Do you not understand that there are Muslims already here? And they've been here for a few hundred years? They are just as American as you.
As such, if your argument is (and it basically is) :Do you understand the EXACT same can be said of Christians? Every argument you have about Muslims a non-Christian can factually say about Christianity.
- A Muslim Holy man made some proclamation stating Islam should be the Only Relgion - Muslims are bad
- A Muslim Holy man preached some intolerance based on his bible - Muslims are bad
- A Muslim Fanatatic commited some Violence in the name of his Religion - Muslims are bad
- A Muslim Fanatatic used his bible to justify Violence - Muslims are bad
- Islam is anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-Atheist - Muslims are bad
- The Q'uran has passages of intolerance (paraphrasing) - Muslims are bad
If the above arguments against Islam, that you make, make it a "bad" religion, then what does that say for Christianity?
You wont face that because its your belief, but that doestn mitigate that the arguments you use against Muslims are the same arguments that can be made about Christianity
Not Exactly! The points you are making to implicate "Christianity" are Old Testament writings which comprise the Torah/Tanakh of Jewish tradition and teachings!
The New Testament is the New Covenant between God and mankind through Jesus Christ, Y'shua HaMashiach, who taught that there should be love and peace between God and mankind. Jesus is the foundation of Christianity while Moses and Orthodox Judaic laws are the ones that call for hating the enemy and the philosophy of "an eye for an eye"
The Old Testament is included in the Christian Bible as an historical account of man's disobedience and separation from God. The New Testament is the account of God's Plan of Salvation through Forgiveness found in the Atoning Blood of Jesus. "Christianity" is a Jewish sect that separated from the Orthodox which broke the Covenant with God since the days of King Solomon.
Thus, God's provision of the New Covenant (New Testament) through Jesus.
However, as you know, Orthodox Judaism and Islam both reject Jesus Christ as being the Son of God and deny His Deity as the Resurrected Saviour of mankind. Ironically, Islam and Orthodox Judaism still await the coming of a "Messiah" whom they will accept as being the one to restore peace on earth. In reality, that "Messiah" will be the false one who ushers in the rule of anti-Christ, as prophesied in the Bible.
