Ya bro.. since before I was muslim it really hurt me and touch me... it's absolute evil.
There is NO true coverage of what's happening and it's been happening for DECADES!
Ignorant idiots go 'haha them mozzlems' NOT realizing it's ALSO christians who are being decimated! What's even funny is that evangelical christians support Israel YET it israelis HATE christians, HATE americans and talk shit about them openly in their media, but don't mind taking their money and 'support'.
There are so many documentaries showing the same things over and over again but people turn a blind eye... the whole world just tries to ignore the problem as then it would show the double standards and hypocricy of many governments and media outlets.

I know, everyone hates Christians.
And yeah, why would Christians support Israel? It's not like anything significant occurred there or will occur there with Jesus........OOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOHHHHH.

the jews tried to Kil Jesus, but Allah saved him(jesus peace be upon him). Jews dont even acknowledge that Jesus was special in anyway.
so yes, it dosent make anysense when Christians think is OK to opress muslims who love Jesus but support jews who hate jesus.

The jews didn't try to kill Jesus, they succeeded (with some muscle from the Romans). No, the vast majority of jews do not acknowledge Jesus as special in anyway. The Sanhedrin viewed Christ as a threat to their authority and they despised him despite all his incredible, divine works displayed clearly in front of them. The Sanhedrin was angry because the masses were following Christ and not them (arrogance at its finest). Christ came into the world to save the world. The fact that the jews refuse to acknowledge him is their problem to reconcile, but Christians (as representatives of Christ and inaccordance with his commands) reach out to the world....to jews, muslims, atheists, catholics, hindus, satanists, what have you. It doesn't seem logical that Islam adheres to a position of intolerance given the repeated notion of Allah's mercy, but I can only conclude (based on the positions reflected here) that Muslims turns their back on those that disagree with them or that don't like them (given y'all find it so ridiculous that Christians would support Israel despite the Jewish opinion of Christ). Christians (representing Christ) aren't directed to function in that manner...Christ's message is that of love.
I enjoyed how you randomly inserted "Christians think is OK to oppress muslims" LOL.....classic "jab and distraction"! It's completely fallacious, but still a classic ploy. Although, you can dispense with any random youtube clips showing Christians "ganging up on Muslims"....none of those "Christians" are representative of the whole of Christianity or Christ...plain and simple. I could easily find and post clips and articles of Muslims ganging up on Christians, but what does that prove? That some people are wicked and ugly towards others? We already know that. Any "Christians" that oppress others do not represent Christ and are basically nominal Christians at best.
Muslims deny Christ's deity and relegate him to the status of a mere prophet under the guise of "love and respect and admiration"...that's not love or respect....that's the mask of the antichrist.
1 John 4:3
3 But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.

@ a_ahmed
Many people of other religions are suffering in Muslim countries.
There is no religious freedom in most Muslim countries, it is there way and that is it, you want to be a christian do it behind closed doors.
Muslims demand a freedom in other countries that they will NEVER EVER give to others in their own FACT
I don't want to start a internet video war but I see vids all the time of Muslims also doing evil to others especially in North Africa.
You are so brain washed that you only want to see the good in Islam.
IT IS NOT all good
Muslims are human and just like all other humans there are good and bad ones (the same as Christians, Jews etc)
Your well rehearsed antisemitism is also tiresome, yes the Palestinians have got a raw deal but you also see what you want to see.
I want every one to get a fair shake especially the Palestinians , but people like you don't want that, you want the complete and utter destruction of the state of Israel and the destruction of its people, that is what gives you a hard on,
Blaming the Jews for everything from the sinking of the Titanic to your girl friend having her period and ruining your week end is laughable.
As you said your self haters are going to hate, take your own words to heart

I dont have to time or the interest to have a boring 100 page debate with you, you keep qouting from a book which has been changed and messed with. How about I give you qoutes about people who give partners to God? and how they will burn for ever? and how the Devil makes the things they do seem good, even though they are on a downward spiral(as in they think they are on the right religion but in reality FAR astray)
lets just say this, somthing we can both agree on. Death will come to us both, as with every living thing. We will see on Judgement day what the truth was and who was on the right path. ;), after all we both have to stand infront of Allah and answer. I know Allah has no son/rivals/associates/partners, but you insist he does, Allah knows what the hearts conceal.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path.

lol who loves jesus more? Muslims or pray exactly like him? or you who have invented you own way or prayers.
::) que the typical jesus worshiped like that becuase he wanted to not becuase he was told to ..ect or that was human desire.
Moses, Noah, Jesus, Mohammad all worship in the same way and muslims seem to contiue that way or worship hm....... Nah! forget it lets go sing instead! its more fun ;D.

The world would be a better place if Israel would just wipe these animals off the planet. They will never conform to the modern acceptable standard of what it means to be human... meaning they will always be subhuman.

You know, I don't desire anyone should be wiped off the earth or that anyone should spend an eternity separate from God.
I do realize how difficult it is sharing and/or reasoning with our Muslim men and women especially those born into Muslim families; honestly, it isn't their fault at all. As small children (as far back as day one of life) they have had repeated to them "La ilaha ilia Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah" over and over again. They've been taught that everything in competing faiths (especially Christianity) is absolutely corrupt and false...this is ingrained into the fiber of who they are and anything that stands opposed to that train of thought is both highly offensive, fully corrupt, blood boiling, completely confusing and utterly meaningless. The Christian concepts I belief and speak to Muslims about can effect them all the way to their cores. These are extremely personal theological concepts taught to Muslims by their Moms, Dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, friends, etc...it's deeply personal, powerful and meaningful to them...it's a life's worth of utter devotion. And to have a Christian share their beliefs (that stand directly opposed to their own) can be like getting hit in the gut with a sledgehammer. That said, Muslims are raised up and prepared in boot camp like fashion to challenge Christianity at every turn. Yet again, it really isn't their fault in so many, many cases.....thereinlies the rub.
For a Christian that desires to see Muslims come to know Christ it is often times akin to speaking to a brick wall. I'm not suggesting that Muslims are "dumb as bricks" (no, no, no).....I'm suggesting that penetrating their perceptions is like penetrating a brick wall. How does a believer in Christ overcome that while maintaining civility and representing Christ appropriately in the face of those that passionately and unrelentingly stand in opposition? It's extremely challenging and oft times a regrettably fruitless pursuit.

Oh good call, so Israel will wipe out the Muslims and Christians from Palestine. Then Mos can talk about what he's talking about.
About your quote about Jesus and false prophets. Well Muhammad (pbuh) does not deny Jesus. Jews do.
Islam is the only religion that accepts Jesus as the messiah and a prophet of God.
What we reject is later inventions which we already went over many times historically talking about how the trinity was conjured up and debated by the founders of Christianity.

What we reject is later inventions which we already went over many times historically talking about how the trinity was conjured up and debated by the founders of Christianity.
So again, we're referring to the council of Nicea. So let's set the record straight.
For approximately 3 centuries prior to 325 AD Christians were severely persecuted for the scriptural doctrine of the Trinity they taught. They didn't use the term "Trinity" as it was later coined, but they absolutely discussed the coequal, coeternal persons of God in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the decade or so leading up to the Council of Nicea a presbyter named Arius spoke out against his church bishop and made the claim that Jesus, although on earth to fulfill a divine purpose, was in fact created by God and was therefore neither eternal nor was he deity. After several years of this opposing position being taught by Arius, it eventually reached Emporer Constantine's ears and he feared that this teaching would eventually split the Christian church that was enjoying a breif period of peace from all out persecution. That said, he convened 300 bishops to appear at a council in Nicea on June 19, 325 AD to discuss Arius' competing idea of Jesus' being created by God. The council convened and discussed the point and despite Arius' "silver tongue" he was unable to convince the vast majority of his position given the existing teachings of the father, son and spirit dating all the way back to Christ himself. That said, the trinity was not created in Nicea, but was merely upheld and reaffirmed there. I'll concede the concept may have been coined under the umbrella term of "Trinity" at this point, but the council certainly did not create the theology there...that's a twisted myth. In the years that followed, Arius' small group of believers eventually succumbed to infighting within their ranks and his unorthodox teachings fell to the wayside for the most part; although, today some small groups of "Christians" still deny the Trinity.

I see what you did here. Still, what I wrote was heartfelt even if it is mocked.

I wasn't mocking, was just trying to show that the same can be said for either side. :) For example, you say you want Muslims to know Jesus, whereas Muslims want Christians to know Jesus as well.

Well my friend, it just doesn't go both ways and I mean that respectfully. Christians aren't raised up like Muslims are.
I can reassure you that I do know my God, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ very, very well!! And he's so, so much more than a mere prophet....this is what I long for others to understand and experience for themselves, but I completely understand the roadblocks in doing so.
-

I think you're referring to how Muslims generally emphasize to their children a greater importance towards religion than Christians do (with exceptions of course). Islam is about complete submission, so it shouldnt be of any surprise if we are persistent in our beliefs. Despite that I have met some Christians who get the term "bible thumper" who preach religion at least as aggressively as you label Muslims to.

I can reassure you that I do know God and his prophet Jesus Christ very, very well!! And God is above having a son, such that it's blasphemous to even suggest that a human is divine or begotten by God...this is what I long for others to understand and experience for themselves, but I completely understand the roadblocks in doing so.
Again, I'm not mocking, but showing that you are simply stating your views and interprations and nothing more.

Here Mos this is what they think of your 'god':
To be honest, this isn't any more or less offensive than Islam's denial of Christ's divinity, but what can I do about it?

The brickwall I was referring to bigbobs...the brick frickin wall LOL!! True refused to respond to me earlier other than saying I'm gonna spend eternity in hell after judgement by Allah.
I can't make y'all understand and it breaks my heart that I can't reach you because I literally pour myself into my posts. I'm sorry, but I'm finished for today....have a good one.
-
To be honest, this isn't any more or less offensive than Islam's denial of Christ's divinity, but what can I do about it?
I can't view the video from my work computer so I'm not sure what was contained in it, but to say that the Jews' views towards Jesus "isn't any more or less offensive" than Islam's views does not make any sense. If you love Jesus as you say you do, you would find less offence towards Islam's view which exhalts him to be much greater than the Jewish view of him.

Exactly, it doesn't make any sense to you....again, exactly what I illustrated above. The things I speak of are so foreign and immediately deemed blasphemous and are basically anathema to the Muslim before they're even considered.
-
No it's just facts. Jews hate Jesus and Christianity. They boast of killing Jesus, etc... They also hate the fact that Christians persecuted them for centuries. Today they're just taking your money happily, while talking crap behind your back in their own quarters. That's a fact.
And wait, why does this revolve around you again being insecure about trinity, views of this or that?
This was a thread about the suffering of Palestinians Muslim AND CHRISTIAN.
About your response about christians being persecuted, they were persecuted by the jews and romans, not for the trinity lol but for threatening powers that be.
The early followers of Jesus followed and observed the law, worshipped only one God, etc... these are facts. Remember Paul was not welcomed, and he himself was an oppressor and what he preached was FOREIGN and opposing to the teachings that the disciples were accustomed to.
He himself was a pharisees Jew and a servant of the romans.
So let me get this thread straight, you are defending Israelis even though Christian Palestinians are being persecuted day and night (alongside muslims obviously), churches and mosques desecrated, villages demolished and taken over, farms taken over, houses bulldozed down.
Lets not even talk about Muslims. This is happening to the Christians. Mind you while in catholic high school, I was not muslim and well aware of the situation and we talked about the CHRISTIANS there, besides Jesus was born in palestine and spoke aramaic.
What do you think was done to betlehem by the zionists? How were the chrsitians (and muslims) treated and evicted?
There's a fine line as to their survival.

Apparently hating Jesus versus revering and loving him as a prophet are equal in MOS views, and anyone who doesn't comprehend has views like a "brick wall" ::)
-
None of this changes that the monsters are breeding more evil monsters. We'd be better off if evil was eradicated.... I don't care what the monsters think of Jesus. They are still monsters.
-
Apparently hating Jesus versus revering and loving him as a prophet are equal in MOS views, and anyone who doesn't comprehend has views like a "brick wall" ::)
So on your own you've changed and expanded the scope of my "brickwall" posts to encompass all of humanity versus just the population of Muslims and in particular the 3 or 4 Muslims active on the Getbig religion board. So, according to bigbobs, what MOS said is "anyone that doesn't comprehend what I'm saying has views like a brickwall"....incredible LOL....100% fallacious.
My post was an attempt to be sympathetic and understanding, not insulting...I'm a bit surprised it wasn't perceived as I had intended. The gist of my post was "since Muslims devote their lives to Islam from almost day one of birth their theology becomes a solid part of their core...it's within the very fiber of who they are." Attempting to change perceptions like that is a daunting task, like trying to penetrate a brickwall (or a steelwall, or stopping the Hulk LOL, etc....). Christians aren't raised quite like that (certainly there are hardcore folks that are, but that's a minority), but there's an absolute difference in lifestyle that makes the Muslim so very different from the Christian. For me to share my beliefs, without being perceived as threatening or insulting, is extremely difficult when speaking with Muslims. Muslims are the most resolute audience I've ever encountered (that's not an insult either).....it's as if y'all have attended Islamic bootcamp LOL!!

Sorry ahmed, did not mean to veer your thread off course.
In one of your first posts you stated "What's even funny is that evangelical christians support Israel YET it israelis HATE christians". I then responded to that. True responded and backed up your "What's even funny is that evangelical christians support Israel YET it israelis HATE christians" statement. I then responded to True. Someone else responded. I attempted some humor. It wasn't received as such.....few more posts....here we are.
Israel is very important to Christians despite hatred...we face hate everywhere and are called to the be "salt and light" of the world.
Still, there isn't an ounce of insecurity in me concerning the Trinity.....I'm as rock solid as can be about it. Not sure why you perceive insecurity as my position on the Trinity hasn't budged.
-
The facts:
It's true. Palestinian Christians are persecuted and mistreated by Jewish extremists. However, they are persecuted and mistreated by Muslim extremists too, more so than they are by Jewish extremists.
There are many more Palestinian Christians in Israel than there are in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip put together. Why? There are many reasons, but this is also a testament to where and by whom they are persecuted most.
Most Jews today are atheist. They do not hate Jesus because they doubt Jesus even existed. Of the religious Jews, many are Christian...ever heard of Messianic Jews, or Jews for Jesus?
Palestinian Christians who are persecuted or mistreated by Jews either take it or leave. They don't go around suicide bombing and terrorizing the Jews in retaliation. The same can't be said for Palestinian Muslims.
It's true, many Western Christians blindly support Israel not even understanding exactly what that means. The Bible tells us that God will bless those who bless Israel and will curse those who curse Israel. This does not mean that Christians should support every single thing Israel does.

Romans 11:25-29
God’s Mercy Is for Everyone
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. 26 And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,
“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem,
and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
27 And this is my covenant with them,
that I will take away their sins.”
28 Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 29 For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.

wow truly deaf, dumb and blind.
It's just fascinating. Christian Palestinians are more oppressed by Muslims than Zionists who bulldoze everyone's home and take everyone's land that is not Jewish.
It was an eye opening experience to see how blinded some of you are.

In October 2007, Rami Ayyad, the Baptist manager of The Teacher's Bookshop, the only Christian bookstore in the Gaza Strip, was publicly tortured before being murdered, following the firebombing of his bookstore and the receipt of death threats from Muslim extremists angry at what they viewed to be his missionary activity.
