As a friend of mine who spend a year in Nigeria, it's more complicated than Christian vs. Muslim. It is more clan oriented, more tribal than religious, and more based on power than anything.isadore;1084155 wrote:Thanks for the information, it may be more complicated in this instance but around the world from Nigeria to even Indonesia the attacks are on. They drove the Jews out and the Christians are some of the few Dhimmi left and they are beginning to vanish.
attacks in Nigeria-Christians the victims, Algeria-Christians the victims, Egypt-Christians the victims, Sudan-Christians the victims, Iraq-Christians the victims, Pakistan-Christian the victims, Indonesia-Christians the victims. We can do clans and the rest, but I think that list shows a pattern of Chiristians in the Muslim world. Or we could do Saudi Arabia with no public Christian ceremonies, Afghanistan where there is a death sentence for converting to Christianity and on and on and on.ptown_trojans_1;1084205 wrote:As a friend of mine who spend a year in Nigeria, it's more complicated than Christian vs. Muslim.

But, whatever man.
I'd like to buy you a plane ticket to Nigeria, Afghanistan, Indonesia, etc. Which date will work for you?isadore;1084278 wrote:well that looks like a pie chart for the good ole USA. The pie chart for a nation in the Muslim world would be quite differnt. The large majority of the pie Muslim, the Jewish percentage would be cleansed out already, the non-religious, other, and Christian would all be fast disappearing.

So the teachings in the Old Testament are to be ignored by Christians then?isadore;1082818 wrote:I have not been discussing the Old Testament or the Quran. My point is the very different natures of the founders of Christianity and Islam.
Oh, did Christians do anything in the Old Testament?

Christians aren't suppiosed to ignore the teachings in the Old Testament but the taechings of the New Testament (or New Covenant) free us from the legalism of the Old. If it didn't our churches would be very bloody places!I Wear Pants;1084397 wrote:So the teachings in the Old Testament are to be ignored by Christians then?

Again and no one has ever answered me (not necessarily on here but in general). Is there some list where I can see what is supposed to be literally followed and literally believed as truth and which is accepted as parable/story? Because it appears that people pick and choose when it's convenient.believer;1084410 wrote:Or is that really, "Let the heads roll"?

Of course they have been mirroring their Prophet and turning the other cheek in one nation after another as Muslims slaughter them. It is finally time for them to take a lesson from the Jews and say NEVER AGAIN.dwccrew;1085111 wrote:It's too bad that Christians don't mirror their prophet. Hypocrites.
This is not the lessons I have learned from Jesus. You seek violence and slaughter like the prophet you condemn, instead you should embrace peace, love and understanding like the prophet you ignore but supposedly follow.isadore;1085153 wrote:Of course they have been mirroring their Prophet and turning the other cheek in one nation after another as Muslims slaughter them.

Just like the Jews after their dealing with Nazis and Muslims, Christians seek survival. They arrived at NEVER AGAIN after seeing the unlimited bloodlust of their two enemies. Christians now must learn the same lesson when dealing with Muslims modeling their prophet.dwccrew;1085163 wrote:This is not the lessons I have learned from Jesus.

Jews picked an ideal place to try and survive, right in the middle of muslim land. LOL, more like they tried to pick a fight. It's too bad that you choose to ignore Jesus' teachings. I know you think you know better than him, but I assure you that you don't.isadore;1085170 wrote:Just like the Jews after their dealing with Nazis and Muslims, Christians seek survival.

Jews were living in the "Muslim world" thousands of years before there were Muslims. And then the Muslims ethnically cleansed them out. Now they are after the Christians.

I thought you were some kind of history major. The pogroms preceded the Holocaust and set the stage for it. Now from Nigeria to Indonesia the pogroms against Christian are on.ptown_trojans_1;1085179 wrote:So, Christians now equal Jews of the Holocaust?
