Shalom Ger!!!! I hear ya. Also remember the early Christ-ian church persecuted and killed many that did not agree with the Dictates of the ruling heirarchy and their interpreations of the NT. Thoughts?
Good point, but I guess "love" and " respect" are two different thiings
I understand fully and thanks for an honest response.Much of the worst stuff christains did came during the years of the Reformation, when European culture was highly focused on truth as the ultimate issue -- affirming the truth was the way to heaven, and anything short was eternally threatening. I don't see that attitude as indicative of Christianity during all the different stages of the Church in history.
However, the anti-semitism among Christians that led to the persecution and deaths of Jews was pretty constant until the advent of the holocaust. THAT was the issue that got under my skin, until I could take it no longer. It was largely over this issue I became convinced that G-d in fact was NOT leading the Church, and I left it.
The above paragraph is not meant to attack or deride Christian faith, as I hope Christians will be the very best Christians they can be. It is meant solely to answer your direct question.
What a great idea. I have 2 copies of the Quran and have read the Quran. Have you, oh person who has been a Muslim for less than a day?I think it is partly because there is such ignorance about Islam. People don't know hardly anything about the religion of Islam and so they hate what they don't know. If only people would take the time to study that which they don't know, they probably wouldn't hate it as much as they do.

I have read parts of the Quran but not all of it. And I don't understand why you feel the need to constantly flame me. Isn't that just a little bit rude?What a great idea. I have 2 copies of the Quran and have read the Quran. Have you, oh person who has been a Muslim for less than a day?
okay.Please don't drag that into this discussion. I'm asking nicely.

I would agree. I have never read the Koran or even the Jewish Talmud and I would say ingnorance of something can cause more fear and perhaps animoisity towards others than knowledge of a religion.I think it is partly because there is such ignorance about Islam.

I was a Christian for 13 years and never once read the entire Bible.I don't understand why you would proclaim that you're Muslim but didn't even finish reading the essential scripture.

Maybe that's part of the reason you are having such difficulty with your faith. I would recommend that you do read it, from beginning to end. Where you have difficulty understanding something, ask a question to someone you trust has good sense and understanding of the scriptures.I was a Christian for 13 years and never once read the entire Bible.

Shouldn`t you as a former Baptist and fundamentalist Sola Scriptura have read all the Bible several times? Even as a Catholic you would have read and heard the Bible read in Church.
I am a former Muslim and have read the whole Quran several times both in Arabic and in English and Norwegian translations. I had to flee my own country because my former husband and his fellow Muslims have a duty to kill me as an apostate. Have you heard about honor killings?
Is there any evidence from the Qur'an and/or authentic Hadiths that support honor killing?
