I am from the middle east too, even arabs take part in our celebrations. Countries like UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Baharain, Oman, Qatar have a number of Christian churches and are quite permissive in allowing ppl to follow their religion. but in some countries, celebrating christmas is a crime, as is conducting worship services.

Greetings in Salaam, Peace, & Shalom from Jesus Land,\n\nAfter more than two thousand years, Christian families are still living, witnessing, & worshiping in the land where Jesus Christ was born, lived, died, & was resurrected. We are NOT immigrants. We are NOT converts from Judaism or Islam. We are the descendents of the original indigenous Christians who first believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. We live in Nazareth, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jerusalem, & other places in the Biblical Palestine, Israel, & Jordan. We are Arab Palestinian Christians (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, & others). Together, we comprise the MOTHER CHURCH, the Church of Jerusalem. Zion remains the Mother of All the Churches, & Urushalim the Holy City.\n\nHave you ever wondered what happened to the descendants of the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ and the descendants of other Jews, Arabs, Canaanites, Greeks, Philistines, Romans, and Samaritans・who accepted the Messiah when He was with them in the flesh? Today, their direct descendants number around a million. These are the Palestinian Christians who still maintain the faith and tradition.\n\nGod bless Palestine

The difficulty of explaining the true Jesus is a challenge with a Muslim.  I just accept that they believe in God & hope that God will let them in to heaven, as I do love my Muslim friends.

I think it's very much Christianity... both religions are very intollerant of other religions and that's naturally going to be a "sore spot"\n\nI think Americans feel that the terrorists are Muslim "crusaders (perhaps not so much in name, but in action)," if you will, and many muslims believe that the U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are a new "crusade"\n\nWhile no one may really talk about it, I think it exists underneath the actions..

I have known several arabs, and have not hated any. There were some that I did not like, but it was because of their personality not because they were arab.\n\nI think most of what you may be experiencing is just prejudice. People probably think that because you are arab you must be or have some ties to terrorists.

Arab is an ethnic term and Muslim is a religious term. Not all Arabs are Muslim and not all Muslims are Arabs.\nAn Arab is a person from Arabia.\nA Muslim is one who accepts Islaam as his religion. \n\nBoth Isaac (pbuh) and Ismael (pbuh) were prophets.\nIshmael (pbuh) was the one who was offered for sacrifice.\nIshmael (pbuh) was the first born.\n\nBoth Abraham (pbuh) and Ishmael (pbuh) built the Kaa'ba in Makkah.\nIshmael (pbuh) lived in Makkah.\nGod ordered Abraham (pbuh) to take Ishmael (pbuh) and Hagar to Makkah before Ishmael (pbuh) was weaned.\n\nMuhammed (pbuh) is a descendant of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Ishmael (pbuh).\nMoses (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) are descendants of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Ishaac (pbuh).\n\nYes! The roots are the same.

Read this aricle and you judge, not by watchind Fox news and CNN, you will be able to give good jusdgement.\n\n\nIn his book "Civilization of the Arabs," Dr. Gustav LeBon says, "The reader will find, in my treatment of the Arabs' conquests and the reason of their victories, that force was never a factor in the spread of the Koranic[1] teachings, and that the Arabs left those they had subdued free to exercise their religious beliefs. If it happened that some Christian peoples embraced Islam and adopted Arabic as their language, it was mainly due to the various kinds of justice on the part of the Arab victors, with the like of which the non-Moslems were not acquainted. It was also due to the tolerance and leniency of Islam, which was unknown to the other religions." \n\nIn another place of his book, Dr. LeBon adds, "The early Arab conquests might have blurred their common sense and made them commit the sorts of oppression which conquerors usually commit, and thus ill-treat the subdued and compel them to embrace the Faith they wanted to spread all over the globe. Had they done so, all nations, which were still not under their control, might have turned against them, and they might have suffered what had befallen the Crusaders in their conquest of Syria lately. However, the early Caliphs[2], who enjoyed a rare ingenuity which was unavailable to the propagandists of new faiths, realized that laws and religion cannot be imposed by force. Hence they were remarkably kind in the way they treated the peoples of Syria, Egypt, Spain and every other country they subdued, leaving them to practise their laws and regulations and beliefs and imposing only a small Jizya[3] in return for their protection and keeping peace among them. In truth, nations have never known merciful and tolerant conquerors like the Arabs." \n\nHe further explains, "The mercy and tolerance of the conquerors were among the reasons for the spread of their conquests and for the nations' adoptions of their Faith and regulations and language, which became deeply rooted, resisted all sorts of attack and remained even after the disappearance of the Arabs' control on the world stage, though historians deny the fact. Egypt is the most evident proof of this. It adopted what the Arabs had brought over, and reserved it. Conquerors before the Arabs -- the Persians, Greeks and Byzantines -- could not overthrow the ancient Pharaoh civilization and impose what they had brought instead." \n\nThen in another place he adds, "A few impartial European scholars, who are well-versed in the history of the Arabs, do confirm this tolerance. Robertson, in his book "Biography of Charlequin," says that the Moslems alone were the ones who joined between Jihad and tolerance toward the followers of other faiths whom they had subdued, leaving to them the freedom to perform their religious rites." \n\nIn his book "History of the Crusades," Michel Michaud says, "Islam, besides calling for Jihad, reveals tolerance toward the followers of other religions. It released the patriarchs, priests and their servants from the obligations of taxes. It prohibited, in special, the killing of priests for their performance of worship, and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab[4] did not inflict harm on the Christians when he entered Jerusalem as a conqueror. The Crusaders, however, did slay Moslems and burn the Jews when they entered the city." \n\nIn his book, "Islam: Impressions and Studies," Count de Castri says, "After the Arabs yielded to, and believed in the Koran, and people received enlightenment through the True Religion, the Moslems appeared with a new show to the peoples of the earth, with conciliation and treatment on basis of free thinking and belief. The Koranic verses then succeeded one another, calling on kind treatment, after those verses in which warnings had been addressed to the heretic tribes... Such were the

Yes!  I don't have to agree with their religion or the person's beliefs, but I do respect them.  I have friends and family that are members of different religions from the one in which I'm a member.  I respect a person's right to worship in the way they choose, but I'll share my beliefs and the way to salvation with them.  \n\nTo be honest, I even respect the Muslims who are terrorists.  I don't agree with them, but I respect them.  They may be deluded, but they are doing what they believe their god is telling them to do.  Many Christians don't have the conviction of their beliefs to do what they know God wants them to do.

If anyone has a phone number to an Arabic Christian Church here in the United States..., this woman would like to have it and the name of the church.\n\nShe wants to talk to a Muslim woman who has converted to Christianity. If anyone can help it would be a blessing.

Certainly, not all of them are are... \n\nIn the cases they are though, so called Muslims (Muslim: believer, Islam: submission to God), believe that Christians are infidels; as in infidelity towards the religion of God as they see it, since they view Mohammad as the last Prophet. \n\nMost of those intolerant are of the elite ecclesiastical class (Imam: teacher), or the utterly ignorant because they're not even allowed to read the Koran or any other of their Holy books (which includes the Christian Bible) - the Koran is according to itself, another chapter of the continuing book of God, i.e. Bible and Torah are included in the Islamic book of God. \n\nMohammad is supposedly a Prophet like Moses, and His followers consequently have behaved like wise in their time, becoming persecutors/persecuted, but not all Jews were, nor are all Muslims today. (The books of Moses: Old testament, speak of a Prophet to arise in the place and time Mohammad did according to tradition "I shall raise up a Prophet, like unto me, Moses". \n\nThose that are not intolerant remember the sayings, or those like it that Mohammad stated "Anyone who harms a Christian or Jew has harmed me!", or "Be friends with the Christians for they are most like you in the world", or when asked what is this God you believe in, Mohammad said "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." \n\nAbraham also had the Q'blih "point of adoration", a stone to turn to when praying for those unable to be without an alter, since both were from idol worshipers; as were the Jews before the ten commandments - the commandments Moses received before, He tossed into the water because the people were not ready (a sign of the coming of greater teaching, e.g. with Jesus).\n\nThere's always more to learn and understand. Some Muslims I've met show such Love for Christ that all but two Christians I've met pale by comparison - those two spoke of nothing but the love of God and had no hate for anyone. In generally the Muslims I've met here in the US are every bit as loving toward all, as Christians, and by that standard they are one and the same.

first of all, who wants to know? i mean where are you from?\n\nSecond: Arabs? hmmmm, let me see. I see them as people just like we are. All people from all over the world are the same i guess. the differences exist as a result of different cultures, civilizations, scientific researches and alot of other things put together. give someone a chance to learn, study and do experements and you will have a scientist like Ahmed Zoweil. deprive someone everything and you will have a criminal, a terorist, or just another poor helpless man. yet, there might be something i like about arabs actually that we lack these days, which is family bondage. might sound strange to our society here, but i like the idea of family living together and caring the way they do. also, i like the idea that ladies normally stay virgins untill they meet the right guy or even get married. so, i guess all what i like about them is social rather than else. i like oriental music as well. mmmmmm,,,,, what do you all think about this?\n\nAngel

I'm  Muslim and i have nothing against the Jews, but I'm 100% against the Zionist state of Israel. before Israel was declared the Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together all over the middle east in peace. it wasn't until the migration of the European Jews (Zionists) who came from all over Europe and settled in Palestine which has been a British colony since the first world war. when the Jews of Europe moved to Palestine they started their terrorist operations against the Native inhabitants of the Land and specifically the Muslims and Christians. they burned their houses, killed many and drove the rest out of their homes into the deserts. in 1948, the state of Israel was declared by the UN and the land was divided into two states, with the Jewish area consisting of roughly 55% of the land, and the Arab area roughly 45%. Jerusalem was planned to be an international region administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.\n\nthe Arabs knew that this is done by the British super power to put the Arabs in their place plus they felt that the land is being officially stolen therefore the 1948 war started which resulted in the defeat of the Arabs and Israel gained an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan River. Jordan, for its part, held the large mountainous areas of Judea and Samaria, which became known as the West Bank. Egypt took control of a small strip of land along the coast, which became known as the Gaza Strip.\nEstimates of the final refugee count range from 400,000 to 900,000 with the official United Nations count at 711,000.The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.\nImmigration of Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees from Arab lands doubled Israel's population within a year of independence. Over the following years approximately 850,000 Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews fled or were expelled from surrounding Arab countries and Iran. Of these, about 600,000 settled in Israel; the remainder went to Europe and the Americas.\n\nfor those atrocities that happened in the past and still happening until now. I feel my rejection of the state of Israel is justified. and i understand how the Arabs feel.\nbut to be practical and look for peaceful solutions i came to agree that if Israel pulls out of ALL the occupied territories (1967 borders) i think there might be a chance for co-existence between Arabs and Jews. after all we do worship one God and from the same origin.\n\npeace!
