Democracy in America didn't help the 16,000 victims of murder last year either did it? Or the 90,000 rape victims. Or 263,000 victims of robbery/assault.
And? Those things don't happen with the motivation being Christianity. Those rapes are not being done in the name of Jesus. None of those are being done in the name of Jesus. If you want to change the topic from religion to nations be my guest. I will get in line first and point out how corrupt American society is.

There is crime everywhere. BUT....the highest prison population per capita certainly is not in a Muslim country is it? Sad as it is, a Christian was safer in Iraq in 2006 than in New Orleans in 2006.
Christians IN Iraq are persected for their religion, not just a random act of criminal intent.
Quote:
Look it up. Violent deaths per capita. There are a whole list of US cities that ranked lower in safety than wartime Iraq and you look overseas and talk of "second class citizens" and safety.
What you are doing is called a Red Herring.

Get this: I and my family are safer as an American in Saudi Arabia than I was in Houston. That is a FACT and I am on the ground here. Many of us are. Now spend some time scratching your heads and justify that one away.
Yeah? Well get this. If I were in Saudi Arabia I would be very unsafe for practicing my religion openly...

US christians aparantly have little sympathy in the government that is supposed to protect them as well. BTW dont you have an assignment you are supposed to be working on in the Islam vs. Christianity board Prax?
I have no assignments. That is the great thing about being in America. Pretty arrogant that you think you can hand me an assignment and expect me to drop everything do it lol

How can one tell whether any particular religion is false?
Put it to the test by seeking God. When I sought God, I found Jesus not Allah.

Advise to be very careful here and do not, in the cause of bigotry, and for the purpose of being noticed, blaspheme. You need to re-open your Bible. Jesus was sent by God to teach us. Who did Jesus himself pray to?
"Eli Eli lama sabachthani"
In Aramaic, Jesus' native tongue the personal name of God is ALAHA. In Hebrew it is ALAH, ELAH, of ELOH. In Arabic it is AL-ILAH. It is the deeply respectful term of "one who is to be worshipped"
You probably did not realize that. Knowng this, you are now free to make further remarks about what you believe or who God is.

....at the risk of being blown up by a 13 year old girl suicide bomber for your blaspheme. Or stoned by the elders.
I will re-post, and will be the first in line to state that Islam specifically and in the Quran forbids persecution of both Christians and Jews for their beliefs. I was asked earlier about Muslim nations and answered honestly from what I know.
Sharia law is pretty simple. Some givenments add all kinds of stuff to it and make it opressive. The Mideast is a mix. Egypt, Lebanon, UAE, and Bahrain legal systems have Sharia basis yet are tolerant of other faiths. KSA and others are not. KSA is especially bad about oppression of women. They forget (and believe me when I say I remind Saudis of this) that Mohammed's wife was a businesswoman who travelled and did business all over the middle east. They hate that reminder (laughing) because Islam specifically teaches that a wife's property and business is hers and only hers and that they have the right to manage their own business. Preventing such is against the Quran AND the teachings of Mohammed (they hate to hear that but never contend that is incorrect either).
Sharia law, as spelled out, is not oppressive and was never intended to be opressive. Certainly throughout time oppressive legal systems are by no means limited to those who misuse Sharia law either. It boils down to this as what I have observed in the world: Bad leaders form bad governments who create opressive conditions for the people who then have to live under their control.

Yeah well get this. In the US it is unsafe for Muslims to practice religion openly. Religious persecution takes many path, but it is still persecution no matter how shiny the wrapping.

In Hebrew His personal name is Yahweh. In Hebrew the word for God is Elohim or Eloah or El. Eli means "My God"
