Why do the Muslim nations tolerate Muslim extremists and hate Christians?

Since the removal of the regime in Afghanistan there is no Muslim nation that tolerates Muslim extremists. Most Muslim extremists want to overthrow the current system of governance in their own Muslim nation, so its pretty impossible for a Muslim state to tolerate a group that wants to destroy it.

As for hating Christians, I think you will find zero evidence of this. Perhaps you are confusing opposition to Zionism and supporters of Zionism with hatred of Christianity. Or perhaps you are confusing opposition to foreign occupation in Iraq with hatred of Christians.

Most Muslims in fact give Christianity more respect than they do other religions (such as Hinduism, Shinto, Bhuddism, etc.) since we worship the same God. They just think they got the most recent profit (oops, prophet, this was once a stock discussion board ya know), in the same way Christians think we got the most recent prophet.

RE:"How come Muslim extremists bother you but Christian ones do not? They think and talk the same way as evidenced by the article I posted."

Why do the Muslim nations tolerate Muslim extremists and hate Christians?


Why do we tolerate Christian extremists like Robertson and Falwell?

Admit it Ted, you're a Muslim...

No, Jim, I was raised Christian just like you but I did not vote for Bush twice.
