Please remember that those people in the video represent no one but themselves and are not representative of the whole community or of all non-Muslims, just like the terrorists represent no one except themselves and are not representative of Islam and Muslims.

ا ۚ اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

{Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.}5:8
 
I don't know how many people noticed, but in both videos there was a mention of 9/11. Most Americans still believe the official story that 19 Muslims, Osama Bin Laden, and Al Qaeda were the sole perpetrators for 9/11. This day will be brought up again and again in the expression of hatred toward Islam and Muslims until the real perpetrators of 9/11 are exposed and the unjust wars and occupations are ended.

Indeed and I would stand with the both of you. It matters not if we are Muslim, Christian or atheist. We are all human beings who deserve respect.

I don't think you can know how much hope, joy and courage statements like this give me!

I do have to note the irony of spreading hate with a sign that says "Jesus Loves you" lol

yes, also considering all the violence done in the name of Christianity throughout history. "Jesus loves you, but we will kill you".

Jesus' teachings are tough teachings to live up to - I am yet to meet anybody who truly manages it ...
But not living up to his example and blatantly ignoring his most important teachings are two different things!

I am reminded of this quote of Ghandi's:

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Which Christian principles are the USA applying in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan?

Its a pity that the most fundamental teaching of Jesus and the very purpose of his prophethood was changed and twisted and that is of establishing the oneness of God and re-establishing the laws Moses was given before him.

The fact that the teachings of Jesus were being twisted and changed were also mentioned in the oldest of the books the Dideche where Jesus is only seen as a Prophet of God by his family and it is mentio ed how his words were starting to be changed and twisted. If Jesus were on the Earth today he would be horrified that he came to establish the oneness of God and instead people were worshipping him as God instead of God himself.
 
There is so much hypocrisy in this video, waving the Israeli flag in one hand and a cross in the other. What happen to this country? Are these people really that stupid?
 
^ Salaam,

Some Christians support Israel because of some Biblical prophecies.
 
From what I remember, the formation of the Israel state is a sign of the coming of the resurrection of Jesus.

Well, the same can surely be said about Muslims as well as about followers of other religions. If our beloved prophet saw us today he would not be pleased with us, that's for sure. He was extremely merciful. An example:

"Whilst in Makkah, a pagan woman was given to throw filth and garbage upon the Prophet whenever he passed her house. One day, the noticeable absence of the Prophet’s abuser concerned him so much that he enquired after her. When he learnt of her sickness, he visited her. She was so taken aback by his merciful concern that she embraced Islam."

Like you said; it's quite hard to live up to such standards for the majority of people, but the world would be such a beautiful place if we could.

Salaam,

From a Christian perspective, when Jesus returns, the Jews will convert, otherwise they will be killed. Is it not odd? Israel, a place where some Jewish people believe Israel is a new beginning for them when it is really the end.

I find the alliance between Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists strange...

Yes I consider that very odd.

In my work before one other worker insulted me in cause of my religion. Then happened something...

All others came up and told him he can´t insult me and came to stand to me.

All of them were Christians.

Isn't it beautiful to see people coexist? :) Alhamdulillah.

There are many haters out there, but there are many more kind-hearted fellows! :)
 
I think it is natural, but a mistake, the suggest that hatred against Muslims is a function of Christianity. Are there people who in the name of Christianity hate Muslim people? Sure. Are their people in the name of Islam who hate Christians, Jews, et. Sure.

As a born-again, bible-believing Christian I am offended as much as anyone at seeing this. Any call for violence is contrary to the Christian message. We have a command from our Lord Jesus to love our enemies, pray for them, and do good to them. If these people are claiming to be Christians and see Muslims as their enemies, then they ought to obey Christ rather than their fear, hatreds, or bigotries.
