Islam does not hate christianity

quote:

The religion says Jews must go, Israel must go, and any kind of deception is permitted in that service.

You don't seem to be aware that for centuries Jews lived pretty peacefully in the Islamic world, even achieving high positions in government service. I believe that Christians and Jews had to pay a special tax, but were otherwise allowed to practice their faiths in peace (compare that with the treatment of Jews and Muslims in medievel Europe).Much of the enmity that exists today between Jews and Muslims has existed only for about 100 years or so, when Britain began allowing relatively large numbers of European Jews to settle in Palestine, often giving their communities special treatment and favors, and often refusing to recognize the rights of the indigenous Arabs.

Sorry. I must have copied the quote, scrolled down to see what else people have said, and then pushed the wrong reply button. That was meant to be a response to Faith's post.

Perhaps they haven't gotten around to enforcing Sharia on the infidels where you come from, as the Muslims are latecomers outside of the Middle East.

They hadn't gotten around to it in Tanzania, either, when I was living in Africa, and Islam had been present there for centuries. Christians and Muslims were pretty much living peacefully side-by-side. In fact, one Muslim I knew told me that it is unIslamic to force others into your religion.Faith, where do you live? How do you know so much about Islam? Andya Primanda is a Muslim, and I lived among Muslims for three years; how is it that we missed so much about Islam?
