>Why should Christians and Muslims hate each other?
No, we shouldn't.
>The way I see it, we stand for the same thing ultimately - no degeneracy, no American TV shows indoctrinating our children, no loose morals, but strong integrity and ethics. Do you agree, or is this more of a moralist view?
I do not completely agree.
Those things you listed are all rather vague (degeneracy, indoctrination, etc), and I feel that while I might have an idea of what you're talking about, it would be unfair to say "I agree".
We Muslims worship God, and that's it. God does not allow things that are bad for us, and as such we are not allowed to do a lot of the things you're probably implying, but the reason for us not doing them is mainly because God wants us to.
>I think we can agree on american culture being the cancer that seeks to spread all over the world and destroy it (I wouldn't call it "western" really, because it all comes from the US). We can also probably agree that many sects of Christianity are cancerous and should be cleansed (same probably goes for many Islamic sects).
I do not think American culture is cancer. American culture at it's core wants to free people and allow them to be the author of their own lives. This is also a reason the BO here is a American Muslim, because the society in which he lives allowed him to research on his own and find his way without opressing him.
Sadly, American culture is made by men, and thus not perfect, but it's far from the worst system we've created.
I do not know much about sects, so I won't answer.
>I would love to hear your views and opinions on these things. Hate brings only hate and never ending cycle of hate, it is Jesus who taught me to take the higher road and forgive my enemies, because there is no difficulty in being kind to your friends. Again I am sure the Quran must bring similar wisdom.
I would compare Islam to a beehive. A community working together and fighting back when attacked.
Another thing is; Why is your goal with this? Why try to reach out to the five to ten Muslims browsing this board? Do you want to build a bridge between the Christian part of this website and the Muslim part?
>Another thing I would like to hear your opinion on is - are the Muslims in Europe doing gang rapes and grooming children doing it because of Islamic culture or is it something about their specific countries (please note that this is not a bait - I am genuinely curious about your views of this matter, and I'm again sure we can all agree pedophiles and rapists are animals). Please don't answer this with "Christians do this too" - of course they do, I am aware of it, just curious of your opinion as I said before.
The "Muslims" doing the raping have probably never held a Qur'an in their life, as their actions are clearly opposed to it.
What your government did was take the worst people from all countries and dumped them into yours. Of course they're going to be doing such things, they're the bottom of the barrel. It's even stated in the Qur'an that we as Muslims should live together, do you really think a practicing Muslim would disobey God and move to a secular country?
Of course, such things might happen in war and such and a few rightious Muslims might have to, but the majority of the people moving to the west are doing it for the money.
>Is the ultimate goal of Islam to spread all over the world and be the only allowed religion? I am asking because from my point of view, diversity and experiencing other cultures is a happy thing (when everyone keeps to their own culture - but that is another matter entirely).
Yes, the end goal of God is for everybody to submit to him WILLINGLY. So the end goal of Islam is to spread to every country.
However, if you want to keep being Christian we will never force you to become Muslim, as it's against our religion.
>Thanks, have a nice day.
Thanks, you too.
