When Muslims say that Christians still kill in the name of God and point out World leaders and War?

Do they understand that all World Leaders make war,

That what freaks out Westerners is that even the regular individuals of Islam kill for their religion.

The notion of a struggle against an occupier(Israel and Palestine) can be noble. But when you attach the belief that you get 72 virgins in heaven for blowing yourself up, it loses its nobility.

I have also never seen a Christian beheading a muslim and start cheering about it. Thats INSANE, like horror movie insane.

What gives?

Update:

Sherzade, those things that happen in Abu Ghrab Prison were horrible, but not once did the people who committed then annouce they were doing for the honor of Christ.

People of Christian faith do horrible things all the time, but they don't do it in the name of Christ....

Can you see what I'm saying?

Update 2:

sen b - where did this 72 virgins thing come from then?

also

Are those soliders who committed those atrocites not being punished by the US Military?

They are not being heralded as heroes of the faith.

You say I fall for the propaganda, but I think you are in denial of the misgivings of your faith.

I know the misgivings of my faith. I don't deny they exsist, which seems to be the defense Muslims take. They deny these things even happen.

Update 3:

Listen, I respect modern Islam as much as I respect modern Christianity.

I guess the problem is I just don't see as much modern Islam as I would like.(I don't see enough of modern Christianity either)

Maybe it is just the bias media, but it seems Islam is always claiming to be disrespected while they disrespect our values of freedom of expression and free speech.

Why would a Muslim care if some dutch dude drew a picture of Mohammad(pbuh), won't God handle that mans sins?

Is it necessary for half of Pakistan to protest and then chant "death to America"?

I've never seen a protest where Americans chant "death to Saudi Arabia" or whatever.

Update 4:

Ghento you are just stupid, I don't hate anything...thats the point.

Idiot.

Update 5:

I'm not angry...but I can see you are.

I think its your inferiority complex.

    There is no such thing in Islam as a belief of any virgins in heaven that's just a western notion and misconception.As for all world leaders going to war,yes there are wars but not all world leaders have gone to war.Christian world leaders go on illegal wars for oil and heroin how noble and just is that.As for beheading yes that is uncalled for but what about Abu Garab prison, the killings,rape and tortures by Christians which are happening now?

    Christian world leaders are going to war in the name of Christianity.George Bush publicly said God told him to go to war,Can you not see that?

    I am just giving you a view of Islam from a Muslim.We just don't go around drawing pictures of Jesus or Muhammad (pbut) it is very disrespectful to us. This debate is one where we have to agree to disagree.I respect Christianity just as you do Islam.

    P.s The (pbuh) is very much appreciated.

    The real Horror Movie fortunately you will never see. I'm a "regular" Muslim and who have i killed? No one. And i don't know one Muslim who has and im suspecting i know a fair few more than you. 72 virgin business is a load of rubbish. So we are all killing and doing it for 72 virgins are we? You really believe all that propaganda bull don't you? well that says more about you than anything. That you take something that is hearsay and run with it like its fact. You may not have "seen" a christian beheading a Muslim and cheering does not mean it does not happen. What about the American soldiers who killed a family including a 5 year old child, in there own home, raped the 14 daughter, shot her in the head, covered her in gasoline and set her on fire. Horror Movie? and where any of these soldiers "christian"? You seen this on the news didn't you? Or does that not count as Horror in your book, because they where not "westerners".

    What gives?

    I did not say those beheadings never happened, did I?

    I did not deny these things existed, did I?

    I did not say they where heros of my faith, did I?

    And I'm most definetly not in denial?

    My point that you obvisously missed is.....No faith is blamless. Every religion has its extremists. And people like you only see Horror where you choose to see it. You dont look at the picture as a hole. I do and there in lies the difference thank God. That i will never be biast and pregedist like you.

    I think what they are trying to say is that when people kill regardless what religion and they have some mental issues they always say God or angels or sometimes even the devil made them do it. There are a number of hate groups in America that still do things and use religion as a front. KKK they claim they are trying to keep the race pure as the bible intended. I think alot of the whole muslims and evil thing comes from the media as they have made it go together hand in hand. For instance if a muslim guy goes on a shooting spree at a college the news capture will read "Muslim Terrorist goes on a shooting spree kills 8" but take that same guy and make him christian the news capture will read " Man goes on a shooting spree kills 8" Perfect example is the guy in Seattle who said he was muslim and went to a jewish house of worship the news media went crazy about it when they found out he wasnt a muslim but a christian u didnt hear anything else about it! And as far as the Quran saying to kill the infandels I am sorry you didnt read that in there as the prophet mohammed wife was a christian her name was Maria and the quran speaks about people of the book. Anything about war or anything like that means a mutual war not just going to kill people!

    If you wanna talk about torture, brutality, rape, incest anything bad, you can jolly well find it in the bible. Lets not mention about that book. How about history. how on earth christians spread its wings in the western region? Is it by pure love teachings of Jesus? I don't think so.

    Mass murder of muslims in jerulsalem.. killing of witches. let talk current issues. Hitler..... killing of 6 millions jews? How about the 2 nun who help set flame to the church which protecting 7000 people? Comparing thousands of innocent dead during the twin towers incident and 100 000s in fact countless of dead man women and children, innocents in Iraq. See the ratio? Do some studies BEFORE putting hates on others minds. Enough with all this BullsH!t Islam horror beheading stupid morons. Islam is THE Great religion. Why do you think Islam became the fastest growing religion? Becouse its the TRUTH!. Smack that forehead of yours and find the right info. Ok brother?

    Peace!!

    Heres a good 1. Try comparing the idea of 72 virgins and Jesus(pbuh) is named God Almighty. Which is more violent? thousands of people murdered in the name of Allah(s.w.t) or MILLIONS of people murdered in the name of Jesus Christ. (may Allah(s.w.t)(God) bless their soul)

    Lets take an example. If i were to come your house and go to your mother and slap her without any reason. what would you do? will you be angry? Muslim LOVES our prophet Muhammad sooo much and that how they feel about that drawing. Its Pure rudeness. Pure inconsiderate. Muslims NEVER joke about their religion where western could just wear a big cross will doing a porn scene. How about ted haggard story?

    Nuff said, i'm just practicing your IDEA of freedom of speech. If you are angry then u should have understand why MUSLIMS got angry with that drawings!

    Peace again.

    False religions cannot always hide the evil they work. Whatever Muslims say about Islam being peaceful, I've read some of the Koran, and the passages where it calls for them to slaughter the unbelievers don't sound very peaceful to me. The book basically contradicts itself on whether they should kill the 'people of the book' (Jews and Christians) or be kind and accepting to them. I don't really trust the Muslims from the Middle East to be making that choice about me, because I think I know which passages they'll choose to follow.
