why do people bash islam but love christianity??

Post Reply New Topic

a lot of killings in history were carried out by christians, many heretics burned at the stake, millions of muslims and jews slaughtered in the name of christ, yet it's called the religion of love and peace universally. in the bible a woman can't talk in church because it's shameful. WTH?? If this were islam the world would go on an islam bashing spree, but because it's christianity the world remains mute. in the bible apostates are to be killed on the spot. in the bible christ made a whip of cords and started whipping gamblers in the temple. in the bible humanity goes to hell just because adam ate from a tree, WTH??? In the Bible it's replete with contradictions (example: whoever sees jesus has seen god. yet in the bible it says that no one has ever seen god and lived). i could go on forever about this "religion of love" but this is ample evidence that christianity isn't something to brag about. but apparently most of the muslim haters are christians who purport to be followers of a holy pure religion. anyone who's ever read the bible will find such a statement ludicrous and hypocritical. some of my dearest teachers are christians and i love them fervently like parents, but the moment i see a christian bashing islam to elevate christianity i facepalm myself and cringe at how pervasive this hypocrisy has become. an atheist who bashes islam probably misunderstands islam. even if islam is a cult (for the sake of argument let's just say that it is a cult), a christian who bashes islam is a hypocrite. in fact, a lot of the facets of islam's doctrine that are maligned are magnified in the bible. for example, like i mentioned earlier people hate islam because women pray behind men. in christianity women can't speak in church. yet look which religions gets all the bashing. despicable


it's sad that everyone hate mongers islam and rides the anti islam bandwagon but everyone is tight lipped about Christianity and afraid to scrutinize their doctrine. why must muslims always be the stigma of humanity and maligned so ardently?? i dont hate christians but am aggravated by the sheer hypocrisy by christians who scrutinize islam so ardently and cherry pick verses to bash islam, but turn a blind eye away from their religion which is replete with contradictions and barbarism. id rather have an atheist bash both religions then a christian who vilifies islam but venerates christianity

I don't worry about it. Nobody has any reason to hate Pagans.

Well, some Christians do. Because we aren't Christian.

Muslims don't bother me. Neither do Christians. As long as the Muslims aren't flying planes into buildings and trying to blow up races and as long as the Christians aren't blowing up Federal Buildings or abortion clinics, I'm fine with them.

Out of the big three religions, the Jews are the only ones who haven't just snapped and killed a lot of people for disagreeing with them. I like them best.

[29.46] And do not dispute with the followers of the Book (Christians and Jews) except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit.

We are friends really. But you do have a point. I happen to be muslim and i know islam better than non-muslims. I would like to think that the best people are always worst thought of in this world. Only hypocrites comes through in our world.

Just see the beginning here in this chapter, the hypocrites.hti.umich.edu

Christianity has become largely detoxified since the Enlightenment. The same cannot be said of Islam.

Christianity has been bashed quite a lot, perhaps more than necessary (depends on one's level of exposure I suppose).

Most such people realise that most Western Christians don't follow their book to the letter and that the likes of Westboro who follow the more hateful parts are the exceptions, rather than the rules.

They don't realise that the same is true of Western Muslims. They're essentially normal people who eat different meat and fast for one month in eleven. There are a few horrible people who are Muslims, and there are horrible people who do horrible things in the name of Islam, but these people are a small minority.

It is true that far more horrible things are done in the name of Islam in Islamic countries (e.g. severe punishments for rape victims, denial of education to girls), but that doesn't seem to be why Islamophobes hate Muslims so much, because they'll often say things like "I wish all the Muslims would just go back to Pakistan".

I despise religious extremism in all its forms, but I also despise the levels of hatred directed towards innocent Muslims.
