Christian/Muslim ThreadsMuslims converting to Christianity :: ConvertingConverting There is no such death penalty . Death penalty is explained in the Quran . If there was such a penalty it would be in the Quran. Most likely the hadith is a fabrication or misunderstood. In the history we dont see such a penalty either . If you want to see intolerance , you should look in the history of christianity . Once more I have to show you the facts you ignore . Such bloodshed we never see in the history of islam. Only some of examples : ------------------------------------------------- The full record shows clearly that the prime object of Christian hatred, at all times, were not pagans but "heretics" who saw themselves in fact as the "real" Christians. Within that conflict lay an unresolved tension between the command to love one's enemies and the equally strong command to reject Satan and all his works. For in any given situation a Christian does not automatically know which of those two commands to follow. By attacking heretics as tools of Satan, Christian militants seized the rhetorical high ground and shifted the focus from loving one's enemies to opposing Satan - using Jesus' own words to do so? ------------------------------ In the fourth century, Constantine, the first Roman Emperor to become a Christian, had over 3000 Christians executed because their interpretation of the Bible did not agree with his. That is more than the number of Christians who died at the hands of the Romans. - William Manchester, A World Lit Only by Fire ? The Medieval Mind and The Renaissance --------------------------------------------- There is only one phase of ancient Christian persecution which remains fully recorded: the five decades in which Arian and Athanasian Christians contended for supremacy and in which several hundreds of thousands must have perished while millions suffered distress or exile. - Martin A. Larson, The Story of Christian Origins -------------------------------------------------- During college, a friend brought an African-American student to a church I attended in Durham, N. C. The next Sunday, the pastor announced that because of "last week's racial incident" (the attendance of a Black), church leaders had voted to maintain their "longstanding policy of racial segregation." Thereafter, any Blacks present would be handed a note explaining the policy and asked not to return. I was outraged and left the church. Some 19th-century ministers preached that slavery was a divine decree. In his book, "Slavery Ordained of God," Fred A. Ross wrote, "Slavery is ordained of God ... to continue for the good of the slave, the good of the master, the good of the whole American family." Those words seem quite different from the biblical injunction to "love your neighbor as yourself," a statement with equally poignant historical roots. -------------------------------------------------------- Herbert Langer in The Thirty Years' War, says that more than one quarter of Europe's population died as a result of those thirty years of slaughter, famine and disease. Ironically, the majority of Europeans who killed each other shared such orthodox religious beliefs as Jesus' deity, the Trinity, and even "creationism." So you can't blame the horrific spectacle of the Thirty Years' War on modern day scapegoats like atheism, humanism or the theory of evolution. Such a war demonstrates that getting nations to agree on major articles of faith does not ensure peace. Far from it. Some of the most intense rivalries exist between groups whose beliefs broadly resemble one another but differ in subtle respects. - Skip Church ------------------------------------------------ You shoud read and learn from hundreds of similar links. http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/history/intolerance.html http://www.probe.org/docs/intolerance.html |
