Why are Muslims so threatened/obsessed  by Christianity ?

It all boils down to one thing, and one thing only.  Muhammed, when he was inventing allah and islam, took and corrupted (intentionally or not) a lot of factoids from Judaism and Christianity.  His ONLY defense against his inadequate knowledge of science, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, history, religion (esp Judaism and Christianity), and many OTHER fields of thought was to declare EVERYTHING ELSE as wrong or corrupted.  (nice try, Mo)  \n\nIslam "claims" to be correct and complete, yet denies the divine nature of Jesus.  Islam is at a loss for anything spiritual (resorting instead to lavish physical pleasures and rewards for following allah/Muhammed).  There are so many blatant errors in the koran that it's not worth listing.\n\nChristianity (rightfully) views islam and allah as a false god.

I won't infect you with a derogatory statement when you are in fact asking a viable question. So I will answer it with the utmost honesty and research that I can provide. Unlike those who resort to rudeness such as those above, showing their imaturity and ignorance and unwillingness to learn.\n\n\nMuslims and Christians are the closest brothers in the Christian faith. Muslims have great respect for Christians  and love for them as brothers which share a faith which is comparable. Israel hates these Muslims as much as they hate Christians , that is why the Israel propaganda machine is in full swing to make Christians and Muslims hate one another for if they are able to work together as brothers in the same faith they are able to stop the evils of this earth together and the wars that are a daily occurance  in Israel, from Isreal and their hatred for  Muslims. Therefore their propaganda is to make Christians hate their Muslim brothers whose faith is  more closely binding and alike than that of Judaism and Christianity. Fact is, Muslims are blood brothers in Christ with Christians.\n\nYou may have heard this because Muslim history has proved that Jesus  was actually born under a  palm tree wereas Judeo influence into our Christian Bible says it was in a manger. However , Muslim history is older than Judeo history so it must be held at a higher value than the myths of Judeo history which have always been proven to been mythical and with much error.\nRead this excerpt from muslim history.\n\n"I first came across the idea of Christ as an object of Muslim devotion when I read that inscription quoting Jesus, son of Mary, on Whom be Peace, on the gateway at Fatehpur Sikri. Last month I came across a Mughal miniature, now on display in the British Library, which was probably painted within that city soon after the gateway had been built. It is a nativity scene, with Mary and the Christ child and wise men coming to offer gifts. But the wise men are Mughal courtiers, Mary is attended by a Mughal serving girls, and the Christ child and his mother are sitting under a palm tree. As this miniature shows, there are certainly major differences between the two faiths- not least the central fact, in mainstream Christianity, of Jesus' divinity. But Christmas the ultimate celebration of Christ,s humanity- is a feast which Muslims and Christians can share together without reservation. At this moment when the Christian West and Islamic East seem to be heading for another major confrontation,( Thanks to Israli propaganda ) there has never been a greater need for both sides to realise what they have in common and, as in this miniature, to gather around the Christ child, to pray for peace."\n\nREAD THE REST HERE:\nhttp://www.alhewar.com/a_christmas_palm_tree.htm\n\nThe remarks above are protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as follows: "Brandenburg v.

We Christians are not taught to "hate" anyone! However, we are taught the truth, which is, that Jesus is the Son of God. This guy they call mohammed never died on the cross for anyones sins! He is not of importance, but just another man who thinks he knows it all. If you are a real Chrisitan you will realize that when someone does not have Christ in their religion, they are called, you guessed it, an anti-Christ. We do not hate muslims, but we really don't like them trying to push this Islam off on us. I have seen on TBN where there are many muslims converting to Christianity. When you tell muslims this, they report you!

I'm a Muslim and everything you have stated is true. Christians are supposed to worship like this too but somehow they interpret the bible how they want picking and choosing what they feel is necessary in there worship and what is not.\n\nYou did leave out one other thing we share, male circumcision.\nWhich Christians are supposed to do also but don't......

This question is actually laughable. Have you not read other questions and answers? Seems to me there is always someone willing to attack a religion or a group. Don't feel like Christians are the only ones. Personally I think Islam gets attacked the worst in Answers but that's my opion.

Probably something to do with religion, christ etc. There are an awful lot of religious wackos out there.

Well, as with almost all things religious, there's a secular answer and a sacred one too.  The secular answer is manyfold.  I have a friend who is very very very bigoted towards Christianity, but doesn't seem to have a problem with any other type of faith (Judaism, ancient egyptian mythology, norse mythology, etc).  It could be that those who oppose Christianity are frusterated by how much sense it makes (which is admittadly a VERY egocentric argument).  It could also be that since Christians dominate world politics and generally have the most sway in everything, which breeds jealousy from those of other faiths.  It could also be that those who are pegging Christians as scared, desperate, simple, and judgemental are reffering to certain groups of Christians who are, and then overgeneralizing to encompass all of Christianity.\nThe sacred answer:  Satan breeds jealousy in the hearts of mankind.  The father of lies does what he can to slander the truth and breed opposition to it, because he does not want God's children to succeed.  That is, in my mind, one of the the most important aspects to understand when trying to discover why Christianity is so despised by some.

The difference seems to be in any religion those who see their particular religion as a personal choice or those who see it as mandatory.  Christian history has many dark chapters when people, claiming to act as agents of God, tried to force Christianity, (or rather, their version of Christianity), upon the world.  What we see in the news these days are many Muslims around the world, seeking to force Islam upon all people.\n\nThere are many Muslims who do see Islam as a personal choice, but unfortunatly this is less newsworthy than the radicals spreading violence across the globe.

That's a complicated question. Yes, they are all Christian but Christianity is an odd religion, really. Even if you have a same based religion, one branch of that religion is going to think that they're better than the others. And that's not limited to Christianity. Muslim's are divided into two groups: Sunnis and Shiites and they hate each other. It doesn't matter if it's the same religion, some people are always going to believe they're better than everyone else. Religions just a boundary we like to push down each other's throats.

Its more than likely that they are just curious. As a christian i didn't know anything about the Muslim religion until 9/11. It then became a big topic. Ive learned a lot and have also sought out info on other religions and just generally like to hear about other religions. Its just curiosity.

It's because religious fanatics are trying to brainwash us. They are single-minded,  believing that they will "save" us if they push their beliefs onto us.  It is their mission to witness to us.  I grew up in a Baptist church, so, am very familiar with beliefs and ways.  Freaky!\n\nAlso,  there are many people such as myself,  who are so irritated with the Bible thumpers,  that we present off-the-wall religious questions to push their buttons.  It's amusing!

No.  First off, it is no Islam that is the threat but the radicals.  Christian religion has the same issues.

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.

well said! I'm not a muslim, I'm a christian but I get sick of the pettymindedness too. A lot of it is ignorance, they know nothing about Islam except what they are fed by the media- I think it is up to moderate muslims to raise their voices and be heard loud and clear.\nI believe that religious extremism is a major problem in the world today, and people need to be shown that it is possible for people of all faiths to live in harmony, as they have done for centuries already. \nI wish you peace.

Muslims like to explode next to Christians.

I think its because they are scared and jelous of some other religions. they are the biggest religion and they want the rest of the world to follow them.

Look around you and see who is trying to destroy Islam?\n\nWho are the one who posted most of the insulting questions about Islam?\n\nYou can see that most of the people that posted this kind of question is Christian.
