I'm not trying to put Christianity on a pedestal. I'm very aware of history. But right now I'm only concerned with the present and the future.
Fact is generally speaking Islamic countries are very intolerant of other/western cultures. I hate those left suckers (I think on this forum they are known as lefties) bitching we aren't as tolerant as we used to be. Hell, Muslims live in peace in the west and they can freely practice their religion here, wear their religious clothes, build their houses of religion in our society.
You aren't even allowed to own a Bible in Saudi arabia (let alone build a church). The law requires citizens to be Muslim.
Yes, there are some Christian fanatics that aren't to fond of gays but I don't see them hanging them from the bridge publicly like they do in Iran.
In the largest Muslim country, Indonesia ( yes, the former Dutch colony), violence against Christians steadily increases.
In Egypt Christian are regarded second class people and are actively persecuted by Islamic militants.
I'm an atheist (well, some days I'm agnostic) so what do I care about all this? It goes against everything I believe to be right. And to most Muslims I'm just as much an infidel as any Christian.
