they were probably brainwashed

Christians in my opinion and experience are probably a bit less moral.  Look at the history.  Crusades.  Spanish Inquisition.....   Religion is just a method of controlling people.  Then once the ones that started it died and only the belivers survive to run it it becomes a boat with no captain.  A big scarry supertanker that will take out anyone in it's path.\n\nRemember anyone elses religion is just a superstition.  And the followers look like children trying to not step on cracks in the sidewalk to outsiders.  Think for yourself and live a good life.

The "Muslims" you speak of, are a vast MINORITY of their religion.  The fact of the matter is, is that 80% (maybe even more) of Islamic believers are peace loving.  \n\nKeep in mind as well, that Christians have also killed people because 'God told them to'.  Have you ever heard of the Crusades?

Christians pretended the war was "Holy" so they could feel justified in raping, pillaging, and murdering thousands of people.  Christians were no better than Hitler and should really be ashamed of themselves.  The Bible is often used to justify greed, murder, and all the terrible things Christians pretend to be against.

Only false christians go to war.  God does not sanction wars.  He wants people to love one another.   A most important way in which Christ’s true disciples can be identified is by the love they have among themselves. Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Do the religious organizations with which you are acquainted have this love? What do they do, for example, when the countries in which they live go to war against one another?\n\n You know what usually happens. At the command of worldly men the members of the various religious organizations go out on the battlefield and slaughter their fellow believers of another country. Thus Catholic kills Catholic, Protestant kills Protestant and Muslim kills Muslim. Do you think such a course is according to God’s Word and really shows the spirit of God?

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..

Christianity started first and was wiped out by Christiandom (Catholicism) . . . which forced all Christians to follow them . . . or face torture and death.\n\nExample . . . the inquistion . . . the crusades.

I'm not sure if it's killing infidels, but more like ridding them. In a sense, if you convert someone who isn't a muslim you have gotten rid of an infidel. I guess the teaching have obviously been twisted to suit some of their sick needs. Still it's just the few lost sheep in the religion that's giving the whole group a bad name to the good ones who just mind their own business and treat people with other religions with respect.

well the Crusades and the conquest of Cannan were a little different. First the Crusaders often went in to villages in Europe and kill people were their was no enemy or army to fight. The Israelites fought wars against army's and fortifications. \n\nas for the 40 years no they were not walking around the Sinai dessert for 40 years. Most of the time they were camped in one spot. Read up about the spy debacle that will explain why they were their so long. \n\nAs for the killing we really dont know how much blood shead their was from the Israelite battles. If you notice Their is almost never a record of any Israelites dieing yet all the Canaanites they attacked did die? History tends to be written by the victor this is no different.

the guy above me dosent know crap. One affect was that the christians had a desire for a higher standard of life when they saw how sophiticated the muslims were such as nice cities. It also lead to the fall of constantinople when the crusaders sacked the city on the way. The fall of constantinople lead to the collapse of the eastern roman empire. This gave the muslims an even stronger hold on Juresalem because the europeans lost so many men

The Popes during the Dark Ages were driven to slaughter others because they were 'different'. They believed they were doing God's work so they felt no guilt or remorse. Hitler was driven to slaughter others because he was crazy. He also felt no guilt or remorse. The actions of those early Popes were equal to those of Hitler, their motives were also the same. Education, not Religion, is the answer to the intolerance people have toward each other. We must also remember that Hitler did not act alone, he had tens of thousands of helpers, all of whom were 'Christians'.

I don't know how you got those facts but i am not surprised, a lot of Christians are killed for their faith. Many especially those who live in countries dominated by Muslims and communist are continually persecuted until they change or die.\n\nJesus said it already in Matthew.24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake."\n\nI think that is what we have been seeing over time. There is another scripture that says a time will come when someone who kills you will think he is doing God a favor.\n\nI hope i answered your question.

Its not oxymoronic, its hyppocritical and ironic. I think it would be fair to say that the religion that has started the magority of the fights over religion is the Christians.  For example they marched thousands of miles to the "holy land" and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Muslums and burned infants on crosses and then claimed Jerusalem as their own private property. Take a look at all of the fighting in the Middle East between the Palistinians and the Israelies and tell me how you think that all started. IT WAS THE CHRISTIANS!

They didn't. Christians did. The gospels do not mean anything to Jews.

They have huge issues with their religion. That is why for centuries they have killed or forcibly converted those who disagreed. But of course those weren't true Christians, although the resemblance was uncanny...
