Actually, Muslims aren't discouraged from reading the bible. In fact, some of their greatest scholars happen to study Hebrew and the bible in great detail. If you would happen to watch any of the great Christian/Muslim debates, you would know that. In fact, many Muslims are openly invited to read and learn about the Bible, and if you spoke to some, you would find it only increases their faith.

Also, the supposed western superiority is laughable. I know as an educated American. Very few American Christians actually follow their religion, or even know much about it, yet they feel free to condemn others quickly. In fact, popes and other religious leaders from past centuries were very prone to avarice and sexual freedoms; even in recent years we discover how the church struggled to hide its pedophilia scandal.

That's not to say Christianity is immoral or "heathenistic." Many people seem unable to separate the religion from the practicer. From the standpoint of many people in Africa, India and the Middle East who have been colonized, mistreated, enslaved, as well as are currently being invaded and killed by the West, that would be condemning and hating all Westerners.

Oh wait, they do. Maybe for good reason. But they're no different from ignorant Westerners who have probably have had more education and more opportunity to learn about different religions - and NOT from foreign invaders who decide they want to own the world.

The fact that there are such hateful Muslims as well as Christians disgust me. Speak in favor of your religion, but to go so far as to call other ones names just shows insecurity and closed-mindedness.

"The fact that there are such hateful Muslims as well as Christians disgust me. "

The fact that some equate present day Christians and Muslims disgusts me. Equating the past with present practitioners, equating aberrant and notorious but limited Catholic practitioners of pedophilia which was condemned by the Church with the widespread and Koranic call for jihad coming from Mosques, equating the repression of the present day Muslim countries with the present day freedoms of Western or Christian countries, equating the ignorance and illiteracy of Muslim countries with the supposed ignorance of their religion of Christian countries, ALL disgusts me.

Accusing the West and saying Africa, India and the Middle East are "currently being invaded and killed by the West" disgusts me too.

Stop trashing Westerners and Christians.
