Christians cannot stand it when Jesus is insulted. But we know those people do so out of ignorance.
If they know him as God and the owner of their soul, they would bow and worship him.

"silence is the best reply for a f o o l"

we make them more f o o lish when we keep quiet. . .but after a while it is expected to preach repentance to them.

#mind you, our warfare are not carnal. i.e we don't fight with bomb, with fight with something more than the physical, something they'll never understand.. something dangerous yet comforting.

It dates back to d bible days, wen judas betrayed Jesus and handed him to his crucifiers, one of d disciple whyl tryin to save his Master, cut off d ear of a soldier, but Jesus glued it bak on and wat did HE say?

Jesus has clearly pointed out to us dat violence is never d answer. Des fanatics do not know wat dey r doin. Jesus can fight his own battles so why displease Him to please Him? D battle is not and has never bin against flesh nd blood, so why kill?

Don't be fooled - racist undertones and a history of US leaders and friends attacking and bombing other countries has led to the general responses worldwide to the hate-filled film.

Just imagine a white person making a movie calling Martin Luthor King (not even Jesus yet) a love-vendor who taught African-Americans to be violent drug-taking gangsters then someone showing it on TV in a place like Harlem.

And what about the crusaders?


Somehow, most Christians only know history they see in their bible. Although largely misrepresented and adjusted to fit the intentions of the original author (as well as subsequent reproducers), they still regard bible history as fact!. I'll leave this here for now


Sticking to the topic, Christians have had there own fair share of barbarism in the name of religion. Galileo Galilei was freaking arrested for just suggesting the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. The pope was absolutely livid when he heard this (now we know Galilei was right). Imagine if Jesus was misrepresented in that era? Some people will be barbecue before the day is over.

Come on guys, Christianity has only followed the trend of change and immense advancement in technology and culture to re-brand itself, Islam on the other hand will rather stay primitive hence all the silly things we see.


Religion is a farce! and they are all the same, all of them, none exempted. The earlier we can see through it for what it really is, the better for us.

i bet each of the world wars spearheaded by christians, even nigerian war headed by christian dont count of aggressions?

Hey someone needs to turn the other cheek like Bush senior or junior or another christian leader who can stop himself from fighting a war, even so start the war, bush style of preemptive strike.

Through in John Ashcroft, Donald Rumfeld, Dick Cheney for good measure.

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything but the Religious Leaders.

If Christian Religious leaders started concentrating on preaching hate and violence against unbelievers, you can be certain that Christians will be exactly like violent Muslims - majority of whom have had years of listening to ethnophobic hate speeches that are neither Islamic or anything close to Holy.

Christian Religious leaders are more interested in building congregations and swelling the vaults of the church.. see why Christians can never be genocidal violent to Muslims or Guru-Maharajis

christians want their heavens on earth. heavens fully on earth before heavens in the heavens require a long life.


On a serious note, majority of christians dont see a big deal in making a joke about Jesus. A Muslim(who knows Islam well) wouldn't ever insult Jesus. So, y would he allow you insult Muhammed(S.A.W). I am not in support of using violent means but Muslims would forever show their displeasure when you insult their faith. No apologies.

Not so.

We do take insults to his name seriously but we are only frail human beings and cannot fight the enemies of God ( they are mostly spiritual ) he will sort them out himself.

We live on a higher moral plane.


Jude 1:15
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”


"Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord." - Romans 12:19

Deuteronomy 32:35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them."

Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody

2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done



You see, we worship a living GOD who all power belongs to , not some weakling that sends his hordes of fanatics to maim, kill and torture God's own creatures.

Hello sister Deols , my blog was created to mitigate the madness caused by our common 'enemies', those rampant atheists. grin

Anyway , read about the crusades on-line , they were not in any form or shape Christians .

thanks.
