe critical Gibbon coclusively proves that, "...to his Christian subjects, Mohammad readily granted security of thier persons, the freedom of thier trade, the property of thier goods and the toleration of thier worship. This profitable principle of toleration was observed with more or less strictness, not only by all the immediate successors of the Prophet, but over the whole period of Arabic ascendency."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON] \n\nOn the other hand..........\n\n"....when Jerusalem capitulated to Khalif Omer, the inhabitants of the vanquished city were left in possesion of thier worldly goods, and allowed the freedom of worship. A special quarter of the city was allotted for the residence of Christian population with thier Patriarch and his clergy."--\n[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\n"....And Islam was tolerant not simply to the Jews but also to the Christians. The Christian church in muslim Spain was given large lands and considerable revenues, christian envoys were recieved with courtesy and allowed to take away relics of christian saints and martyrs from the muslim territory. GIBBON says in his Decline and Fall [of Roman Empire], that muslim rulers even transcribed an Arabic version of the canons of the councils of Spain for the use of BISHOPS in the Moorish kingdom. Haroon al-Rashid, the hero of the "Arabian Nights", planted in his kingdom a large number of schools, the head of these schools, his Director of Education, was a chritian named John."--[ The Spirit and Struggle of Islam by Prof. T.L.Vaswani, Ganesh & Co., Madras-1921]\n\nYou can judge it yourself as to whether muslims inflicted more violence or the Christians ? \n\nAnd you know about modern history and who is responsible for killing lacs of people in Hiroshoma and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan..

we are studying that in school now actually haha. I believe that the Muslims prevailed and the Christians lost. The only crusade the Christians won was the first

Nope.  Christianity swept the world but, that doesn't make any other religion invalid.  If it did, there would be no other religions anymore.

Well, may I say, Sir, that the birth of Islam, itself was in violence?\n\nThe fact that they have a Religious and Political Agenda to Dominate the World is open Knowledge.\n\nSo, whether they are provoked or not,  will not make any difference at all.  Ultimately, they will attack all of us. Even at the risk of being martyrs.  Because that's what their Religion is all about.  Others before me have already detailed this.\n\nIf they speak of different interpretations, I'd caution you to remember that it is written in their Koran that must resort to deception and cunning to defeat the infidel.\n\nSo, I guess it's not an option for us, Sir; because that's what they are.  We can't help it.  We can either fight back or be killed.\n\nThat's the set of choices we will have.

Islam  has not only answered your question but t also has shown means of prevention which were conducted by you prophet himself ( I think you are Muslim ) and the caliphates do not kill an elderly , woman not even a tree . Ahmed Didat gives good explanations t that issue.\nAnd I lie to answer what (old school above said ) are Jews considered terrorist they after all crucified Jesus

If Persia wants to attack Israel it is fine with me, It isn't my army that'll get destroyed. Tell me more about these Christians who think they are perfect and nearly a god, I never met one and have been hanging out with that crowd for a while.\n\nGod Bless\n\nJETT

The only two religions that teach close to the same God is Judaism and Christianity. All others are vastly different and contradictory. Since they oppose each other-they all can not be the correct one. So, only one can be right. The trick is-which one? We must compare and choose-and hope we are right. Fortunately for people in the western countries, we have the "freedom" and the "resources" to check them "all" out. I personally know a man with 2 doctoral degrees in religion, a D.Min, and a Ph.D. He is an Arab. He is convinced that Christianity is the correct one. I too believe that Christianity is the correct one. I have 2 degrees also in religion, but not a doctorate. I understand that most people in the world do not have a chance to compare religions, or the resources either. Some would have to forfeit their life to change-this is sad. Christian missionaries give their lives to help other people learn about Jesus. They do not do this to raise an army or to overthrow a government, they do it to save lives only. This one fact alone should make people all over the world at least want to examine a religion that cared so much for them that they would die to bring it to them. This is one reason I think my religion is right.

The world's oldest religion, atleast chronologically from a historic perspective is Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma). However, please keep in mind that everyone of every religion considers their religion to not be 'new'. Christianity is seen as a fulfillment of prophecies based in Judaism. Baha'i is based upon prophecies in Islam. So as far as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha'i, if you ask a member of this religion they can each point backwards through the Abrahamic traditions to how each 'fulfilled' other areas, thus keeping them within the same line. THe same can be said of Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc. So when asking this question it is best to be aware of what exactly you are wanting to know. As one Christian I know said "Jesus was a part of God in the begining, thus Christianity is the oldest religion because Jesus was always a part of God, but it is young if you only compare it from a historic chronological perspective." I think that is well said.\nThus from a Historice Chronological Perspective from oldest to youngest the religions go:\nHinduism\nZoroastrianism\nJudaism\nJainism\nBuddhism\nTaoism\nConfucism\nShinto\nChristianity\nIslam\nSikhism\nBaha'i\nNeoPaganism*\n\nPlease note that many in the NeoPagan movement claim direct connection to the Pagan past and often direct it to a specific ancient culture/civilization, but not all. Some state that theirs is a new religion based upon a revitalization of ancient religions, but not the ancient religions themselves. So one has to be careful in this area, too. Native American beliefs and Shamanism are not listed, nor did I name Unitarian-Universalism, Rastafarianism, etc. I mainly listed major world religions. (UUs do not necessarily view themselves as a religion in itself, but rather an approach to religion with many in a UU congregation holding a wide variety of beliefs from many of the worlds religions. There are some UU, though, who would claim that as their religion so no offense to those who do).

I am a Christian.  I want to make clear that there is no other faith that believes in the same God as the Judeo-Christians.  The muslims kind of do, they just follow the son of Abraham, Ishmael.  (simplistic, there are many more factors involved with the muslim faith, the Jews follow the line of Abraham through Isaac and the muslims through Ishmael)  Some religions (ie. Hindu) believe in many gods, others believe in reencarnation and there are a multitude of other beliefs.  It is stupid to fight against one another.  I am appalled that there was fighting between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland and it is very sad that in Iraq, the recently liberated people there are now fighting between the Shiite and Sunni branches of Islam.  I have also hated the fact that during the Crusade times, the Muslims would invade the Christian and Jewish areas, rape, torture and pillage.  Then the so called Christian crusaders would come in and do the exact same to the muslims.  \nJust because some groups of people do stupid and immoral things, that should not cause all religion or beliefs to be fought against.  I might add that the greatest massacre of Christians took place not long ago.  Stalin and Lenin killed millions of Christians because they fought against religion.  Communism doesn't like having a God, they wanted to be.

I think so. Religion usually starts out as an attempt at some sort of spiritual connection and then evolves into a force for exerting control and power over people. One example is the religion of Islam. It was started by Muhammad as "submission," but others who used Islam after Muhammad's death certainly didn't have that in mind. One example of this is the Umayyad caliphate. At first, it ruled its conquered places without attempting to impose religion upon them. Instead, they would have soldiers stay in places separate from the others in conquered lands. They found, however, that this was not effective at all. Because of this, they then used Islam as a unifying force; they converted the conquered peoples to Islam because, under the banner of religion, they would be easier to control. This is an example of Muslims using their religion as a political tool. Of course, there is the other example of terrorists and suicide bombers who believe that they will get 72 virgins for extinguishing the lives of many in the name of Allah. In my opinion, though, the Quran would support that kind of behavior because Muhammad slaughtered many in Mecca so that he could establish Islam there. So, I guess that wouldn't be a misuse of their religion. \nAnother example is the religion of Christianity. Used by the Catholic Church, it then warped into something that can hardly be recognized as Christianity. It has a pope, a so-called "vicar of Christ" who could exercise power over Christians by changing doctrine and teachings at whim. This is nowhere in the Bible. Also, look at the atrocities committed in the name of Islam. The Spanish Inquisition, which killed many Jews and Muslims and ended with the capture of Granada in 1492, was simply disgraceful. There was also the Crusades. Though, to a regular person, it seemed like a religious conflict for the capture of Jerusalem, it had a political cause. King Alexius I of the Byzantine Empire was simply afraid that the invading Seljuk Turks would capture his land. For this reason, he went to Pope Urban II and asked him for help in beating them back. And then it evolved into "Deus lo volt!" (or whatever the Latin expression is) and killing the Muslims and capturing Jerusalem and whatever. Besides, the Roman soldiers who were supposed to be working for the Christians attacked the Christian city of Acre. So, as you can see, there were many other interests in the Crusades disguised under religion. Another is Christianity used as justification for discrimination. One example of this is the Jews. They were simply hated, especially because they went into business, which, according to Catholic doctrine, was more or less not spiritual or holy or whatever. Because of this, the Jews in the middle ages were blamed for a lot of things. If they ever ran out of money, they would criticize them for lending too much money with their banks. The Catholic Church even tried to blame the Jews for the Black Plague, saying that they poisoned the wells.\nThe point is that religion has been abused a lot and it continues even today.

That is about my perception as well. As a Jew I cannot fathom how Christianity developed out of Judaism. The Christian god cannot be the same as in Judaism the difference are just to staggering.

Islam has yet to reach its peak. It came into existence roughly 400 years after Christianity and is making steady progress. By the time it is matured it will probably be the dominant religion (and a new one will be in its infancy)

Yes, only this time it will be Jews &christians .It's Rome vs. Judah,Judah vs.Rome. First Rome occupied Judah  2000 years ago but Judah undermined the Romans individually and as a culture  therebyreplacing the frivolous morality the Romans had at the time.Then the dark ages of the Roman church age. Then the rennisance when the classical age seemed to make a comeback in middle ages.Oops then the reformation.Then judah' winning again.then the french revolution, with the rabble back in power, the wwi &ww2 the rabble defeats the purebreeds again.hurray for our side!only problem-christianity is declining,what to replace it with?hmmmm.I know, people like sex, people like drugs.people just like to feel good.Hey that sounds like ancient!Let's just go back to the old religion, it didn't have the requirements of the gospels of christ, Heck,we already do these activities anyway why not make it the law of the land?And while we are at it let's kill the people who are interfering with our happiness-the christians!and the people who started all of this,the Jews.Are not the ancient fires burning again?.You do away with the christian god, no one believes in his rules anymore.anything goes.soon enough when someone kills a Jew or christian they willthink they did the world a favor.Only problem is when the lord returns and fries their butt.

Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic faiths(One GOD). The Koran even mentions people like Moses, Noah, Adam & Eve, Isaiah, and Jesus. But they differ on who Jesus actually was. So if christians believe that Jesus is Divine and Muslims don't then they don't worship the same God. Judaism should also be included. but again they differ on the subject of Jesus.

Israel has nothing to gain with making the Muslims stronger by eliminating the leaders of the Christians.\nWho has to gain with this ? Think ... Yes, you've found it ! Syria and Iran (and their allies the Hesbollah).\nWas not to difficult ?  So think first before asking such questions.
