Just for fun, let's pretend I have a book called the Koran. Allah spoke to man years and years and years ago, and proclaimed that all must follow the Koran. The Koran specifically says that Catholicism is a false religion and any who follow it are doomed to eternity in hell. Further, it is my duty as a chosen Muslim to convince Catholics that they are wrong and living against the wishes of Allah . I am utterly convinced in the word of my Allah as recorded in the Koran.
fixed it for a real religion. If I worked on TV and talked bad about this religion, I could get fired.
Define "talked bad." And don't link me to a definition of the two words. What would you consider talking bad about religion? What could I say on TV about Christians that would be fine but if I said it about Muslims I would get fired?
Well, it depends on the show. If it's the news, it would probably be treated more fairly. For a TV show though, it is more acceptable to make fun of Christians than Muslims. In Family Guy they can get away with making fun of all sorts of Christian beliefs, etc., but it probably wouldn't go over so well if they started bashing Muslims. Maybe I'm wrong about that and that is just due to my Christian point of view, but maybe not.
But regardless, my point stands in that Christians are the majority here. Muslims are a minority. I think Muslims in this country have enough to deal with as it is. For example...do you wear a cross? If so, do most people look at you funny for wearing it?
Not for wearing a cross/crucifix since they're so common, but I get "looked at funny" for wearing a scapular (which is a Catholic symbol of a certain devotion to Mary). Also, in countries in which Islam is the dominant religion, Christians and others tend to be killed for their beliefs all the time.
