No a peep out of the secularist President Obama- when Muslims in Egypt were persecuting and killing Coptic Christians. In fact the goof sent the extremists aid. The persecution and killing of Christians is making a come back...I feel very strongly about his issue. My grandfather was put before a firing squad by the old Soviet communists..because he refused to comply - refused to give up his Christian faith....The killing of Christians in my mind is a horror. These are the finest people- killing those that are good is obscene beyond belief.

Mohamed was an admirer of Jesus Christ- Christ is mentioned in the Koran...Why would so-called Muslims kill those that Mohamed approved of...This has nothing to do with religion- it is just pure evil and an insult to God and goodness and to Mohamed.

There are probably people in other parts of the world showing videos of that extreme Christian group here that pickets solidier's funerals, and saying "Here's that religion of tolerance they love to talk about".
Typical, have to go back several centuries to defend Islam. Good job time traveler

One minor correction. Islam does hold that Jesus was the Messiah. In fact, Islam began as a heretical Christian cult, and accepts almost all of Christian theology except his divinity. This includes the "virgin birth," the "second coming" the "salvation scheme," the "test on earth," the "great commission" and almost all of Christian end-time eschatology.

In the same way that Christianity is a syncretic faith (a combination of Judaism and Hellenic paganism), Islam is a syncretic faith composed of Christianity and Arab paganism. Of the "great monotheisms" only Judaism is an original invention having derived directly from preexisting Canaanite polytheism with no borrowing of alien ideas.

Because Christians are not Jesus Christ. Christians are those who believe Jesus was the son of God. Islam's problem with Christians is Christians believe Jesus was the son of God instead of a prophet and the other problem is Christians do not follow Islam and don't believe Mohamed was a prophet of god. Muslims in many parts of the world regularly attack and murder non-muslims for religious reasons. But of course it's Jews and Christians that are the evil ones in the world.

How is recognition of Christian history a defense of Islam? Since when is perspective anything other than a useful thing? "Christian civilization" was saved by secularization. And Christianity had to bleed itself into exhaustion for that to take place.

At only a small fraction of the rate that they attack and murder each other.

Well, please explain to me why is it that every time someone links a news story of a horrible terrorist type attack committed by devout muslims, liberals quickly go back several centuries to say "look, Christians are just as bad"? Answer is simple. Liberals hate Christianity and love those who hate America and go out of their way to try to defend Islam. Since they can't defend the acts committed my muslims, they attack Christianity without offering up any outrage for the attacks committed by muslims in the name of Islam.
