What makes Christians more susceptible to attack? Options

[Hartmann]

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.

For me, all the news and some events that have affected me personally now and when I was growing up. Muslims....not so much.

Who bombed and assassinated doctors at abortion clinics?
Who fondled little boys while preaching anti-homosexuality?
Who had gay sex and snorted meth while preaching anti-homosexuality?
Who knocks on my door telling me that jesus is the only way into heaven and that I will burn if I don't accept him?
Who's fault is it that I can't pick up full strength refridgerated beer in so many states and liquor on sundays?
Why isn't safe sex taught practiced in schools/who are giant prononents of abstinence only when it has been proven that it doesn't work?

For me, it's just the personal touch that christians have affected my life. Muslims....not so much.

well that's because you're in the states. if you lived in the middle east, muslims would affect you (being a non-muslim) far more than christians would.

Who bombed and assassinated doctors at abortion clinics?

at least abortion is legal here. do you really think women would have those rights in muslim countries? if they even tried to do that, they'd be stoned or hanged.
furthermore, talking about bombings...2 words, muslim terrorists

Who fondled little boys while preaching anti-homosexuality?
Who had gay sex and snorted meth while preaching anti-homosexuality?

if you were homosexual in a muslim country, not only would your life be hell, you may even be executed (iran)

Who knocks on my door telling me that jesus is the only way into heaven and that I will burn if I don't accept him?

well, if you weren't muslim in muslim country, they may just kill you. they believe they can and should kill non-muslims

Who's fault is it that I can't pick up full strength refridgerated beer in so many states and liquor on sundays?

do you think you can buy alcohol in muslim countries? their alcohol laws are severely more restricted

Why isn't safe sex taught practiced in schools/who are giant proponents of abstinence only when it has been proven that it doesn't work?

do you really think muslim countries teach about safe sex? no freakin way.

you see, when you compare the two, christianity is like living in amsterdam compared to living in a muslim country.

I think dauss's point was that those events tend to rub people the wrong way in terms of liking or disliking Christianity. Sure, things are a lot worse in a lot of muslim countries, but those are a long way from here. Most people are more concerned with what's happening in our own country.
