but.. are they Christian?

I think it is something like at least 12 muslim nations have death or exile as the punishment for leaving Islam
12 COUNTRIES!
we can not pretend like this is some fringe movement

I mean it was a religion started by a warlord who had a child bride
what do you expect?

I have known many lovely Muslim people, I respect them and their devotion to God
but I have no respect for the liar who started their religion

Upon further study for groups. Militant Christians are not quite exactly in the same vein as radical muslims. Their fight is far more for secular reasons with vague out of context scripture for support and just stamp the word christian on their groups name to legitimize themselves more. Perhaps they are not on the same level as in being successful in maintaining their existence.

Extremist Christians? eh.

I notice you find no "Christian groups" video taping a crime - reading the Bible claiming God is guiding them and sending out the video so Christians all over the world will come over and join them.

When a Christian individual or group does something wrong - and takes the time to video tape their crime so all the world can be repulsed by it - what you do NOT see - is Christians from every civilized country on the planet rushing to join them. Rather you find Christians from all over the world repulsed and expressing disgust.

Contrast that with Islam. For Islam it is how you grow from 800 to 30,000 in SIX weeks.

Politicians have to say things like that because we live in a world of political correctness. The difference between ISIS and a hypothetical radical Christian group is that ISIS can actually back up what they do with the Quran and the trusted sources which tell about the life of Muhammad. When Muslims quote peaceful verses in the Quran they need an audience that is completely ignorant of Islam who simply take them at their word. People do not understand the Islamic doctrine of abrogation which cancels out most of the peaceful verses. The peaceful verses are from the time period when Muhammad was preaching in Mecca and was completely outnumbered by the Pagans. He could not possibly fight against them so he called for peace and tolerance. Once he moved to Medina and became powerful the tone of the Quran changes and no longer teaches peace and tolerance with unbelievers.

Not every follower of a religion is going to act on everything that the religion teaches which is why not all Muslims are like them. The difference between Christianity and Islam is that if you follow everything Christianity teaches you would be a Saint who people look to emulate while in Islam you are a warrior just like Muhammad and the rest of the early leaders in Islam.

In this case (ISIS), I think Obama might have had a good point--with emphasis upon "might."

The Jihadists want it to be a war between Christianity and Islam. They're very aware of the force of propaganda. Therefore, any position taken that doesn't recognize them as genuine representatives of Islam is on target, propaganda-wise, whether or not they are. And why anyone on our side would call them the "Islamic State" baffles me.

I prefer to call them the Islamic State. Especially given the changes from "of Iraq" and "of Syria" and "of the Levant". It helps keep in mind what they seriously want - the worldwide state.

It also suggests that they are an actual state, which by no stardard are they. When they change the name to "God's Holy Empire," or something else like that, I suppose all the US media will fall in line with that, too.

They can be a rather difficult religion to understand. They appear to be just as fractured as much of Christianity is today.
Here is an interesting thread where you can actually engage with Muslims in debating and/or asking questions.

Understanding Islam

ValleyGal said:

I was reading in the current events forum and a post triggered some questions about Islam. I did not want to hijack the thread, so I'm posting them here.

I know absolutely nothing about Islam or Muslims. I don't even know where they all live (or are they everywhere?). But from the sounds of your post, it seems like Islam is a religion that has different "denominations" or different [maybe political] ideologies kind of like the difference between ultra-conservative Christians versus ultra-liberal Christians. Is that right?

If that's the case, isn't the war a holy war that is intra-Islam that only involves Christians from the point of being in the wrong place (where the radicals live) at the wrong time?

I recall Obama's saying in the latest news thing about IS/ISIS/ISIL that they were not really muslims. Everytime something on the news has anything on Obama.. I just have to read the comment sections on the article,if any.

I saw comments along the lines of, "Well it doesn't matter what you say they are. They think they're muslim."


What about our extreme branches of Christianity in the vein of ISIS? Are they Christian? They're doing very unchristian things, just like ISIS is doing very un-islamic things.

Please, I request we do not turn this thread into a "well muslims are doing things aligned with their religion!" I wish to discuss the skeletons in our closet. I am just using Islam as an example for comparison as they are making the headlines right now.

In Christianity, the Nicene Creed defines who is and who is not a Christian.

In Islam, the five pillars do pretty much the same thing in regards to Muslims

Unfortunately, both don't mention having to be morally upright, which means we'll find bad apples in both religions.

The better question is how does each religion deal, either with its sacred scriptures or within the community at large, with those who are bad apples.

ChristsSoldier115 said:

We also can't seem to reign in our fanatics either. What is a christian solution for dealing with our fanatics? Rebuking them? Some sort of excommunication of them wouldn't do anything I would imagine, and they would just do what my argument fallacy is doing : claim that the excommunicators aren't really christian themselves.

Click to expand...

Um, that's based on a misunderstanding of what excommunication is.

Excommunication is the exclusion of an individual from the sacraments of the church or denomination due to grievous and unrepentant sin. It is NOT an expulsion from the church or denomination, although perhaps certain fringe groups do that. Indeed, the excommunicated are encouraged to continue to attend services and to seek reconciliation so that they may be welcomed to return to the sacramental life of the church.

Not all excommunication is apostasy, although apostasy is certainly an automatic excommunication.

Could you post examples of things extreme Christians have done? The main ones that usually get mentioned are the crusades and the inquisition- both instances where there was politics involved too. Politics kills a lot of good people and turns a lot of good people into bad people.

This Wikipedia article lists terrorist groups with "Christian motivations" around the globe.

Christian terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ku Klux Klan is the most infamous American extremist group who's members have been complicit in a variety of murders, rapes, lynchings and a variety of other crimes. They have historically been known as a group made up of Protestant Christians, perhaps fundamentalist.

Some say Hitler and the Nazi's were killing Jews in the name of God.

Christians don't kill, steal and destroy, that's what the enemy does. Remember that the Lord warned us about sheep in wolves clothing. These people who kill, steal, and destroy are not Christian extremists, they are wolves.

“There is a reason we call it Islamic terrorism, and it isn’t because we falsely attribute motives to the terrorists, but because Islam is the stated purpose and aim of the terrorists.” Daniel Greenfield

Christian terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ku Klux Klan is the most infamous American extremist group who's members have been complicit in a variety of murders, rapes, lynchings and a variety of other crimes. They have historically been known as a group made up of Protestant Christians, perhaps fundamentalist.

The Mafia is at least as "complicit," and historically has been known as a group made up of Roman Catholic Christians. However, neither of these groups existed primarily in order to advance their idea of God's plan for mankind--and that's why the comparison to Islamic terrorist groups is not apt.

Christians don't kill, steal and destroy, that's what the enemy does. Remember that the Lord warned us about sheep in wolves clothing. These people who kill, steal, and destroy are not Christian extremists, they are wolves.

Protestant Churches are not under one Papal authority like the RCC, they can never be compared in the same light.
