Does the modern Christian see Islam as a threat to the security of Christianity in the world? I have talked to many people who call themselves Christians and I have also seen the posts of people in this forum (granted these people are generally idiots who think they are on an Internet crusade), and it seems that a lot of these Christians hold a very low opinion of Islam, many going as far as demonizing the religion. I realize that Christianity, as a whole, is very exclusivist in terms of the doctrine of salvation, but it seems like I see more Christians bashing Islam than other religions.

If you want to deny the fact that there is a Christian culture unique to the United States, as every country has its own religious culture, that's your business. Of course there is a Christian culture unique to the US...problem is that what you described? Isn't it. I have no idea what you just said.

So you don't speak English?
Figures.
As a Catholic, I give all religions the highest amount of respect. In terms of Islam, I think Muslims know more about us than we know about them. Two of my very good friends happen to be Muslim and they are definitely not 'terrorists'. I think Islam is a misunderstood religion and the whole 'all Muslims are terrorists' is very overstated.
Quote: from Forever Angel at 11:03 am on July 6, 2008 Quote: from JeanClaude at 5:49 pm on July 5, 2008 Yes, because American Christians don't understand either Christianity or Islam and only see actual Muslims on the news as being terrorists or "extremists."Really? What is your reasoning behind that comment? American Christians bury their heads in the sand and are only able to regurgitate what their pastor and people on TV have told them about their own religion. Most are not aware of the historical context of Christianity and rarely read the Bible on their own. When they do, they don't read for understanding, but as a religious exercise.

Ignorant blanket statement is ignorant.

Sure we do; we just never see it practiced.
We both share the abrhamic God so why should I
