[49.15] The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Apostle then they doubt not and struggle (jihad) hard with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah; they are the truthful ones.

Why take a mockery out of something that is already vengeful of the fact
that they have nothing in the east and the west have everything, yeah right.
Why dont these people open their eyes and smell the coffeee for once?
Without us, they wouldn't have a job to go to and peace and structure.
Without us, they would still be starving
Without us their infernal democracy wouldn't have changed.
So without us, their countries and their continents would not have survived
through black monday and beyond.
I have little more to say on the matter.

I know glow
We shouldnt have the righ to vote.

But i think that you are too honest too.
You can express a lie from time to time which can make us feel well.
Honest is good. But you dont need to be honest if it is not requested.

The only Christian religious tradition with no blood on its hands is the Mennonites, and they would say that the reason for this is because the church made a terrible church/state compromise with Constantine in the fourth century that caused Christianity to be associated with state in the West thereafter. (They traded the cross for the sword, as some have put it.) I have to say that I agree with them. As ruveyn said, the church only became "detoxified" again after the Enlightenment/Protestant Reformation when the church and state again began to separate.

Nevertheless, Christianity was nonviolent during the first few hundred years, and Christians have that ideal to look back to, even if they don't live up to it. Islam, on the other hand, has been somewhat less progressive because Muhammad was a warrior, and Islam is predominant in parts of the world that never went through an enlightenment/Industrial Revolution/etc.

To answer the original question, I think the answer is as simple as Christianity was the "established" church in the West for a very long time and people are used to it, while Islam is "foreign" and therefore scary. The propoganda since 9/11 hasn't helped either.

If you are honest then you are fragile. When I was honset I got banned from here. We have the smae God in the end? If you reject it then you remove yourself from us. Heard about that poinson cures poison?

The fact is that there have been Muslims living in America since the 1700s, having been given land by the Quakers.

There have been Muslims living as obedient Muslims, dress code, dietary restrictions, time out for prayers, and I am not aware of organized hatred against them.

Quite recently there have been organized attempts by Muslim communities to replace local law with Sharia Law.

It has only been in the last few years that there has been actual aggression regarding observation or obedience to Islamic laws and traditions demanded by Islamic groups.

I was at a buffet restaurant when a young Muslim told the server that a new knife must be used, because the one being used may have sliced pork.


I wanted SO badly to tell him that he should not be eating ANY meat there, as none of it was Halal!
