In the past Christians have been every bit as ruthless as Muslims are today, if not worse. I will not go so far as to say that Islam is a religion of peace. I agree that Islam has a problem with many of it's followers and leaders who do not speak out against the slaughter of the innocent, I have brought this up many times.
I have often wondered why more leaders do not speak out against the terrorists and suicide bombers. The only answer I can come up with are these answers, 1) Some are afraid to become targets themselves 2) There is a significant enough amount that either sympathize or outright adhere to the belief that those who commit these acts are actually defending Islam and the leaders fear they will lose favor and following 3) Many do but they simply don't get the air time and publicity those who preach hate receive.
"If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels'] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harbouring inner animosity for them Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers except when infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act friendly towards them.
You never cease to amaze me, in every attempt to take up for Islam you have to be critical of Christianity. I am not critical of Christianity. Since when is stating facts being critical of Christianity? Most of your posts as well as others keep saying well the Christians did too. Probably has something to do with the fact that they did. This day and time Christians are not killing people for not being Christians.
When was the last time a Christian killed someone in the name of Christianity? Muslims kill people regularly just because they are not muslims.
"Ask them for their help. Thereby make the religion of Islam agreeable to them. And when you are resolved in the matter of religion concerning fighting your enemy you will have the advantage."
Obviously many posters on this board havn't the foggiest idea of what ALL muslims believe nor a clue about the basic tenets of islam.
Back in horse and buggy days they would probably be at the front of the line to purchase some magic snake oil.
Islam is the religion of peace in that when all have submitted and surrendered, then there will be peace.
(In fourteen hundred years this has never happened where islam has achieved dominance, but like socialists who also have a history of complete failure, their fanatical beliefs keep them struggling onward.)
According to the authoritative Arabic text, Al-Taqiyya Fi Al-Islam: Taqiyya [deception] is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.
I never said they did. I simply said you must have missed the post where I said that Christians are not killing others for their beliefs in modern times.
Does the era in which Christians killed muslims for being muslims really matter?

With all the info on the world wide web, you'd think they'd be better educated on Islam. :banghead2:
Not much, but what does that have to do with anything? I can watch 3000 of my fellow citizens die on 1 day because of them and that tells me all I need to know.
This makes about as much sense as saying you watched a person murdered by a black or hispanic man so therefore all black or hispanic people are your enemy, and that one act by an individual tells you all you need to know about the race.

I have watched them drag burned Americans through their streets and hang them from bridges and cut others heads off, so if me hating that being done to innocent Americans is being prejudiced against evil muslims, then I guess I am guilty as charged.
From a murdering, torturing, corrupt, power grabbing perspective...medevil Christianity and Islam today are no different. It's just especially troubling with Islam because they now have 21st century weapons.
