Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

I don't get why everybody keeps on bashing on people who are Muslims. I mean wouldn't you get mad if someone kept on bashing your religion?

I know. Why do people do that to Muslims? I just received bad rep from a Muslim hater, and I don't like it one bit. Maybe I should just bash every Jew and Christian because they attack Muslims, shouldn't I? It's not right to do so. The Qur'an makes mention of killing others because it was talking about the Meccans who tortured Muslims for no reason. But people take those comments and use them misleadingly. These people are Muslims and non-Muslims alike. There are only a handful of Muslims who are evil and murderous, but suddenly, people decide that these people are the role-models to our faith and that every Muslim is a terrorist. I hate that.

EDIT: Wait, I just asked my Religious Studies teacher whether we believe in the same God or not. We don't seeing as the Christians appear to worship Jesus as a God or something.

I said that at least 5 times.

While I can't speak for everyone, I was simply quoting the Qur'an.

And there are more than just a "handful". There entire organisations that span the globe who act this way. Nations of people too.

Well, if you think about it, all the religions have more in common than they have differences with eachother. For example, look at Karma. Karma, in essence, is the same as the Christian Hell/Heaven - those who do wrong are punished and those who do the right thing are rewarded. I feel that if people looked more at how much we share in common than what our differences were that we wouldn't have so many disputes or discrimination against eachother.

I have been to a Church and a Synagogue. I've been to an average service in each. Both teach the same thing in essence. It's just the way it's presented, really.

It's unfortunate to see those so hyped up about religion to kill others over it. It's not only a Muslim thing, either. Practically every religion has done it in some way, excluding probably Buhddism.

I'm Christian and I wouldn't make fun of somebody just because they're Muslim. And like what was stated before all because a couple of Muslims are bad doesn't mean they all are. *Cough we believe in the same God also Cough*

Exactly so, exactly so. We do believe in the same God, if you see that the Christians believe that Jesus isn't exactly God. Meh, I wouldn't know. But what I do know is that we do believe in the same God, even though we may not believe in Him in the same way.

These 'organisations' are not representatives of Muslims directly. Unfortunately, Muslims are not exactly very united. So their beliefs are not shared by everyone. And I did say that the quotes you took from the Qur'an are true, but misunderstood.

We don't believe in murdering people who didn't take up arms against Muslims directly. People who oppose Islam with lies and misinterpretation and attempt to discredit our religion are, in fact, free game.

Do everyday Muslims attempt to discredit other religions? I and many others don't. And where do you get the idea that Muslims have to kill others? Jihad is compulsory, yes, but it is just another word for struggling in the cause of Allah. It doesn't have to be in the form of death and destruction. It can be a quest for knowledge, or a debate against Muslim haters.

Now, I have said that Islam does not endorse killing other civilians, and that Islam has strict war conventions. Where do you get the idea that Muslims are murderous people? I think Osama Bin Laden is a loony and he has misinterpreted the Qur'an and used it as an excuse for murder.

Yeah, It's all one god, and I think the people who committed 9/11 where trying to screw the Muslim communities in the world pretty bad. As for me I believe in a God but don't specifically follow a religion (as of yet), i believe in heaven and hell and doing things wrong is sinning (like lying and killing and not praying).I guess Pokemon is my religon.

It's amazing the hate I see coming from America toward Muslims nowadays, I'd dislike living in the particularly conservative communities there if i were a Muslim.

"It's unfortunate to see those so hyped up about religion to kill others over it. It's not only a Muslim thing, either. Practically every religion has done it in some way, excluding probably Buhddism" The best summary of what been said so far, there's no need to hurt others.

Edit: Actually this thread has gone way too far off-topic and it would be irresponsible for me to let it continue.
