This isn't true at all, the only people who believe that killing for the sake of killing is a good thing are the fundamentalists fringe. The majority of Muslims would tell you that killing innocent men and women is wrong and not justified by their faith.

Any muslim who says this is going against what the religion of Islam teaches. These murderers are not on the fringe, they are exactly what their religion teaches.

How many Christians kill people in the name of Christianity?

There are people who cry and want to bring lawsuits because we have "In God We Trust" on our money and because we say in our Pledge of Allegiance "One Nation Under God"

If this is the case then would a Christian who does not believe that the women and children of your enemy should be put to death going against a significant portion of the faiths religious text?

Before you answer consider this, you are basing that opinion on the text of another faith. If a Muslim was to read your text he would see that much of what is written deals with the harsh treatment of anything that is not Jewish. He might believe your religion condones the slaughter of women and children, would this be a fair assessment?

Over the years there have probably been millions.

Big difference between a billboard and slogans printed on currency.

Does the Bible or Christian Preachers teach this, no. That is the difference that you don't understand they are taught and are supposed to kill those who don't believe as they do.

There are people (you) that do the same thing to other religions, apparently. If you don't like people doing that to Christians than you should be the last person to do it to someone else's religion. It's not about getting even it's about being an example and taking the high road. The people that want the fight will be dealt with but the people that want peace should be allowed the same rights you want for your religion.

Not really. Whether you want to believe it or not, most Muslim people today are actually peace-loving people. It's just the crazies on the far end that project such an image of hate.

You all are so quick to condemn Christianity but defend Islam, people who have killed American soldiers and innocent American citizens. You all are unbelievable.

1) Yes, the people that are holding those signs are lead by a man who calls himself a Christian.

2)Those people holding signs are taught that the soldiers who died deserved it because America has sinned.

Do you consider the people in that photo Christians? They sure do!

The point is just because someone calls themselves a Christian or Muslim does not make it so. The majority of Muslims simply do not condone the wholesale slaughter of the innocent, just as Christians do not condone the behavior of these men and women who call themselves Christian.

Who has condemned Christianity on here? I'm not talking about a discussion on if God exists but weather or not Christians have a right to gather? Who has condemned that?

I am a Christian, I do not condemn it, just pointing out the hypocrisy in the argument. I do not defend Islam, just pointing out the truth of the matter, Islam is not my enemy, it has no bearing on my life what so ever. Radicals do however and there is a difference.

I'm not condemning anything. I'm just trying to put the shoe on the other foot for a minute here.

I have absolutely no problem with Christianity. I have taken Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior(Twice, actually. I don't know why I did it the second time). But I don't think that some Christians realize that there are nuts in Christianity, just as fervent in hate as their Islamic counterparts.

Well you all keep believing that Islam is not the enemy, they kill in the name of Islam, but yea sure they are tolerant of others and peaceful.

Because Islam as a faith is not the enemy. It is the extremists on the very far end of the spectrum that are the true enemies that we are fighting against.

I'd venture to say that all rational Muslim people are ashamed that some of those terrorists call themselves "Muslims".

Absolutley, they want us dead because we are Christians, no other reason. And they are not radical muslims, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

You're spot on. I call them radical, because it's hard to believe anyone would believe what they are taught and then carry it out.
