Can Christians Condemn Islam?

So, there are a few Fundamentalist Muslims who seem radical and dangerous.

Thus:

Christians often tend to try to portray Islam as evil.

But Islam is not evil, and....as a matter of fact--is traveling the same road that Christianity did.

It is traveling that road at about the same pace as Christianity did.

Hard to understand?

I will explain.

Christianity is 2000 years old.

Islam is 1400 years old.

The difference is 600 years.

Think about it.

What were Christians doing 600 years ago?

Those were the days of the Inquisition--when Christians tortured and murdered anyone who questioned the Faith. Millions died for questioning the Christian dogma.

This behavior started early and often and only 350 years after Jesus said, "Love your enemy."

Muslims, especially, were considered to be sub-human and worthy of only death. America today still promotes the killing of Muslims, setting up and controlling oppressive puppet governments in order to control the oil supply to America.

Why would anyone be surprised at the negative attitude that many Muslims have toward America?

But Christianity's record, when closely examined, leaves plenty of room for Islam to catch up or even surpass Christianity.

The gap is 600 years, but some of Christianity's primitive and superstitious behavior is less than 300 years in our past.

It was only around 300 years ago in America when the Salem Witch Trials sentenced innocents to be drowned or burned by Christians.

Even today in America, homosexuals are murdered by confused and ignorant Christians because the Bible (badly interpreted) appears to be condemning of all homosexual behavior.

And, of course, most of Christianity still treats women as second-class citizens (be a nun....NOT a priest).

Cultures and religions progress at their own pace. Islam is progressing just as quickly as Christianity did, and will probably catch up (as Christianity seems to be currently undergoing a time of regression and darkness).

And we should remain aware that progressive attitudes are common in some Muslim nations. Many Muslims, especially the Suffi Muslims, are as liberal and modern in their religion as any elderly Presbyterian of America.....perhaps more liberal and modern.

The bottom line is this:

We should judge no culture by our standards when our standards are alien to that culture.

Christians, who are themselves only a heartbeat away from the days of murdering anyone who questioned their dogma, are probably least qualified to condemn other cultures for those same actions.
