You are obviously just looking for a reason to hate....and found one
I always hear people talking about the silence of the Muslims re terrorism...I don't know where these people live. Here in the NY metro area there are always interreligious outreach groups being run by and participated in by Muslims, especially after 9/11. My Muslim coworkers aren't terrorists, either.

I don't think the people who keep making that tired claim live amongst or work around Muslims. Yep, there are terrorists in the Muslim community, no doubt, but the majority of Muslims seem to just want to be Americans.

This statement makes no sense at all. Radical Muslims vs. Radical Rednecks? WTF You should stick to subjects that you know a little about. Firefights in Iraq are obviously not one of those subjects.

People are barbaric. Athiests have no religion, per se, but many of them have killed. Most Muslims in the world are peaceful, or...we...would all be...dead.

I really don't think you know much about rednecks or you would never make a comparison between them and Muslims,, absolutely no way...

Your response and this thread is hypocritical at best.
KevK has never claimed to be a Christian, and has in fact attacked Christians in several posts. Why are you calling me names, and what am I being hypocritical about? Anyone who professes Christianity and hates, is not a Christian according to scripture. Anyone who professes to be a Muslim and does not hate the non Muslim is not following the Koran. These are indisputable tenants of each religion.

Terror sympathizer. The religion is a bastion of violence. It is hammered into them throughout every piece of their existence. There are no excuses that can validate their true intentions and nature. You say only the small percentage of extremists are the problem. So tell me, what's the problem with honor killings? What was the guys excuse who ran down his daughter for being too weternized???

If you are insinuating that KevK is a Christian who is judging Islam, then you are mistaken as KevK has expressed a contempt for Christianity. The OP is a non-religious person judging a religion.

As Christians we are called to love one another including our enemies. Love does not mean keeping silent when they are walking down a path that is harmful for them which is why we speak out against false religions. Unfortunately, there are way too many professing Christians that speak out against other religious with a spirit of judgmentalism versus genuine love for the salvation of others and that attitude is against the teachings of Christ. Our job as Christians are to love one another and share the gospel. Whether folks accept the truth or not is ultimately up to them and it is not for the Christian to continually push if it isn't welcome. Christians who find themselves constantly speaking out against other religions or social problems should check their motives. Are they doing it out of sincere love for their neighbors or are they pointing out other's sin as a form of self-righteousness while ignoring their own sin (like the pharasees)?
