when i went to this board, i didn't prematurely judge Muslims.
i don't think people on this board hates us nonMuslims(that's why i said "most")
before, i thought that [b:aed1226849]real[/b:aed1226849] Muslims don't hate Christians and Jews but those who pretend to be Muslims do, deluded into thinking that Allah favors it,
but now, i don't think that's the case. i've read testimonies from ex-muslim turned Christian on how they were raised to hate Jews and Christians.
i've also read "in the presence of my enemies" by Gracia Burnham. the abu sayaff(group of muslim "terrorists" in the Philippines) weren't just "pretending" muslim hypocrites but [b:aed1226849]real[/b:aed1226849] Allah-believing people. they always pray facing Mecca(sp?), shouting "Allah akbar! Allah akbar!", revere the Quran and do the cleansing thing before praying.
these people are real Muslims, yet they do those beheadings, killing, torturing etc.
what's up with that? why do many hate Christians and Jews? does Quran teach Muslim to destroy lives?
Quote:And looking at your story of crucifixion, don't you hate the Jews. Being a Christian and they were the reason for Christ to be captured. Funny and contradictory or u don't care that they did this to him[/quote:aed1226849]i don't hate the Jews.
[b:aed1226849]it's not fair to hate the all Jews just because of a mistake done by their forefathers.[/b:aed1226849]
i don't hate the pharisees who condemned Jesus, but neither did i like what they've done to Him; they just didn't know any better.
not all Jews in Jesus' time wanted Him to be crucified, many didn't. and also, the first Christians were Jews.
and another thing, may i know what you think is contradictory on my belief?
another question, please answer it:
1. why was Jesus sentenced to death in the first place?
