Try getting that response from a Muslim.
You got one from the guy from Indonesia.

MOST Muslims are peaceful, just like MOST Christians are. Both religions have a history of fanatics killing in the name of their religion. Historically, Christianity has killed a LOT more, but that is somewhat moot. Wrong is wrong. The thing that is bothersome is that a lot of Christian American's seem to use a double standard to justify their prejudice against Muslims. Or maybe it's the other way around, that their prejudice forces the double standard. Whatever. It's wrong, and Islam practiced correctly is a peaceful religion, as is Christianity (I am neither)

If Islam and it's society is so important, that you can justify KILLING in it's name, WHY LEAVE a place where this is acceptable?

The world doesn't need anymore Islamic nations. There are 57 already, with 100's of millions in the western world too.
IME, muslims who leave their countries do so because

1) some other brand of islam is persecuting their brand of islam, or they belong to some other religious minority

2) they are educated, and want to live in a more open society

Just what I've learned/observed from the muslims I know

Better question, what makes Christianity better? Christianity has more blood on its hands in human history than other religions.
Its not a thread about Islam until a liberal acts like Christianity is so horrible and Islam is sooo peaceful.

Christianity isn't bad. Its just some myth that liberals like to keep believing that Christians are just as bad if not worse than Muslims and that Atheists are all peaceful and tolerant.

This is a pretty stupid thread and stupid that you think America is made up of only your religion or 1 religion, sorry OP but you failed.
Only a person with no reading comprehension skills would make an ASSumption that I was referring to the US only. Nice job

I really wish people would learn how to make analogies.

both have a history of it - yet one of them is STILL doing it. The nice thing about history is that MOST people LEARN FROM IT, so they don't repeat.

Another nice thing is evolution - which some have yet to.

Just like Islam isn't bad, but it is much easier to blame an entire religion than it is those small extreme fractions....though when it comes to Christianity it is much easier to blame those small extreme fractions than it is to condemn an entire religion....go figure.

Where are these extreme Christian factions and what recent terrorist events have they perpetrated? Let me guess, was it bringing Ebola into the US when they brought one of their doctors back for treatment? Yeah, that must be it.
