Quote:I have also noticed a difference between the devout muslims and devout christians. Muslims who live their religion seem to be very peaceful in demeanor and are enjoyable to be around. Lately, when I am around "fanatical" christians, they give off this almost angry enthusiasm for their beleifs. I have seem them get so worked up when talking about the faith and this glint fires up in their eyes. It can be kind of creepy to me. I definately not saying that all christians are like this.
Well, that's what i've noticed over the past few days, didn't want to say this as i know some christians frequent this board, and since becoming Muslim i don't actually want to offend anybody <b>BELIVE IT OR NOT</b>. But the stereotypical mad fanatical Muslim and peaceful happy clappy christian scenario, has been the other way round so far. Going by the emails i've got, boards i've looked at and articles i've seen written. I suppose it's the same with both religions, can't judge the whole thing by a few though....but the rabid emails i've got have been disturbing.

It wasn't junk email though, it was sent from someones hotmail account. If i block hotmail emails i wouldn't get any from my friends! Thing is they're not even emails of debate, they're just sent as a block of text stating "facts", haven't got any since though!
Quote: they want to start a "black Muslim and white Muslim" thing and what we should all insist on that there is only MUSLIM..there is nothing like white Muslim, Black Muslim, Arab Muslim, Turk Muslim, American Muslim..etc.
Exactly, i didn't start this thread to push any of that. When i embraced Islam i actually lost the hate i felt inside for some races who did bad to my people. Muhummads own words denounced any kind of race superiority, although my research showed that not all Muslims, in fact not many followed his words as a Black Slave trade still existed within Islam around the world long long afterwards, despite the Quran telling them god wants man to free the slaves. But the point is, there's no distinction, or there isn't supposed to be. That's why i got the emails from those christians, they want a divide even on the internet forums it seems!
