Why islam hates christians

In the lands of Islam remarkably little was known about America. At first the voyages of discovery aroused some interest; the only surviving copy of Columbus's own map of America is a Turkish translation and adaptation, still preserved in the Topkapi Palace Museum, in Istanbul.

A sixteenth-century Turkish geographer's account of the discovery of the New World, titled The History of Western India, was one of the first books printed in Turkey. But thereafter interest seems to have waned, and not much is said about America in Turkish, Arabic, or other Muslim languages until a relatively late date.

A Moroccan ambassador who was in Spain at the time wrote what must surely be the first Arabic account of the American Revolution. The Sultan of Morocco signed a treaty of peace and friendship with the United States in , and thereafter the new republic had a number of dealings, some friendly, some hostile, most commercial, with other Muslim states.

These seem to have had little impact on either side. The American Revolution and the American republic to which it gave birth long remained unnoticed and unknown. Even the small but growing American presence in Muslim lands in the nineteenth century—merchants, consuls, missionaries, and teachers—aroused little or no curiosity, and is almost unmentioned in the Muslim literature and newspapers of the time. The Second World War, the oil industry, and postwar developments brought many Americans to the Islamic lands; increasing numbers of Muslims also came to America, first as students, then as teachers or businessmen or other visitors, and eventually as immigrants.

Cinema and later television brought the American way of life, or at any rate a certain version of it, before countless millions to whom the very name of America had previously been meaningless or unknown. A wide range of American products, particularly in the immediate postwar years, when European competition was virtually eliminated and Japanese competition had not yet arisen, reached into the remotest markets of the Muslim world, winning new customers and, perhaps more important, creating new tastes and ambitions.

For some, America represented freedom and justice and opportunity. For many more, it represented wealth and power and success, at a time when these qualities were not regarded as sins or crimes. And then came the great change, when the leaders of a widespread and widening religious revival sought out and identified their enemies as the enemies of God, and gave them "a local habitation and a name" in the Western Hemisphere.

Suddenly, or so it seemed, America had become the archenemy, the incarnation of evil, the diabolic opponent of all that is good, and specifically, for Muslims, of Islam. Among the components in the mood of anti-Westernism, and more especially of anti-Americanism, were certain intellectual influences coming from Europe. One of these was from Germany, where a negative view of America formed part of a school of thought by no means limited to the Nazis but including writers as diverse as Rainer Maria Rilke, Ernst Junger, and Martin Heidegger.

In this perception, America was the ultimate example of civilization without culture: rich and comfortable, materially advanced but soulless and artificial; assembled or at best constructed, not grown; mechanical, not organic; technologically complex but lacking the spirituality and vitality of the rooted, human, national cultures of the Germans and other "authentic" peoples.

German philosophy, and particularly the philosophy of education, enjoyed a considerable vogue among Arab and some other Muslim intellectuals in the thirties and early forties, and this philosophic anti-Americanism was part of the message. After the collapse of the Third Reich and the temporary ending of German influence, another philosophy, even more anti-American, took its place—the Soviet version of Marxism, with a denunciation of Western capitalism and of America as its most advanced and dangerous embodiment.

And when Soviet influence began to fade, there was yet another to take its place, or at least to supplement its working—the new mystique of Third Worldism, emanating from Western Europe, particularly France, and later also from the United States, and drawing at times on both these earlier philosophies.

This mystique was helped by the universal human tendency to invent a golden age in the past, and the specifically European propensity to locate it elsewhere.

A new variant of the old golden-age myth placed it in the Third World, where the innocence of the non-Western Adam and Eve was ruined by the Western serpent.

This view took as axiomatic the goodness and purity of the East and the wickedness of the West, expanding in an exponential curve of evil from Western Europe to the United States. These ideas, too, fell on fertile ground, and won widespread support.

But though these imported philosophies helped to provide intellectual expression for anti-Westernism and anti-Americanism, they did not cause it, and certainly they do not explain the widespread anti-Westernism that made so many in the Middle East and elsewhere in the Islamic world receptive to such ideas. It must surely be clear that what won support for such totally diverse doctrines was not Nazi race theory, which can have had little appeal for Arabs, or Soviet atheistic communism, which can have had little appeal for Muslims, but rather their common anti-Westernism.

Nazism and communism were the main forces opposed to the West, both as a way of life and as a power in the world, and as such they could count on at least the sympathy if not the support of those who saw in the West their principal enemy.

But why the hostility in the first place? If we turn from the general to the specific, there is no lack of individual policies and actions, pursued and taken by individual Western governments, that have aroused the passionate anger of Middle Eastern and other Islamic peoples. Yet all too often, when these policies are abandoned and the problems resolved, there is only a local and temporary alleviation.

The French have left Algeria, the British have left Egypt, the Western oil companies have left their oil wells, the westernizing Shah has left Iran—yet the generalized resentment of the fundamentalists and other extremists against the West and its friends remains and grows and is not appeased. The cause most frequently adduced for anti-American feeling among Muslims today is American support for Israel.

This support is certainly a factor of importance, increasing with nearness and involvement. But here again there are some oddities, difficult to explain in terms of a single, simple cause. In the early days of the foundation of Israel, while the United States maintained a certain distance, the Soviet Union granted immediate de jure recognition and support, and arms sent from a Soviet satellite, Czechoslovakia, saved the infant state of Israel from defeat and death in its first weeks of life.

Yet there seems to have been no great ill will toward the Soviets for these policies, and no corresponding good will toward the United States.

In it was the United States that intervened, forcefully and decisively, to secure the withdrawal of Israeli, British, and French forces from Egypt—yet in the late fifties and sixties it was to the Soviets, not America, that the rulers of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and other states turned for arms; it was with the Soviet bloc that they formed bonds of solidarity at the United Nations and in the world generally.

More recently, the rulers of the Islamic Republic of Iran have offered the most principled and uncompromising denunciation of Israel and Zionism. Yet even these leaders, before as well as after the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, when they decided for reasons of their own to enter into a dialogue of sorts, found it easier to talk to Jerusalem than to Washington.

At the same time, Western hostages in Lebanon, many of them devoted to Arab causes and some of them converts to Islam, are seen and treated by their captors as limbs of the Great Satan.

Another explanation, more often heard from Muslim dissidents, attributes anti-American feeling to American support for hated regimes, seen as reactionary by radicals, as impious by conservatives, as corrupt and tyrannical by both. This accusation has some plausibility, and could help to explain why an essentially inner-directed, often anti-nationalist movement should turn against a foreign power.

But it does not suffice, especially since support for such regimes has been limited both in extent and—as the Shah discovered—in effectiveness. Clearly, something deeper is involved than these specific grievances, numerous and important as they may be—something deeper that turns every disagreement into a problem and makes every problem insoluble. This revulsion against America, more generally against the West, is by no means limited to the Muslim world; nor have Muslims, with the exception of the Iranian mullahs and their disciples elsewhere, experienced and exhibited the more virulent forms of this feeling.

The mood of disillusionment and hostility has affected many other parts of the world, and has even reached some elements in the United States. It is from these last, speaking for themselves and claiming to speak for the oppressed peoples of the Third World, that the most widely publicized explanations—and justifications—of this rejection of Western civilization and its values have of late been heard. The accusations are familiar.

We of the West are accused of sexism, racism, and imperialism, institutionalized in patriarchy and slavery, tyranny and exploitation. To these charges, and to others as heinous, we have no option but to plead guilty—not as Americans, nor yet as Westerners, but simply as human beings, as members of the human race.

In none of these sins are we the only sinners, and in some of them we are very far from being the worst. The treatment of women in the Western world, and more generally in Christendom, has always been unequal and often oppressive, but even at its worst it was rather better than the rule of polygamy and concubinage that has otherwise been the almost universal lot of womankind on this planet.

Is racism, then, the main grievance? Certainly the word figures prominently in publicity addressed to Western, Eastern European, and some Third World audiences. It figures less prominently in what is written and published for home consumption, and has become a generalized and meaningless term of abuse—rather like "fascism," which is nowadays imputed to opponents even by spokesmen for one-party, nationalist dictatorships of various complexions and shirt colors.

Slavery is today universally denounced as an offense against humanity, but within living memory it has been practiced and even defended as a necessary institution, established and regulated by divine law. The peculiarity of the peculiar institution, as Americans once called it, lay not in its existence but in its abolition. Westerners were the first to break the consensus of acceptance and to outlaw slavery, first at home, then in the other territories they controlled, and finally wherever in the world they were able to exercise power or influence—in a word, by means of imperialism.

Is imperialism, then, the grievance? Some Western powers, and in a sense Western civilization as a whole, have certainly been guilty of imperialism, but are we really to believe that in the expansion of Western Europe there was a quality of moral delinquency lacking in such earlier, relatively innocent expansions as those of the Arabs or the Mongols or the Ottomans, or in more recent expansions such as that which brought the rulers of Muscovy to the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Caspian, the Hindu Kush, and the Pacific Ocean?

In having practiced sexism, racism, and imperialism, the West was merely following the common practice of mankind through the millennia of recorded history. Does it not exist anymore? Grammar exists for a reason. Go ahead and say what you want, Ken. Haters gonna hate, what can I say? It did. Agree that Islam is a really misunderstood religion by both Muslims and non Muslims.

What applied then does not apply now. If a baby is born Muslim and then grows to be an honest person, is it fair to blame everything in that person? Did you just expect Muslims to sit and wait to be killed by other nations? By the way, Flip Huggenvik, you know nothing about Islam. You have no right to just say things like this. Get educated and then come back and decide on a verdict with a cool head. Hate for all muslims is irrational when you only have a right to hate those who hurt others.

Extremists are those who lose their humanity and blame it on Islam. Have you ever watched Avatar: The Last Airbender? One of the lessons in ATLA was that even a if group has done bad things, others of the same group are capable of turning out good. You are wrong. It is Mandatory for Muslims to read the Quran.

All Muslims have read it. Extremists are those who forget moral values and blame it on Islam. Then you will find how worst is your quran in every way. In my own opinion ,I think Islam is designed for the old days and trying to force it on the morden wold without dropping some rules will be catastrophic. Muslims here are more tolerant and it shames them to hear news of terrorist in name of Islam.

If you dig into the history of Islam and how it turns Violent then you will question if it really Gods will because is is after Jesus Christ and all those blood shed is suppose to be abdoned right after Jesus Gospels. But take a more good look;if Muslims forsake many of the laws ,they will be living more as Christian. I believe God use whom he will for his work and you cannot lead the kind of muhamed pbh in the era. I am an Indian first and a Hindu next, and I just happened to see your comment and found some portions of it to be quite biased.

That is the reason Indians including muslims feel threatened by it. Over people died and the terrorists also killed a few Jews including children, in the name of Islam. The issue is that it is very easy to use Islamic ideology for indoctrination. Commandos are generally needed to neutralize these terrorists. Chistians are next on their list. If you read the true history of the Islamic invasions in India, it is replete with destruction of Hindu temples and genocide of Hindus.

The British sucked out a lot of our wealth and encouraged christian missionaries to convert Hindus to Christianity. The Portugese came to the indian state of Goa and established the Court of Inquisition which was used to convert several Hindus to Christianity.

I do not understand the obsession of the Abrahamic religions to convert everybody to their own religion using either force or via allurements. There have been so many acts of violence and organized crimes by Islamic radicals and invaders that this problem pales in comparison with cow vigilantism. However, in Islamic countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Hindu population has come down drastically in the last few decades.

How these Islamic countries have committed genocide on Hindus is all too well known; Hindu girls are forcibly abducted and married off to muslims in Pakistan; Hindus are targetted using anti-blasphemy laws and the list goes on. Unfortunately, many of the stories that appear in the media vilify Hindus probably because those who back the Abrahamic ideologies control most of the media. Islam is a totalitarian fascist dictatorship masquerading as a religion — made up by an illiterate paedo in competition with the Old Testament — promising men sex with under age girls if they followed a non existent deity.

The fake religion controls muslim followers, bans homosexuality and treats women as worth only half a man who can enter into forced marriages, incest, forced divorces, many times over in order to breed for a non existent allah.

Revenge and violence is common in the koran. Islam is the biggest threat to the world. Saudi Arabia funds mosques and spreads their version of the koran that censors and murders all critics. Islam is intolerant of all non muslims and fully intends to dominate and install islamic sharia law. Why are there Somalis in Minnesota?

Did you know that if my parents forced me to get married everything that goes wrong in that marriage is there sin and for the fact that the quran is manmade are you dumb?? We muslims are more human than u guys are. At least be respectful towards other people if you want them to listen to you.

The religion is founded by a thief, a barbaric robber who loots caravans n traders passing thru his area. And god was busy telling who he is n what he wants on earth thru the chief of thieves? Lol fact tht islam flourished n is growing say either how bad some humans on earth are or.

How dumb n foolish they are. Ummmmm what shit are u talkin? God have u even read the Quran or did u just solely rely on google and the most islamophobic person u could find? With all due respect to you, you are completely missing the point. The Christians in the comment section are not attacking Muslims, they are attacking Islam. Nothing wrong with attacking Islam. No he is not a liar. I have a quran. Jihad is in there, for the ones who do not turn to this wicked religion. Gives permission to marry 4 wives Surah Man has permission to beat his wife, Surah Surah said slay the Pagans all non-Muslims wherever you find them.

Surah smite the unbelievers. Smite at their necks. This is a death blow. Have you actually read your precious bible???

Talk about some messed up, vile, evil deeds! Stoning people to death? Having slaves? Murdering countless men, women, and children in a big ol flood? And when they should be respected.??? When they accept Allah and Mohammad and if they again turn back what Allah says slay them. My organisation will be happy to provide a detailed article about Islam to the paper. I hope the editorial staff. Islam is the religion of peace and mercy for all creatures.

But, now a day, some extremist has spread misconception about the Islam, that as, it is the religion of sword for terror. But, the actual fact is that, Islam is the religion of peace and it condemns extremism and violence. Islam promotes the peace, calm, harmony, any tranquility in society. He was the messenger of Allah SWT to convey the message of honesty, piousness, peace, mercy, integrity, and love.

He had never done any activity which indicate act of terrorizing, misconduct, racism and violation against humanity. Even though, he showed the mercy on animals, insects and plants. It did not spread by the forced of sword, rather, it spread by its golden quality.

Islam basically educates the ways of pleasant and peaceful manners to regulate the society and as well as the world.

Through this article, this message has been conveyed, that Islam is a peaceful religion for all creatures and have been given examples from the life of Hadrat Muhammad PBUH. Holy Prophet? The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The God of love peace and Mercy. There have been countless brilliant atheists who have sought out to prove the existence of God wrong and everyone of them become Christians.

Any other religion was born out of Hell and concocted by Satan as a rebellion against God, and to keep people from seeing the truth. I hope one day everyone will finally realize how much God loves them and that He is the only one worthy of our worship. Is he not exactly like u and wat is a god when they can be killed??? Sounds very familiar to me. And if you believe that as well then do not associate partners with him. You do know that Allah means God in Arabic right? Please backup your opinions with research and truth instead coming for people.

Let me correct you here. How did Jesus make the world before his own birth? Stop this please. We have our own beliefs. On the next Ramadan at the same year, one day I stayed up at night playing games, and just like my father had described happened. The sky turned into an amazing green color with light. I was amazed and surprised. Then my eyes closed shut and I woke up to be in the same room with my old tablet. See for yourself. Who caused all this?

Would your God which you believe in be happy you all are spreading rumors of us? Allah has 99 names and each of them are accurate to who he is. Forgiving, and other 98 meanings which mean something good. I thought of Christianity, Hinduism, etc. Well, not all of Christianity is like dirty mud, just you people attacking us are. I know Jesus was a loving person who would never say bad things about Islam. Jesus is the human form through G od, you do not understand sonship, so pls do not speak about it.

What about everyone before that. Also Jesus himself in the Bible claims to be only a man not a God. How can God be killed. Christianity doesnt make sense but we muslims believe it was changed by Christians. We love Jesus isa as a prophet and his mother as a pious woman. What do ya mean by your god and our god. During these last 10 days there was a heat wave, and there was only 1 day that was forecasted to have a regular temperature one or the signs.

Muslim reverts from Christianity to Islam are Muslims because they learnt and understood Islam. Jesus Christ in the flesh, resurrected-ascent into heaven, eye witnessed, Saint Luke , is the same for believers.

Teach the same to your fellow brothers who think their religion is superior and they must free the earth from Kafirs non-muslims.

Love for muslims is only meant for themselves and not for others. I am sure if you will teach them this they will kill you too.

Love and peace has no place in islam. Same is Christianity then… Slavery in the s was all defended with the Bible in the hand. The issue is that Muslims can claim to be peaceful, but they must ignore the many hadiths and Quranic verses that prove otherwise.

Why pick on Muslims? Do you just need a reason to hate like all the others? Is it right for you to judge the whole group based on certain individuals? If you have judged these certain individuals separately, why are you being unfair to the other individuals and grouping them?

God was busy revelation to the leader of a bloody barbaric theif who looted caravans n traders. Its a beautiful religion of peace misunderstood by people. It only says gobble up land, resources of everyone, if they give, they r good, if they dont , they are Islamophobic, fight them, debate them, behead them Lol.

They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife.

Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.

Prophet Muhammad — the chief of all robbers in the deserts. God is Jesus Christ in the flesh, resurrected-ascent into heaven, eye witnessed. Saint Luke , 1 Corinthians Search where Jesus said he was god and if you say in the bible, the bible got changed or updated by human written and how did these humans see jesus.

Exactly your opinion. That is your belief you are misguided and whoever is misguided can not be guided to the right path except his lord. If quran is a foolish way of life then western countries follow the rules of our beloved prophet Muhammad S. W and khaliph Umer R. Muslim are trainee terrorists. Yup, another Karen who has no idea about Islam. Our religion teaches us to be kind to everybody.

No, they have no idea what Islam is! Baby machine? Islam cares about women so much. May Allah ahow you the right path. I will pray for you today. Well said, religion divides humans and causes wars and terrorism. The difficulty is the interpretation of religion in the times we live in as opposed to ancient times when these religions developed. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers non-Muslims. This is what you do to spread Islamophobia.

Surah And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

I really agree. We never did anything wrong. Nah they rape women and stone them to death just because they want to marry some one and they are force to marry someone and and terrorism exist so dont ever say ur religion is peaceful none is not even urs. For understanding that properly we need to know the context.

Just today I had a muslim man attack my believe and storm my day with defiance,and hate, at the end he shook my hand saying he is my friend. In the past I gave him advise to grow his business, and hand him marketing material, out of human love. Now Is all these what you call peaceful, are you really concious of your religious teachings. My heart is very sad to have find out personally. God is Jesus Christ in the flesh, resurrected-ascent into heaven, positively seen.

Islam is the religion of hate. They are destroying Western values while using their storybook to condone the massacre of millions of innocent women and gay individuals in their third world shithole countries.

It is hard for a regular muslim to completely comprehend the words of Allah and takes many years of studying the quran so what credentials do you have that makes you an expert? You are taking these versus out of context and you certainly do not know or understand the persecution the muslims faced during the time Allah revealed those versus to our beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

Also are you reading what is before the verses in Surah 9 which is about war. Yeah… I got to agree with this one… Misconception and misunderstanding is a big issue… Instead of interpreting those phrases on your own, seek Islamic scholars who learn about it for years. He said very much interesting, and he also said that Muslim leaders or imams are told by the Quran to lie where it is beneficial.

Everyone knows nothing good comesout of it. Just imagine killing your fellow humans all in the name of what? And when you endure, a person who endures, endures to the end. Since Adam sinned in the grounding of Eden, a thousand years ago or even further, our creator has given humans the chance to repent and change, they by sending in his son Jesus to be killed in other to pay the dept that Adam toke by sinnig, meaning a perfect man for a perfect man.

If I was taught that the creator told his servant to kill his creations because they are going astray instead of telling his servant to find his creations who are going straying and bring them back to him, I would leave Islam and forget religion, referlibery believe in evolution then because that will make more sense that humans will borns stupid from the beginning for them to be killing themselves for no reasons, because they is no one to unite them.

For the love of god you people need help. Like actual help. Mf really out here writing paragraphs. Islam, to be clear, is not a terrorist group. There is a difference between Islam and Muslims. Islam, in the eyes of us Muslims, is a perfect religion. Muslims, however, are humans, and even God according to our religion recognizes this. Islam teaches us to be peaceful, to be kind, to worship God alone, and to do good things. Sadly, there are people in the world who claim to be Muslim and follow Islamic Law, when they are really just using Islam as a fake shield to hide behind while they cause terrorism.

If you want real, solid information from people with true faith, look for the Muslim scholars who lecture about how our Prophet Muhammad lived and how we should do good deeds. Can I hold you accountable what those people did? No, its not fair. First, the Prophet Muhammad and his companions patiently bore vehement persecution in Mecca for nearly 13 years.

This included a three-year starvation boycott from which his wife Khadija later died. These refugees trekked miles through the desert to escape terrorism, finally arriving in the predominantly Jewish city of Medina. If Islam taught terrorism and enforced Sharia, this was the time to demonstrate this. Instead, Prophet Muhammad formed the Constitution of Medina with the Jews, establishing a unified secular state. Yet the extremists trying to kill Muslims in Mecca pursued the Muslims to kill them in Medina.

And now — finally — the Quran addressed fighting for the first time, permitting Muslims to fight in self-defence. All subsequent verses addressing fighting are pre-conditioned on these clearly outlined rules of self-defense. Oppression is indeed worse than murder. If they fight you, then kill them; such is the penalty of the disbelievers. But no one bothers to understand, even when told, that this verse was revealed when Muslims on the Hajj pilgrimage were attacked and killed by the Quraysh tribe who had signed a treaty with the Prophet to not attack the pilgrims.

First people are calling us violet, and saying we have no peace, calling us sinners, calling our religion fake, sending hate, hurting us, and then saying WE are the bad ones? They never fought back. WE are the bad ones? Think again, smart asses. Great point, but I want to add on something. Have you Flip Huggenvik studied the character of our prophet Muhammad?

If you have ever studied our prophet, you would have noticed that he never lied in his life, he never broke any of the treaties with the Jews and Meccans, and he never, EVER encouraged violence. This is the closest to perfect a man can be, always God-conscious. Those around him stopped their violence too, and began worshipping God like good people. After the Prophet died, there were 4 righteous Khalifs, or leaders, who lead the Islamic State. The 3rd one, Uthman, underwent lots of turmoil.

He spent nearly the whole night in prayer sometimes. When false rumors accused him, he justly disproved them without causing harm to anyone. When his people were out of hand and laid siege on his household, he refused to allow any of his close companions to kill even in self-defense. These people were not terrorist at all, it is only the people in recent years who have become hypocrites. One has to read all the adjoining verses in conjunction. Muslim women suffered the same fate when they were captured by the enemies.

That is why Quran hints at this and says that Muslim should not grieve over what they have lost. If there was a treaty, the prisoners of war were always exchanged. It is only when there was none, that prisoners of war were taken as slaves. Even so, one month had to pass before a slave woman could marry another man, allowing sufficient time for her family to seek her freedom, if they wanted to. These women were either freed, released on payment of ransom, or exchanged with other Muslim prisoners held by the enemy.

Assalamualaikum Peace be upon You Hi, This is an entirely fake report. First of all, islam is the religion of peace and it does not mean to surrender. Notice what Assalamualaikum means. It is not a religion which demands its people to kill. In the quran it tells me to fight those who disbelieve. But fight does not mean kill them, it does not mean obliterate their societies. In fact I am fighting you right now, whoever who disagrees with me, I am fighting you through this comment.

The wars and terrorism, have you not thought about it being linked to politics. Even worse, dnt you know the ruling on whom is a proven murderer, it is Death according to Sharia, unless the families of the victims say otherwise. Nay, we say it was their leaders. O people, Islam teaches us to spread peace and love. It is said in the Bible that you must love your neighbours and your enemies and that is what we are instructed to do. The reason islam conquered the lands was because it allowed religious diversity.

It allowed jews to pray in Jerusalem, where the Christians banned them from entering and the the Christians were allowed to pray in their churches.

Dear people, I pray for you and for myself, may Allah, or God if it makes you comfortable, protect and guide us towards his mercy and his rewards. I hope I will see you in paradise. May Allah protect us from the fire. I speak Arabic. Use google translate or just search it up. Islam is peaceful religion thats why islam teach Muslims to kills jews and non Muslims kafir if islam is peaceful than why allah mohommad kills many innocent people?? If you believe Islam teach violence, I wanna ask you a question, Do you know there are about 1.

If that was a perversion of Christianity, as many argue, or a fluke, then why can we not extend the same thinking toward, say, the Muslim conquests of the Middle East, or, dare I say it, the Islamic State? You cannot argue that one religion is inherently violent because of the following historical examples, and then wave away the violent history of Christianity and say the exception proves the rule. Time after time, as Crusaders slogged southeast on their umpteenth trip to the Holy Land, they slaughtered the Jews in their path.

They herded them into synagogues and set the buildings alight. The Crusaders killed so many Jews in the name of their Christian faith that it was the most stunning demographic blow to European Jewry until the Holocaust.

Which, just a friendly reminder, happened in Christian, civilized Europe only some years ago. The Christian Church was ruthless with people whose faith was in any way a deviation from the canon, torturing and burning heretics at the stake. Jewish life in Muslim countries, though still saddled with all kinds of restrictions and orders to wear funny clothing and sporadic violence, was far less bloody than in the civilized Christian West.

I would much rather he address the persecution of Jewish journalists by his own followers, some of whom freely interweave Christian symbols, white power references, and violent threats in their communications. Just for the radical Muslims. Watching Trump and the Christian right go after Islam for being homophobic is, frankly, jaw-dropping.

And yet, in the wake of the Orlando shooting, some Christians came out to say what they really thought of those gays in that club. In fact, the unbelievable vitriol with which conservative Christians have insisted on maligning not just radicals but an entire religion looks a lot like the kind of violence and intolerance of which they accuse Muslims. Friday will mark the one-year anniversary of Dylann Roof killing nine people in the middle of a Bible study in Charleston, S.

By some accounts , Roof came from a church-going family and attended Christian summer camp. The cold-blooded murder of a Catholic priest at a French church last week is an tragic reminder that the anti-Christian sentiments of ISIS are manifesting themselves on European soil. To succeed in the fight against ISIS and all other religious groups that promote a hate-fuelled, intolerant, and divisive worldview requires understanding that this is a battle of ideas.

Where ISIS desires division, we must show unity. All rights reserved.
