Why do people who follow Islam....?

Get so offended when you share the same level of conviction to your religion as them, if not more. Also why do they never respond to the questions you ask them, But rather demand you listen to their schmeil of how the bible is a lie and Islam is the true doctrine?

Don't they realize that I can say the same as a Christian? And I have power that I can manifest via the Holy Spirit at will, and they cannot manifest anything. Especially since their only prophet died God knows how many years ago, and Christianity has one in each church body.

I am just really having a hard time grasping how that works?

Update:

I'm not hateful or angry. I just wish that I could have a debate that goes both ways. When I ask them about things that contradict my knowledge of how God works and the evidence I can show forth, they just change the topic.

Maybe I should just take listen to what God says and not talk to radical Islamic people.

But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered [preserving the bond of peace]; he must be a skilled and suitable teacher, patient and forbearing and willing to suffer wrong. He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth [that they will perceive and recognize and become accurate

Update 2:

Ethnocentrism is judging of cultures based on my own cultures values. This is a spiritual thing for one. I can acknowledge many of their values, but their information is contradictory to the foundation of their religion. I can I have another friend who is Islam, I have learned quite a bit from him. I know how their religion contradicts itself. It's not a cultural problem, their information is flawed, and their only rebuttals is qu'ran is truth. If I am wrong I will openly admit my error. But it's hard to be proved wrong when the arguement against you are the words the qu'ran is truth, Paul's bible is a lie, Allah would be offended.

I'm glad yhwh is not as easily offended as Allah, even though they're technically supposed to be the same God. At least Christians and atheists can debate both ways.

    One simple answer:

    Allah Lies

    You DO understand that Allah and God (Jehovah) are NOT the same "god"?

    It is the very basis of logic. Two things which are diametrically opposite or opposed CAN NOT be true at the same time. A sheet of paper cannot be completely red and completely green at the same time. An answer cannot be right and wrong at the same time for the same situation. Something cannot exist and not exists at the same time.

    Jehovah teaches, "[Jesus] is my son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!" Allah teaches that He has no son, and in fact does not need one.

    Jesus says, "I and the father are one." Allah teaches that Jesus is only one in a long line of prophets, and yet Muslims refuse to listen to him!

    With such diametrically opposed teaching, it is clear that Jehovah and Allah ARE NOT the same "god", and thus the Islamic opposition to Jewish and Christian teachings. Allah cannot be right if Jehovah is right. Therefore, the Islamic approach is to destroy the very name of Jehovah and Jesus through suppression, violence intended to instill fear, and even death to those who do not accept the teaching of Allah (Islam).

    Yet Islam claims to be peaceful.

    Allah lies.

    So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds. (Qur'an 47:4)

    Violence and Islam go together like a horse and carriage, Yes, I tell ya, brother, ya can't have one without the other..

    Islam followers are worse than others on some aspects, because there faith has Ben drummed into them, they don't have the freedom to choose a religion or the freedom of free thought, so they hang on to the only thing they have a believe, even if it's false to us, and that brings violence and hate on levels we do not want or need.

    Islam is a Satanic religion

    you sound like a hypocrite...I highly doubt you actually met one.

    Also, to that person that talks about Violence and Islam, in the Bible it talks about slavery and oppressing woman. Your a joke!

    Because they believe in it, and it works for them.

    The way you believe in Christianity, and the way it works for you.

    Strikes me that you're displaying the same offence that you are complaining about.

    Look up Ethnocentrism.
