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.

Jesus(pbuh) is a highly respected Prophet in Islam.  \n\n10 brief points Christians\nshould know about Muslims and Jesus\nBy Sound Vision Staff Writer\n\n   1. Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.\n   2. Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.\n   3. Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.\n   4. Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.\n   5. In Arabic Bible the name for God is Allah. Therefore all Arab Christian call God Allah as Muslim do as well.\n   6. Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved  him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.\n   7. Jesus is called Isa (pronounced Eesa) in Arabic.\n   8. Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.\n   9. Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.\n  10. Jesus will return before the end of the world.

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 think this is making a vast generalisation about all muslims. \n\nJust because some aspects of muslim culture advocate this, doesn't mean all muslims do. Not all muslims wear the hijab, it is a cultural thing. Millions of muslims in Indonesia do not. Also, many muslims are not any more fanatical about their religion than most christians. Many just go to the mosk on special holidays like ramadan, not every sunday. \n\nThe Qur'an is a book advocating peace, thought it may have some violence in it. The bible too, has much violence, but many would say it has brought them peace.

Right now when people hear "Muslim" they instead think "terrorist."  I know better than this, but unfortunately, you're going to get a lot of ignorant answers to this question.\n\nThe Muslims I have known have been very loving, very sincere about their religion.  They behave very kindly towards others.  I notice two other things about them:  one is they tended to be a little more superstitious than I expected.  Another is that they tended to not hang out a lot with non-Muslims.  \n\nTake care

The main difference between christians and muslims is idol worshipping, though most of the christians say that it is forbidden but yet many follow. The second is christians accept Jesus as their God but we muslims accept Jesus as the messenger of Allah or a prophet sent by Allah before prophet Muhammad.

I think that the Islam that states that Christians are Brothers to the Muslims is a beautiful and wonderous thing, I think too that those who think that all Muslims are evil because certain radical fanaticists kill people should look back through history to the time of the crusades where Christianity perpetrated FAR worse crimes against humanity. Including but not limited to the torture and slaughter of thousands of innocent women and children.

Yes, they are.\nBethlehem, was majority if not all Christians, now it is minority, and the Christians are being brushed out.  Gaza, they are being kicked out of it, if any of them left.  Jerusalem, If the Muslims had it, not one Christian will be in it any more.\nMuslims and Christian relationship on the surface it seems good, but under the surface, the Muslims will always resent the Christians, and they still call them to the day CRUSADERS.  They blame all the Christians for what happens so many years ago, and they forget what they did to others.\n\nThe reality, if a family living among Muslims, they are not going to be treated as well as if they treat each others, and when it comes to Jews in the middle of it, the Christians will be pushed to the middle as a lamb to sacrifice.\n\nRemember how they trashed the Church, when they were hiding from the Jews, if it was a mosque, it will not be treated with such disrespect, urine all of the place, in the place where Jesus Christ was born.\n\nTo repeat Yes, they are in middle of the two.  On push and the other poke, and the Christians are lost in the middle.  No too many know that there are Christian Arabs, even the educated one, they think they are all Muslims, because no one hear much about the Christians in the middle east.\n\nOf all those Arab Country that are calling for justice for the Palestine only Israel and Jordan gave them citizenship and the rest are just huffing and puffing blaming Israel for the trouble Palestinian people are having in the Arab world.\n\nArab Christians, How many times have you heard the Imam preaching against you in their friday prayers for one, calling you the crusaders, el- nassarow! How many!  number is too high to tell.\n\nAsk yourself this if Christians and Muslims have such a good relationship, then why is it more and more of Christians are leaving their country?  That is not only in Israel, but all over the middle east.  Christians are being treated badly by some Muslims.  Take for example Ramadan.  A holy month for the Muslims, and no freedom of movement for the Christians, only Lebanon is the only country that doesn't force everyone else Ramadan  down everyone else's throat.\n\nGod Bless you All in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.\nPlease Pray for the Christians family in the middle east and mostly in Palestine and Egypt.\n\nPeace to ALL People on Earth

Christian views of Jesus (known as Christology) are both diverse and complex. Most Christians are Trinitarian and believe that Jesus is both the Son of God and God made incarnate, sent to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by atoning for the sins of humanity. Nontrinitarian Christians adopt various other interpretations of Jesus' divinity. Mainstream Christians believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, crucified and entombed, resurrected on the third day of death, and ascended into Heaven where he resides with God the Father until the Second Coming. Mainstream Christians also believe that Jesus fulfilled Biblical prophecy.\n\nIn Islam, Jesus (called Isa) is considered one of God's most beloved and important prophets, a bringer of divine scripture, and also the Messiah. Muslims, however, do not share the Christian belief in the crucifixion or divinity of Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus is alive in heaven and will return to the earth as Messiah in the company of the Mahdi once the earth has become full of sin and injustice

As a friend of a Muslim family from Pakistan. Let me put some first hand observation on this topic. If it was told (truth)the Muslims do believe in Jesus, they believe He was a Prophet, not the Son of God Mu hammed to them was a Prophet also and Allah is there god. They feel that Christians and Jews are infidels, we are not worthy of knowing the truth. We are so wrong and there true purpose is to convert as many as they can to being a Muslim they call it the only true religion. They intend on ruling the world, they're a waring group, even among themselves. They fight like crazy amongst themselves. They feel superior to anybody other than other Muslims. They feel they are the right linage to Abraham through Ismael.  Abraham was a Jew. They hate Jews, go figure. I am not sure they really know what they believe. It would take a really good shrink to break down that confusion.  As we know they function on hate and destruction.

I am a christian.I understand the muslims are maybe more religious than others.So why do they offend these people?Why don t they just let them be?The muslims never offend other religions but we "westerners" provoke them.

If you think about it, Christians are part of that same family as well. Muslim believe in Jesus Christ as a prophet as well. But Christians and Muslims are killing each other at this very moment. It's sad...\n\nReligion is a veil that leaders hide behind to get their way. Followers often are lead to violence under the guise of righteousness.
