More advantageous to fight Christians.

Hi, As far as I concern, every religion has their own extremist. I guess your lecturer is one of them. There are good people in each religion too that you can't tag them as evil or enemy just because of their faith. Unless you find any extreme action done by your Muslim brothers, otherwise they will be your good friends too.

wow. I wonder what kind of agenda your school has to let someone like that speak at your school. Its like they're trying to promote terrorism. That guy should have never been allowed to speak at that school, and that school should be fined. Someone that will attack someone just because they have different beliefs is evil.

In fact all religions have this problem of infighting within them. It all started from those past where color and social hierarchy played significant role in the society. It created different groups and now each fight with one another. The problem with muslims is that such fights are quite visible, whereas in many other religions the fights easy to observe, but doesn't mean that its not there. Unfortunatley none of our religions today teach us to treat others alike, especially people from other religion. Instead each one imparts hatred for others and thats the root cause of all problems today.

Every religion in the world believe in doing good and be nice to all mankind. As a muslim it's true that we also sometime had this terrible 'who's-the-best' attitude in our kind. The truth is we don't tend to be enemy with other religion and people. It's had been written to stay in the community and consider others believe or religion our enemy. We alway appreciate mankind and others. We are prohibited to look onto others even thy're not muslim as enemies. We are encourage to join in make friends visit each others and live in harmony. But the misconception of these extremes thinking that only their's is the best ruined the perception of people towards us. If you choice to be a non-muslim then its okay with us as long as we create a peaceful life together.

lol not true Jayara, Though I agree many fights start among christain brothers as well, my church is working to be united, this saturday some from our group are heading to a messianic jewish church, I'm thinking about going...could be quite an experience, and In the past we have teamed with another church for a couple different events, But I also agree there are many politics going on in the church as well, like in my own, I see many people with different beliefs coming in under one flag and having a class together, but sometimes that can be quite difficult, I mean what do you expect to happen when the teacher has a different belief from 1/3 of the class and another 1/3 agrees and another 1/3 stands silent, just watching... I recently left my youth group because I couldnt handle anymore. so I joined the adults class, and am now much happier... (even If I do feel just a bit out of place) so yes, even though I'm not muslim, I can say for the christains, we probably wouldnt be kicking and punching each other, but if there were no other religions but christianity, we would be very divided, fighting over Gods word, and what it means. Kinda sad if you think about it... To end this is a quote my brother got from somewhere that he gave me. : All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

What school do you go to? As far as your question, I am not an expert on the Muslim faith, but it is simular to other faiths. different groups get different meanings from the same material. Your hard core or Terrorist type Muslims believe that their religious text mandates that they convert people to their faith, or they kill them. There is no middle ground, in christianity there is a passage that say's, man can only kill your body, but sin can kill your soul, or words to that effect. Take that and another phrase, it is better to die and save your soul than to live and lose it. These things taken by the right person could lead them to the conclusion that it is better to kill someone to save their soul than to let them turn away from God and condem their soul. This is what has happened to the Muslim faith, a small radical group, through fear and intimidation force people to adhear to their views. Also the old saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But after the enemy is defeated they again become enemies. I hope this is understandable.

I hope that your saying is not the case. In every religion there is various theological differences between a group and another. One can remember the difference between Catholics and Protestans that lead to violence in Ireland. Yes rivalry exists between Sunni versus Shiite fromw aht I have learned over theological difference. I think we should cherish diversity.

Hi I'm not a muslim. But I have few good friends who are muslims. So, I have learned from them a lot about Muslim religion. Like other religion, muslim religion too advocate brotherhood. But the problem with the muslims are that they have huge dependence on their priests. And most of these priests falsely advocated hatred. They misguide the people and incite violence in order to establish their control over the community. Well, in muslim religion, an enemy is an enemy to mankind. The definition of enemy doesn't mean that all other than a particular group of muslims are enemy to mankind. Unfortunately priests to satisfy their own vasted interest target different religions as the enemy to mankind. More muslims are now trying to come out of the grip of such priests (Maulavi). Even these moderate group ara also targetted by the dogmatic priests as enemy. Misguided muslim people attack who is non muslim. My intention certainly not to hurt anyone's sentiment or belief. But unfortunately the largest growing religion has become a terror for people of other religion. This is what actual muslim religion doesn't advocate.

I am a Christian (Mennonite, to be exact) and my husband is a Sunni Muslim, from a Muslim country (Morocco). His family and all of his friends that are Muslim, and all of the Arab muslims that I know for that matter, have no desire to "fight" against Christians. They have a desire to have peace with Christians. I mean, they wish that I would convert to Islam because they want me to be saved, but then again, Christians do the same thing with Muslims. So other than that, no, I don't think that it is favorable for Muslims to fight against Christians. There are Muslim extremists who fight against secularism in the Christian name, but most of them aren't fighting Christianity in itself. Christianity is looked upon as the most honorable religion below Islam. People need to realize that. 9/11 was not an attack on Christians, it was an attack on America. Muslims don't hate Jesus - Jesus is a great prophet in Islam! Of course there will always be Christians who hate Muslims and there will always be Muslims who hate Christians, and that will bring about fighting, that is just our nature. However, it is very wrong to make generalized statements about ALL Muslims and ALL Christians.
