Canli....please don't generalize about what Christians do and whether or not we live by the rules because most of us do. It is just as infuriating as us assuming all Muslims are terrorists!! You turned around and stereotyped all of us because of the media you are subjected to. This is exactly what you accused us of.

Good Elisabeth...then you got what im talking about...
That is EXACTLY what i mean ..
That what we know,and that what YOUR Media show to us,so that what we should believe about Christians and Christianity?!
Should it be your duty to go and explain this to every Muslim who believe so ?!
Should it be your fault or Christianity fault that some people who dont follow its rules see Christianity not suitable for them ?
Should we get the conclusion that Christianity should be improved because of such people ?!
ridiculous...yes?!

What you know about İslam,you knew it through your Media,not through us
And i dont see its our duity or responsbility too to walk arround and explain ourselves
Frankly,i dont think we have to do it



Well that is part of the big problem. You NEVER see anyone speaking out or condoning the Jihad from your religion. I would think it is YOUR responsiblity and duty to enlighten those who link Islam with terrorism. But no instead the Islamic world is silent, which in return sends a huge message to the rest of the world that it is acceptable.

if you don't hear Muslims denouncing Al-Queda then you aren't listening hard enough.

İslamic world isnt in silence,but its not heard
And whatever anyone say,YOU will see it as if we are just defending ourselves,and you dont believe it
So i guess you better find out about it yourself.
Take Türkiye for example,tell me what did you know about Türkiye from your Media before you read and visit it,and what you know about Türkiye after you did ?!
İts same .
Much difference,yes?
So im afraid you have to make your homework if you want to know the truth!

You know, it doesn't look like they are really that interested KeithL....I have posted numerous links here, but it does not seem they were really interested enough to look at them.

Well, Canli, I don't feel any particular responsibility to educate people about Christianity, to tell the truth. I just think that both sides accusing the other of wicked deeds is getting old. It just adds to the problem. It doesn't seem that anyone wants to sit and listen but only to accuse and point out shortcomings in the other side. On a personal note, I am a Christian who has lived with a Muslim for a few years now. We live in peace and respect eachtothers ways. It can be done...all you have to do is stop looking at all the differences.
