+588 Hitler identified himself as Christian. However, any true Christian would say that he defied Christian ideals. No real Muslim would ever think that terrorism is beneficial to anyone. So in saying that the terrorists are proof that Muslims are bad, you are also saying that Hitler is an example of a true Christian. amirite?

Ok I guess I'm a Nazi then. The reason I said no way is because Hitler and muslim terrorists are not comparable because Hitler did not commit his crimes in the name of Christianity. Muslims terrorists however, do commit their crimes in the name of Islam. I am in no way saying that all Muslims are bad, I'm just saying that the two situations are completely different.

Hitler obviously thought his "religion" was superior to the Jews'. So do the "Muslim" terrorists. Hitler and Bin Laden are dictators. The situations are identical.

Actually, he murdered Catholics, too. Get YOUR facts straight. Kateyo is right. However, I know that all Muslims are not terrorists, and I know that it is generally a peaceful religion, but the terrorists did it FOR their religion, rather than Hitler, who did it AGAINST another.

"Originally, the goal was to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, and support the besieged Christian Byzantine Empire against the Muslim Seljuq expansion into Asia Minor and Europe proper. Later, Crusades were launched against other targets, either for religious reasons, such as the Albigensian Crusade, the Northern Crusades, or because of political conflict, such as the Aragonese Crusade."

What does that link have to do with anything? Obviously you don't know the first thing about war. Even if you start out on the defense, you will be forced to go offensive to win. But, that is irrelevant. They started out as an oppressed nation/religion fighting for freedom. Then the motives turned differently. The US isn't all that valiant, either. Nobody can be perfect. The Muslim Terrorists are extreme, but they still seek to murder us. Maybe the Christians did the same, but that was immensely different. Not the motives, but the means. Today, it is infinitely easier. Bombs, hijacking, and other means can be used. Back then, it was simply war. Hand to hand.

The Christians have been around longer, and have had more time to kill people.They have killed millions in the name of their religion. The only reason they didn't kill more was that is easier for people to kill now than then. The Christians had their little murder fest. The only reason everyone's worked up about the Muslims now, and saying they're bad is that they're living through the time that the Muslims get to blow off some steam, not when the Christians did.

Dude, Hitler wasn't anything. He thought religion was a sign of weakness; he thought religion itself was weak. He just killed Jews, because he needed a scapegoat and they were available. And the Koran actually SAYS, that there are only three things to do with a non-muslim: convert them, shun/banish them, or kill them. It actually SAYS, that killing non-muslims in the name of God, will give you a garauntee of heaven. Don't get me wrong, not all muslims are bad, and violent, but the religion itself teaches these things. I was really surprised when I heard this, so I understand if you don't believe me.

the thing about coveting: They were missing the point. So what if a woman is listed among chattel? It doesn't mean she IS property, it's just supposed to mean you can't want your neighbors wife. The message was about greed and envy not, "You are a woman, therefore no one can ever appreciate you, and I OWN you!" The second one, I disagree wiht, but c;mon, it's still better than saying it's okay to KILL people. The third one, today wouldn't be right, but then if a woman were raped and her virginity was taken form her, even though it was rape, people would see her as a slut and a fornicator. People disrespected women in general in those times, so this was actually easing their pain a little. The last one on women was NOT a messaage or law of God, it was a historical record. It says no where that God advocated this action, or inspired it.

Children: The lesson was about disciplining your child. One does not beat their child to death or until they break. It's the same principle as spanking. Beating them with a rod is not the best, but then again, I don't agree with EVERY lesson in the Bible. The difference between me not believing in every detail of this small lesson is, the main basis of the Muslim religion is based on making everyone a musli, or killing them. The stoning lesson was made null, once Jesus told us not to punish those who have sinned because we all have. Not to say we shouldn't punish criminals, the woman they were trying to stone in the story was an adulterer though, not anyone dangerous. Jesus made it clear, her sins should be forgiven.Honestly, I don't think God killed those people with the bears. I think that was just a legend. Not because I don't want to believe it, it just sounds so stupid. Like a bad joke or the "Pochohantas was in love wiht John Smith" legend. Do you have a profile...

Still, comparing hitler to extremist muslims doesn't make sense. The Koran actually says it's okay to kill non-christians, and that if you do die, ridding the world of non-muslims, you'll go straight to heaven. It says nothing in the most important rules of Islam, the five pillars, about not hurting people. It's mostly about the way you must worship- except alms for the poor. The most important christian rules, the ten commandments, says directly to love your neighbor and not murder. Hitler clearly disobeyed those two commandments, but muslim terrorists aren't breaking any of the five pillars, by what they're doing.

I didn't say that those were the basic morals. The basics are the five pillars. The Koran DOES, however, say, that it's okay to kill someone who is not a mulsim and that one dies while killing the enemy, they will go to heaven. My point is, the most important rules in Islam, the five pillars, say nothing about non-violence, while the most basic rules of christianity(the ten commandments) does. This means Hitler killing people if he was a christian, is different than muslim terrorists, killing people.

All books have controversial statements, all religions have touchy beliefs. Good mosques and churches will only preach the ethical truth in the religion, and will avoid focusing on unsteady topics. It says somewhere in the Bible about sacred marriage between a man and a woman. Does that mean that Christians discriminate against gays? That's for you to decide. It says somewhere in the Koran that we should fight non-Muslims--does that not mean that we should verbally speak out against those who defy the peaceful beliefs of Islam? That's for you to decide.

I AM tolerant. I DO NOT HATE ANYONE. I DO NOT YELL AT ANYONE WHO IS A MUSLIM, OR TRY TO CONVERT THEM. STOP MAKING TI SOUND LIKE THAT. All this started, because I was just stating a FACT, that the teachings of Islam indicate acts of violence are good, more than christian scripture does. It was about the POST, I wasn't ATTACKING someone's CULTUTRE. STOP making me sound racist. STOP judging me. p.s. the typos are because when the comments are too long, the computer doesn't let me scroll, so I can't see my mistakes.

Nazis were Christians (Protestant). That is a fact. The Al Quaeda terrorists were Muslims. That is also a fact. Hitler did what he did to create a "superior race" of Protestants with blond hair and blue eyes. And World Domination. That is a fact. The AQ terrorists (yes, I did abbreviate their name) are making an attempt to create a "superior race" of Allah-fearing Muslims. That is a fact. I'm sensing a pattern here. Hitler was, believe it or not, a terrorist too. Now, while I understand that everyone hates Muslims for what a tiny group of morons did, I'll never understand why people didn't start calling all Protestants Nazis. Are you getting my point? For all the bad the Nazis did, their sins were "forgiven". Muslims will never be forgiven. I AM a Muslim, by the way, and it DOES make me sick to know that one mall group has tarnished the reputation of every Muslim I've ever known. We helped in our community, I even know a few families who adopted homeless children. But no one cares.

(Yes, I had to do this.) No one cares for all the good Muslims have done, because one small extremist group decided to screw us all over.

Hi Elissa. I totally understand what you're saying. It is not fair at all that there are terrible, ignorant bitches that hate Islam for absolutely no sane reason. I know that your religion is just as good as any other. I will never look at you or any REAL Muslims as less than me. I think the reason that no one associates Christians with Nazism any more is that WWII is over, and the Nazis are pretty much over with. The terrorism is still going on from the Middle East, and that's why people are associating negative things with Islam. Taliban and AQ are obviously specifically "Muslim," whereas the Nazi's reason for murder were more than just religion. I think something like 5,000,000 people killed by Hitler's clan weren't Jews. Because of religious awareness towards Christianity, Hitler wasn't associated with Christianity at all by the Christians. Do you get what I'm saying? Islam is not widely respected and understood (quite sadly), which makes it prone to hate.

It is an unfair and false argument that all Muslims are terrorists. People should not accuse a whole religion of something that a few horrible people did.

Attention, everyone who clicked "no way." I strongly encourage you to read "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson. It changed my life and my view on Islam. It was a great read, and there's a youth edition, too. When you're done, read Greg's most recent "Stones Into Schools."
