At least with someone trying to follow a radical first century Christianity as opposed to 7th century Islam, you don't have to worry about anything more than someone trying to live at peace with all men, to do good to believers and unbelievers alike, to give no offense through his behavior, to obey the civil authorities, and to be ready to give, with gentleness and respect, when asked, a reason for the hope that is within him.

In what I have read of the Qur’an, it seems to me that the actions of fighting, killing, etc. are called for as a reaction to aggression, and it further instructs Muslims to quit fighting once the aggressors have ceased fighting them, and yes Christianity is more of a passive religion, in a way advocating submission as does Islam. Christianity also instructs Christians to bring others to Jesus Christ so they may be saved.

Thanks for your response.

If one looks really hard, one can actually see a difference between your description and people who blow themselves up on crowded buses.
