What is a Muslim? Syllables: Mus-lim Parts of speech:adjective,noun Part of Speech:adjective Definition 1. of or pertaining to the religion, legal codes, peoples, or culture of Islam. Part of Speech:noun Definition 1. one who is an adherent of Islam.

What is a Christian? One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. 2. One who lives according to the teachings of Jesus.

I utilize these two definitions largely due to the fact that both of these religions are currently the most controversial. I find that in definition alone, both these terms are similar, with the only difference here is that one is a follower of Islam, the other is followings of the teachings of Jesus Christ. I believe our society as a whole should be ashamed of the self-made meanings which have been performed with both these religions. Radical Christians want to sit and point fingers at the Muslims and the Radical Muslims point their finger's at the rest of the world which indeed is different from them. Both these religions need to come to the realization that religion can not be shoved down the throats of our society. Times have changed, more people are turning away but not necessarily the entity of "God". More and more people are chosing to worship "God" on their on terms as compared to a religion.

Who are Christians to judge any other religion when they have murdered and maimed throughout our history? The "Crusades" comes to mind. The Christians were so humane during the "Crusades" they utilized children with the half-brained notion that "God" would fight through them. According to history, these poor children were set up for failure largely due to the fact that most died on the journey to the "Holy City" to fight and those that did not die were taken into slavery by the Muslims, this episode alone does not say much about the history of Christians.

Who are the Muslims to judge any other religion? They have greatly became misguided on the teachings of Muhammad. Most people that state that Muslims as a whole are terrorists and that Islam as a whole is violent does not truly understand Islam, most of the chaos which is carried out by the Radical Muslims are primarily "Tribal Laws", these are the laws which permits rape victims to be stoned, women to be forced into marriages when they are as young as nine years old, this is not the teaching of Islam, it's the barbaric tactics utilized by men to keep women oppressed in Muslims countries.

Christianity was no better within it's history. The "Salem Witch Trials" is a great example. This was performed by Christian men who were going town to town wiping out the female populations with the sole excuse, "They are witches". One of the many ignorant tactics utilized to form the decision if a woman was a witch, was by throwing her in deep water, if she drowned, she was not a witch, if she floated, she was a witch, therefore to burn at a stake, very scientific I must say and yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Muslim women are actually afforded rights according to Islam. Unfortunately, women are so suppressed in the majority of the Muslim countries therefore being denied education and are illiterate, they can not even read the Quaran to even truly understand their religious rights. I find that radical Christians do the same thing. Christians are just as brutal in the treatment of women. They begin their teachings on the younger population and drill into their head that Homosexuals are evil, that sex before marriage is evil, I sat once and listened to a preacher in a Southern Baptist church preach about how he would love to kill all homosexuals, I remember grabbing my children and leaving the church. This was very disappointing to me, I haven't entered into a Christian church since that Sunday morning or any other church for that matter.

One would think this to possibly be an isolated incident. It is not, this ludicracy is happening across our country. If you think the Muslim faith is radical as a whole, then try looking at our own religions and studying the history and more than likely, you will discover that your own religion is no better. I would like to suggest this to all the radical Christians as well as radical Muslims, why not join forces and call all your murdering and pillaging "THE JIHAD WITCH TRIALS"! I refuse to believe all Muslims are bad, I refuse to believe all Christians are bad, where I am no longer religous, I still believe in God and I think God is in heaven staring down upon the stupidity which people are performing in his name and thinking to himself/herself "YOU STUPID PEOPLE!"
