I read this message board and a few others and there are outright attacks on Christians (not so much here) with things like "crazy faith" and rude remarks being made towards the faith and the people who believe.

On these same message boards, neither the Muslim faith nor the jihadi movement are attacked or even mentioned.

My question is, why the disconnect? If Christians are so crazy in thinking there will be an "end times" why aren't the Muslims in thinking that all who do not believe should die (oddly enough, Christians don't believe this).

I'd like to keep this as clean and friendly as possible. Please no "Christians are dumb", etc.

It's because we live in America.
According to wiki, 80% are Christian (or identify themselves as Christian) while 5% of other religions (including Muslim, Jews, Buddhists, etc...) when you have that much difference in percentage of religious beliefs it's natural to attack the one where 4/5 belong to...

You forget the fact that we non-believers are going to be damned to hell for all of eternity (Muslim/Christian doctrine). I guess thank you Christians for being reasonable for my 70+ years on Earth and unreasonable for infinite years after that...

For that reason alone, all religions are the same to at least me (don't want to generalize for all non-believers). "If you don't believe in [X] something bad will happen to you for a really long time..."
