No Christian Terrorism against Muslims?

are you forgetting about the crusades? bosnia, modern day wars in iraq and afghanistan that have cost the lives of almost 2 million innocent people!

Muslims did the same thing, did you forget about Constantinople?

Saying that the modern war in Iraq was for the religion ....

the bible says DO NOT KILL

did you forget to compare the body count? Constantinople is nothing compared to the blood you spilled in the crusades.

Indeed, the US government are a group of christian fundamentalists!

the bible says DO NOT KILL

Yet the Crusades happened? The Qur'an also has messages of peace just like the Bible, and only a minority of Muslims would ever condone terrorism. In fact, the Qur'an says killing is wrong, so lets not pretend that either religion is perfectly peaceful.

Fact is, a minority of people interpret religion in a way that it lets them do what they want.

Yet in the Old Testament Moses is said to have told the people to kill each other to purify themselves after walking over mount Sinai and shattering the tablets with the commandments on them.

Reason: they were worshiping false idols.

Acceptable because he was a prophet: No.
The Bibles mixed messages and Prophets hypocracy being revealed: Yes
Reason for rational people to believe the bible is a literacy and anthropomorphic hybrid? Most certainly

i don't know much about the crusades but parts of the bible justify violence as a form of self defense so they could justify their actions if they believe they were wronged.

There were, a few hundred years ago. Islam is just a bit behind the times.

In the name of what religion does the Lord's Resistance Army fight?

Were the Irgun or Lehi committing acts of terrorism in the name of Islam or another religion?

I know these questions are difficult for someone who can only parrot "Islam'z bad" but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the answers

There are dozens of other examples which you can look up yourself. Why must people on TSR insist on making a fool out of themselves?

Murder is murder. It makes no difference why the murderer did it or what they were saying while they were killing. The sooner you recognize that the better.

well said. in other words God only accepts acts that are pure. killing (unless defending yourself) regardless of religions, race, and so on is the worst thing one can do, and can never be accepted by God but rather punished severely.

yes, i did say its the old testament and violence is tolerated in self defense in some cases but in the new testament Jesus doesn't condone it at all so most Christians follow this example.

yes jesus condemned violence by stopping people stoning an adulterous woman and the self defense thing, theres a story about a robber who is killed by a homeowner in self defense and according to god's law he is not prosecuted. you don't seem to know a lot about christianity if in doubt, google it or something.

i know more than you think. how about the other times all of those murders in the old testament?

how about the other time jesus ran into an adulterous woman and said he would kill her children?
