If islam is a peace religion why is...

If Islam naturally a peace religion, why are Christians scared of the spread of Islam.

***I am a christian and I think its because islam is the religion of the anti christ

and you base this on???

Wow, is there any wonder why some people think that some christians are judgmental, bigoted jerks?

Not ALL Christians are like that. You'll have to find someone who IS and ask them.

Because they think Muslims are a bunch of hateful terrorists... -__-

There are extremists in most religions, including Christianity.

Unfortunately, the extremists look better in the media and it only takes one extremist from any area of society or religion to cause chaos.

Many Muslims do speak out and say that the extremists in their religion do not reflect the majority view of muslims throughout the world.

Just like Christanity, which has many different sub religions that interpret the bible in their own way, so Muslims have the same with regards to the Koran.

the hestery and the mony and the land.. not the relagen

I'm not a Christian, and I don't like the idea of Islam spreading, because it is not a religion of peace, as demonstrated by the unusually large number of adherents who engage in violence for religious reasons ...an not just terrorists.

Muslim on Muslim religious violence is probably even larger than Islamic religious violence against non-Muslims.

Because Christians (as well as plenty other religious groups) are convinced that their beliefs are the only ones that are right, and woe betide anyone who tries to step on their toes.

Whoever said Islam was the religion of peace any more than any other religion (they ALL preach peace)...And like many Cristian denominations...Radical Muslems believe Islum is the only correct religion...and anyone who doesn't believe is an infidel. Radical is radical...doesn't matter where it comes from. Christians, however, haven't been trying to get their hands on nuclear weapons...

phrannie - You said 'Christians, however, haven't been trying to get their hands on nuclear weapons...'

No, because MOST Christian countries already have them.

Of course I'm sure it is fine to tell other countries that you will not allow them to have nuclear weapons when your own country has enough to destroy the planet 10 times over. (NOT!)

Would it not be strange if non christian countries (without nuclear weapons) were NOT afraid of christian countries that have them?

I'm sure many moslem countries are as afraid of the USA as much as the USA is afraid of them.

Anyway, who voted the USA as the world's police? I dont recall voting for them and surely, in a democratic world, this should have been done via a voting system?

Of course, if that have happened then the USA would certainly not have received the majority vote.

Just my own personal views.

Christian countries may have them, but the radical Christians GROUPS, do not...nor have I heard any one say they were looking to get their hands on them. Big dif between countries...and individual subversive groups.

I think it is very subjective depending where one lives and what ones rreligion is phrannie.

For example, even some people here in Britain thought Bush was on the radical christian side.

One can only imagine how some of the muslim countries viewed him, especially after the Iraq invasion when no weapons of mass destruction were found. Bearing in mind this was given as the main reason to invade.

I'm not having a go at Bush or the US, I can just see that the matter is one that is very subjective and can be viewed from many different angles which will lead to different views and conclusions.
