I understand your feeling. The title is difficult and the opinion is very difficult to take if you are not a Christian. I think the main thing is that God of the Bible does not want to see anyone perish (2 Peter 3:9). The main difference between the God of Islam and the true God is that the true God gives us a free will choice. We can accept that Jesus came to give us life (John 10:10) and die for the sins of the world (1 Peter 2:24) or we can reject Him (Matthew 25:30). It is our choice and there are consequences of making that one choice. I hope for everyone to choose “life” ( John 3:16 — “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”)

i am a christian and i understand it perfectly. the right to freedom of religion is only valid (in some opinions) if it is christian. christians do not like having their beliefs belittled and their freedom to worship as they believe restricted and yet so many of them demand that other belief systems be restricted and call them a “cult”, a “sham”, or deride them as not being a real religion. sounds an awful lot like what islam teaches.

Matthew 7:1-3

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
