[b]Are Christians more violent than Muslims?

Are Christians more violent than Muslims? What does the record say?

Murder rate: White America, like most Christian countries in the Americas, Africa and Eastern Europe, is markedly more violent than most of the Middle East (murders per 100,000 population):

0.6 Bahrain
0.7 Oman
0.8 United Arab Emirates
0.9 Qatar
1.0 Saudi Arabia
1.2 Egypt
1.7 Cyprus
1.8 Jordan
2.0 Iraq
2.1 Israel
2.2 Kuwait
2.2 Lebanon
2.3 Syria
3.0 Iran
3.3 Turkey
3.4 WHITE AMERICA
4.1 Palestine
4.2 Yemen

Terrorist attacks: According to the FBI, only 6% of the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 were carried out by Muslim extremists. Even Jewish extremists carried out more (7%).

War: Wars with at least a million dead:

Christian wars:

years: name: conservative body count in millions
*535-554: Gothic Wars: 5.0m
*790-1300: Reconquista: 7.0m
*1096-1272: Crusades: 2.0m
*1337-1453: Hundred Years’ War: 3.0m
*1562-1598: French Wars of Religion: 3.0m
*1568-1648: Dutch Revolt: 1.0m
*1618-1648: Thirty Years’ War: 3.0m
*1655-1660: Second Northern War: 3.0m
*1763-1864: Russian-Circassian War: 2.0m
*1792-1802: French Revolutionary Wars: 2.0m
*1803-1815: Napoleonic Wars: 3.5m
*1830-1903: War in Venezuela: 1.0m
*1882-1898: Conquests of Menelik II of Ethiopia: 5.0m
*1910-1920: Mexican Revolution: 1.0m
*1914-1918: First World War: 20.0m
*1917-1922: Russian Civil War: 5.0m
*1939-1945: Second World War: 41.5m (European deaths only)
*1946-1954: First Indochina War: 1.0m
*1950-1953: Korean War: 1.2m
*1955-1975: Vietnam War: 1.1m
*1998-2003: Second Congo War: 2.5m

Muslim wars:

1370-1405: Conquests of Tamerlane: 7.0m
1681-1707: Conquests of Aurangzeb: 5.0m
1967-1970: Nigerian Civil War: 1.0m
1980-1988: Iran-Iraq War: 1.0m
1983-2005: Second Sudanese Civil War: 1.0m
1989-2001: Afghan Civil War: 1.4m

Seven times more people have died in Christian wars: 113.8 million compared to the 16.4 million who died in Muslim wars.

There are more Christians, but only about 50% more, nothing like seven times more.

Western history is Eurocentric, so we know more about wars in Christian lands than in Muslim ones. But not for wars since 1900, and there the imbalance is even worse: 73.3 million compared to 4.4 millon – 17 times more dead in Christian wars.

Some blame technology, yet the Muslim world has all the weapons the West had to kill over 100 million people. And yet it did not.

Democide: counts those who died not through war or street crime but through the wilful in/action of government, like genocide or Mao’s Great Leap Forward.

Christian democides of a million or more (does not count communist democides):

940-1917: Russia (tsarist): 2.1m
1095-1272: Crusades: 1.0m
1451-1870: European slave trade: 17.3m
1492-1900: Latin America: 13.8m Amerindians
1600-1900: Caribbean: 10.0m slaves worked to death
1618-1648; Thirty Years War: 5.8m
1651-1987: British Empire: 1.1m (not counting slavery)
1800-1900: Brazil: 1.5m Amazon rubber companies
1900-1920: Mexico: 1.4m
1933-1945: Germany (Nazis): 20.9m
1945-1948: Poland: 1.6m

Muslim democides of a million or more:

400-1900: Iran: 2.0m
1110-1918: Ottoman Empire: 3.9m
1958-1987: Pakistan: 1.5m
1983-2005: Sudan: 1.9m Nuer, Dinka, Christians, Nuba, etc

Christians have killed eight times more people in democides than Muslims: 76.5 million compared to 9.3 million. Almost the same rate as for war.

The mistake here lies not in the numbers but in the words “Christian” and “Muslim”. Sometimes religion is a cause – or at least an excuse – like in the bombings by Christian extremist Eric Rudolph or the genocide in Sudan. But most often it is not. Calling, say, the 9/11 terrorists “Muslim” is like calling Hitler “Christian”: true yet misleading. It is Islamophobia, not a serious attempt to understand the world as it is.

Ifeann:
Islam is all about fighting non muslims and taking slaves. .

Lesser jihad

(1) “Fighting is prescribed for you” (Koran 2:216);

(2) “Slay them wherever you find them” (Koran 4:89);

(3) “Fight the idolators utterly” (Koran 9:36);


Here are teachings that encourage savage behaviour of Muslims.


Qur’an 8:12— Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

Qur’an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”

Quran 2:193. "And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors."

Quran 8:39. "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do."

Qur'an (9:29)-"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Sura 9:5. "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them."

Bukhari 2:24: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Buyers Beware!!
Ifeann aka parisbookaddict is a licensed manipulator. She has twisted the Quran verses to fit the holy book into her warped imagination of evil. If you read Q4:89 and 4:90, you will get the idea that Allah is only ordering Muslims to fight back those who were fighting them. See the way she just lifted "seize them and slay them...", just to paint Islam back. She's evil

Q4:89
"They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks"

Q4:90
"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened NO way for you (to war against them)"

It's the same thing that she's done here. The next verse after the one she mutilated proofs that those disbelievers were fighting Muslims non-stop, before Muslims retaliated.

Q2:216
"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not"

Q2:217
"They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein"

Read this complete verse and compare it with her mutilated version...
Q9:36
"The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves"

Ifeann aka parisbookaddict is delusional, she makes everything appear the way she sees in her head, even if it means engaging in extreme dishonesty!

I have addressed other verses twisted around by her associates (some of which she mentioned here) in this link. You'll find two posts regarding it.

PastorKun:


I don't get your point, cause even from what you have posted here we can still see that Islam is a religion that encourages violence and there is no evidence that they are even fighting to defend themselves as you wrongly claimed. It is a well documented fact that islamic jihad are mostly offensive and not defensive as you are trying to mislead us here.

Ifeann:


Dont edit my quotes please..

9jaforlife:


What kind of evidence do you need? Video recordings?? The poster lifted verses among a set of verses, as a result it changed the meaning completely. Despite the fact that I have quoted the missing verses and explained the content, which is obviously about defence, you still say there is no evidence. Well, I'm happy that at least people with open minds will read and see for themselves!

Later you'd say Muslims don't defend allegations laid against their religion, it's simply because no matter what, you never see past your pre-conceived judgement!

obiak4:
With all the above Islam stands for peace
there are only two kinds of ppl in the world Good and Bad ppl

Sheenor:


Even tho islam stand for peace, why is it that some muslim heart is filled with hatred They never live in peace with their neighbor, problems no matter how most arise.. why

most of the friends i have lived with are muslims and have not had any issues with them thay are the most nicest ppl have come across who would not try to win you over buy quoting the Quran but tru thier deeds
wish everyone would once in a lifetime be with a true muslim
fanatism and fundamentalistic scholars are the really issues here
but generally religion has cause more harm than good to humanity generally

Sheenor:


I know what am saying bro, i grew up in a muslim family and muslim environment, i know lots and lots about islam..so, i really know what am saying.

9jaforlife:


I never edit your quotes!! I crossed it out or reduced the size. Ifeann aka parisbookaddict pls stop making it look like I changed your words!

Weah96:
Muslims don't like to party, unlike Christians who pop ecstasy pills in the club on Saturday, and show up for service in the morning. Muslims only need to get rid of this propensity for violence and they will have a chance to give Christianity a run for its money.

Without this terrorism business, Islam would be stealing food off the plates of these pastors.

Ifeann:


Stop editing my post.. make ur comment in a new quote box..
I will keep a record of this to further prove my points of muslim deciet and al taqiyyah

PastorKun:



How does "fighting till religion is only for allah "translate to being defensive Or instructions to kill all pagans, subdue christians/jews and collect jizya from them translate to being defensive warfare Would you care to explain?

9jaforlife:


Go back and read the post.

PastorKun:


Ansa my kweshun naa or do you find it too indicting to address?

9jaforlife:


I answered it clearly enough. Nothing inciting. You'd see it if you read the post, if you read with your mind open. So, once again, GO BACK AND READ THE POST!
