quote:
Historically, Islam has been a religion of tolerance, while Christianity has been just the opposite, a religion of Intolerence.
As a Christian, I believe that we need to realize this failing in our Faith, and to work towards making Christianity more tolerant.
The honesty here, and its correct historical truth relating to christianity, is one which should be respected, however there are impacting factors also which questions the notion about islam's tolerence.
Early/medevial christianity was described as being far worse than Rome, Babylon and ancient Egypt by the Jews of this time, and the instigator of a new racism which made humans of a different belief, even a precedent belief of 2000 years, as less than human, culminating in the extenion of Rome's heresy charges which massacred millions, deicide [sic], ghettoes and persecutions [of already weakened and small populations trapped in its control], and eventually in Nazism - which is most closely allign with Lutherism.
The fundamental failure of christianity was its negation of allowing the Jews to return to their land - which it aught to have done when it assumed power, and in keeping with any positive doctrines of any religious beliefs. Instead, European Christianity did the reverse - obsessively denying this right, and fostering the negation of Judaism, with 100s of false charges, assuming Israel was dead and gone, and all its heritage was booty for grabs.
This failure to restore jews their homeland, was in turn emulated and followed by Islam. While both these groups knew better than anyone else the history of the jews and this region - that Islam followed Christianity constitutes a graver crime and wrong doing than that of christianity: because it was perpertrated with 20/20 vision, and with a blatant impudence as if there was no seeing eye. There is no *OTHER* means of muslims vindicating themselves as a Gdly inclined belief - than by how they acted towards the jews and the truth which was in their immediate vicinity. Of note is this grotesque action by Islam was affirmed when the holocaust occured: they emulated the most hated verse in all scriptures, namely: AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER? This test was definitely failed.
