Can Muslims and Christians be compatible?

i don't think so Muslims can't be friend of any other religion. they don't want peace. they want that muslim rules the world

From what I understand about Islam, I think we disagree on some of it's principals as you outlined them. 1, Allah is not a moon god. He is the same God as the God of Abraham and Isaac, the one God. I don't think the Qur'an forbids friendship with Christians and Jews. Maybe discourages, but doesn't forbid. How could they try to convert Christians and Jews if they don't make friends with them? They are not instructed to marry four times, they are allowed to. Not all of them have that many wives. Many Muslim men do not beat their wives, any more than Christian men do. They can, but they don't have to. There are many similarities between the Qur'an and the Bible and also many of the same principals. The basic, irrconciable difference is the Christian's belief in Jesus as the Son of God. To the Muslim this is an anathema and the unforgiveable sin.

Are you meaning can the people who choose to follow one or the other get along? If so, then I disagree. I think they can get along. I spent a few months in Egypt and they got along great. There even was buildings that were split between a church and a mosque. It's very easy to get along if you don't let what you believe get in the way. Of course there are major differences between the two but that doesn't mean you should argue about them. But you're right about them being vastly different between what they believe. Did you know that all religions in the world can come down to just four? Every other religion has branched off from four separate religions: hinterland, hebrew, hindu, and one more that also begins with an "h" (possibly han) but I don't remember what it was, sorry.

I think no esp if they strongly believe their faith. Maybe for sometime they can be compatible simply as people, but there will come a time that each of them would choose or compromise their faith for their relationship.

I think they can. One would have to look beyond personal religious beliefs and see each other for who they really are. It would be wonderful if everyone could just accept everyone for who and what they are. John lennon's IMAGINE comes to mind here.

There is so much more to compatability than differences and we, as human beings, have so much more in common than we have differences. Also, religion is, at its best, an individual experience. At its worst, it is a rigid form of power and control used to manipulate people into rigid and polarized stances. That is true of any doctrine cloaked as religion but really used to divide people. The most powerful core of any religion is one that promotes love and peace, not blind allegiance. That is true of any religion be it Christianity or Muslin. Unfortunately, people with political motives in both religions use their dogma as cause for war and other destructive ends.

Sure they can, just like Christians and Satanists can, just like different races can, different cultures, different anything...PROVIDED they WANT TO BE.....thats the key..We, being ppl with freewill are very capable of being compatible with others regardless of race, sexuality, culture, location and religion...the only thing that prevents it is ppl not really wanting it and in many cases, ppl not thinking for themselves

They can be compatable as friends because they can walk away from each other for a break.As far as marriage no they are together,holidays,family occasians,raising the children.And God does not want us to marry into the other religion.When I was young the young man that lived next door was a catholic and he was engaged to a really nice girl that was also catholic.He broke up with her and started dting a jewish girl and they got married a few months later.About a year later they had a baby and found that they could not get along and they divorced.Later my neighbor who was non denominational married a girl that was catholic.They too had a son.The main floor was hers and the basement was his.On christan holidays she had here floor decorated as such and on their very few holidays it was done as such on his floor.Non-denominational religion has very few holidays and have their sabath on Saturday.Catholic's is on Sunday.The boy could not join sports or scouts because on Saturday he was in church will his father and on Sunday with his mom.They divorced and still after that poor child was picked up for visitation every Friday night by his father to go to his church and brought back home to his mom and catholic church on Saturday night.That boy is taught two different things and has to grow up and decide which religion to choose.If he picks Non Denominational than mom and her family are disapointed or even mad at him and vise versa if he chooses catholic.See,it is not just about compatability between the adults.What happens to the kids.

Muslimmand Chrichans are people and same blood which in Hindus blood. they are same catagiry.

Tombiz- I am a Westerner who has dated a Muslim. I'm not exactly a practising Christian and he was not a strict Muslim. We got along just fine and had many a great laugh together. I also have platonic Muslim friends. Can a staunch Christian and a militant Muslim get along? Probability indicates that they cannot, for the reasons you outline in your post. However, nothing is impossible if we have enough determination and if we all just open our minds a little bit.

mr. tombiz firstly iwould like to tell u that never looks at the believers or any religion look at the religion it self i mean to say is that dont consider muslims see wat islam says....... ur first point : allah is the creator of whole universe even u and me....not just arabia.... gepgraphically: turn towards kaaba not mecca......and we turn there beacuse allah has given one direction in which we should pray so tht unity is produced between everyone.... socially: islam dosent forbids from making frndfrom other relifion islam says for human brotherhood although it is said to maintan a certain distance in friendship just beacuse u dont get converted into other religion.....besides tht u are allowed to have non-muslim frnds...... domestically: n islam it is not instructed that u have to marry four women......but u have the choice to marry four women but on certain conditions......its not like u just keep marrying......and beating up ur wife is not instructed.....thts y i said dont consider muslims..... politically: as i said above dont consider the muslims consider the islam......mullah dosent teach destruction of america .......its just beacuse of some selfish ppl who are destroying the image of islam.... philosiphically: may i ask u tht haveu ever read quran....qith details....how can u say that islam dosent allow freedom...... allah is never reffered as heavely father ......u are rite beacuse ......he is one and the only one he is nor born and he is neither given birth..... if u need any more info on islam ......i m there on mylot ...... have a nice day.....

I would definitely say YES. Though there are differences in the principles that they follow but i believe that if both parties are open-minded and that they respect each other and enjoy being together, there should be no problem. I have an officemate who married a muslim but she still keep being a christian -- they seem to be happy together.

no, because muslim and christians different.

YES. Here in Mindanao (Philippines), Muslim's and Christian's were unite together. They treat each other as brother and sister. If that's the case, they are compatible.
