Christianity's Edge over Islam..........

Sonsie

The mighty Al-Sonsie!
Islam tends to convert by the sword anyway, why would they need to soft sell the words of Mohammed (may bees pee upon him) with translation?

well the 19th century wasn't that long ago.
Over the couple of thousand years Christianity has been around (yes, I'm rounding up a little), I suppose a couple of decades of dumbasses a couple of centuries ago could be compared to what fanatics of Islam are doing today, sorta.....

How's that for a concession? :LOL:

I'm fine with that

well sort of .... I'm not saying all christians converted by the sword, but certainly not all muslims do it either.

mostly I was just pointing out similarities that no one else seems to want to see.

I think people recognize the Inquisition occurred. And the Holocaust. I think the difference that most people point out is that the recent horrific injustice (Holocaust) had to be carried out mostly in shadows, because the mentally deranged overseers of this even knew it was wrong, and would be viewed wrong by the world - and the Inquisition was ended and Christians view that as dark, wrong, horrible history.

It's rare if ever that significant Muslims decry the horrific actions of the few fanatics - rarely if ever even declaring their actions fanatical or wrong.

Converting by the sword was not part of the Christian faith. I don't believe the vast majority of Muslims believe it to be part of the Muslim faith, but I don't hear too many Muslim leaders saying that, saying that bin Laden is wrong, or killing Isrealis on a mass scale is wrong, bombings are a bad way to get your point across, etc., etc.

I doubt christian leaders then decried it as wrong (admittedly, I don't know) back then. I'm not supporting current muslim leader actions or anything, but not making waves isn't a crime (though it is reprehensible in that they could possibly make a difference).

I can't tell you for sure that they did, but I can only assume. Either way, the argument that the Muslims that kill for Al'lah are in the minority is not a valid argument if you're going to counter it by referring to past actions of minorities of Christians. Either those actions were no more valid than these nutcakes, or they're both valid.

I may not be making myself clear. I hate the current actions of some muslims as I hate the past actions of some christians. I only compare the two because many people on this board seem to think their religions #### never stank.

You're making yourself clear.

Muslims that stink are in the minority

When Christianity stunk, it was the whole religion.

My point is, that is not correct.

Either you missed it or you're purposly being difficult.

If you read my post again carefully, you will notice the word 'some' in front of christians.

You said "some Muslim's" actions are bad, and the entire Christian religion was bad.

It wasn't the whole religion. It was some Christian's actions, just like it is some Muslim's actions. The comparisons are only valid if you recognize the actual similarities.

It's "some Muslims" and (granted, "some Christians, but then you say) "their (Christian's) religion's" #### stinking. My point is it was no more the whole religion of Christianity than it is the whole religion of Islam.

Idiot fanatics on both points.

Similar arguments on both points.

Thats what you were talking about lol

I figured since I had said 'some' refering to both religions it would be obvious I was refering to 'some' people (muslim and christian (and probably every other religion)) who had committed attrocities in the name of their religion(s).
