The problem is that fallen man has tried to conquer the earth in the name of God - They failed and caused many more to not accept the truths of christianity. Now Islam is sort of doing the same thing and will have the same outcome. And the only other thing I will say is that everyone will know the truth eventually - and that goes for myself as well because I don't have all the answers either.

regardless... more have died in the name of Christianity... period. Every religion has zealots that misinterpret the truth for their own gain... most recently televangelists have proven this.

Yes, I agree with you. What's your point?

my point is, why do people keep bashing Islam?

Every Muslim I know is peace loving and respectful of other religions. This guy being quoted is obviously a zealot. The Koran does not tell people to go and kill in the name of Allah. It's quite the opposite. A true Muslim adheres to Mohammed's teachings of peace and tolerance.

It may be peace loving in text form, but who are the ones being the suicide bombers? I do think it is important to look at religion of today and see who is filled with hate and who is not. I havn't seen any suicide Christians or Jews blowing themselves up. Actions speak louder than words my friend. That being said, anyone who supports terrorism are themselves terrorists and need to be killed. I don't care what Christianity did within the past 2000 years. What are they doing today? Yes their are some whacko Christians out there. But don't let those few give you the impression that True Christianity is whacko. Can we agree on this?

Do you know any peace loving muslims outside of the US, say in Syria or other muslim countries? Or are they that tell you they are peace loving those who you work with or see around town. Amazing the difference a distance of half the world makes.

Considering there are 2 Billion Muslims all over the world, I don't think they're ALL filled with hate and committing suicide bombings. Yes, there are radicals in Every religion. Look what happened in Waco.

Don't let those few Whacko Muslims make you think the entire Religion is crazy. It's not any crazier than any other religion IMO.

Honestly, a Christian saying ALL Muslims outside the US are filled with hate sounds Whacko to me.

Yes, there ARE peace loving Muslims. How about in the United Kingdom, Swedan (320,000), Germany, Australia, India.....

There are a Lot of so called "Christians" spouting about a Holy war too... Trying to characterize an entire Religion with 2 Billion people as hateful terrorists is a prime example.

They do have differing beliefs, but for the most part each story in the bible can be found in the koran. As one of my Muslim friends put it, "They are the same religon just differnt names
Read the Koran for yourself and you will see that Christianity is the only 'religion' that does not call for the destruction and murder of other faiths. Don't go by what has been passed down from generation to generation. Talking with atheists they will tell you the Bible contradicts itself over and over. Try to get them to show you where it does, now that's another story.

From all the posts I've read of yours runnert, you really surprise me with that comment.

I thought you were above painting people with the same brush and stereotyping.

Do you also believe that:
* All black people steal and rob?
* all gay people are evil perverts and child molestors?
* All Jews are cheap and stingy?

Sorry buddy, but IMHO, that comment is really absurd.

Come on, quit being such a knee-jerker. He wasn't implying that. Are you familiar with investigative techniques? I've got news that will make your liberal heart bleed. The government has and will be profiling people for years to come. Do you own a home in the rough part of town? If not, you are guilty of racism according to your thought processes.

Sorry, you are reading this to the extreme and not in the context I am trying to get across. Sorry for not being clear enough. I AM NOT saying that anyone who is a suicide bomber (make sure I spell that freakin word correct, lol) is a muslim. J-150 stated that Christianity has killed more people than any other religion - why . What I am saying here is that now, the only ones that I know that are declaring Jihad and commiting suicide bombing missions are the extreme muslims. I AM NOT saying all muslims are bad. I am only pointing out the one who are blowing themselves up and killing others. THIS is why they are being bashed so much.

Need a convert oh great Habibi? If I strap water baloons to my body and throw myself at a Zanio-coated vehicle, will I earn 21 Virgins and a year's supply of Liquid Glass?

I've got an idea... everyone go read the Bible and the Koran (however it's being spelled today), then come back, and fight with you interpretations.

Until then I'll continue to use Meguiars on occasions...
