Modern Christians, whom many claim are terrible and awful people,
don't have even the most radical among them
directing people to crucify non-believers or burn them to death,
or take women as sex slaves who are non-believers, or slit
the throats of non-believers, or tear down mosques and temples.
(maybe that happened hundreds and thousands of year ago)
but even the "evil" Christians have evolved beyond that
and are horrified at what is happening and not one Christian
leader that is as prominent as this Imam is calling for anything
near what this Imam is calling for).
I don't think you've read about all Christians in different parts of the world.
Stop trying to make them saintly just because they are Christians.
They are individuals just like everyone else. Who can choose to follow radicals or not.

You have a reading comprehension problem if you think what I said was trying to make ALL Christians appear saintly.
I do believe I mentioned abortion clinic bombers, and what happened in the middle and dark ages.
Be careful when your "hot" button is pushed and read with comprehension, not anger before you reply
or you make yourself look ..........
Some people write what they mean and aren't expecting the reader to mind read intention, by not
reading with comprehension, you read intention where there was none.

Perhaps you should re-read your own post I responded to.

This very informative article was published just today, and is presently fresh off of the press..
Hating on Muslims, as usual.
This is new?
In AD 642, Alexandria was captured by the Muslim army of Amr ibn al `Aas. Several later Arabic sources describe the library's destruction by the order of Caliph Omar.[38][39] Bar-Hebraeus, writing in the 13th century, quotes Omar as saying to Yaḥyā al-Naḥwī: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them."[40] Later scholars are skeptical of these stories, given the range of time that had passed before they were written down and the political motivations of the various writers.

Different interpretations of Islam are fine etc but Sharia law is quite another thing which most of us don't want to see on our streets if the liberal loves push politically for this step in order to help the world is islam settle happily here ti will be a backwards step. Don't think I am being hard on muslims my family is multi racial and multi religious but with the influx of so many refugees many feel our way of life is possibly under threat.
It doesn't matter you have one guy like the Grand Iraqi Ayatollah voicing his poison, its who quietly listens to his words and carries out his bidding that helps create things like suicide bombers and the explosions the world keeps facing that kill innocent people we should be worried about. Men like him get to young children, especially boys and groom them into very dangerous adults.

Christianity is the same if only you were to actually live by the writings of the bible without cherry picking it.
Christians try to convert non-believers with candy and sweets and getting them dependent on free stuff paid for by other people.
Muslims used clubs and knives and swords and guns and stuff.
In the end it is the same old "team building" nonsense.
My team (church/religion) is bigger than your team.
It seems to be nothing more than a contest like everything else is.

Yes,
There is going to be a big war.
Soon
Ahmad Hassani Baghdadi
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ahmad Hassani Baghdadi (Arabic: السيد احمد الحسني البغدادي) (born 1944) is an Iraqi Twelver Shi'a Marja.
He currently lives in Najaf, Iraq. He is the author of numerous Islamic books.
End of the year 2012 he issued a fatwa that Christianity hat not to be tolerated in Iraq, Christians would have to be forced to convert or to die.
According to the ayatollah, when they can—when circumstance permits it, when they are strong enough—Muslims are obligated to go on the offensive and conquer non-Muslims (a fact to be kept in mind as millions of Muslim “refugees” flood the West).
The Muslim cleric repeatedly yelled at the secularized host who kept interrupting him and protesting that Islam cannot teach such intolerance. At one point, he burst out: “I am the scholar of Islam [al-faqih]. You are just a journalist. Listen to me!”
Expounded Al-Baghdadi:
If they are people of the book [Jews and Christians] we demand of them the jizya—and if they refuse, then we fight them. That is if he is Christian. He has three choices: either convert to Islam, or, if he refuses and wishes to remain Christian, then pay the jizya [and live according to dhimmi rules].
But if they still refuse—then we fight them, and we abduct their women, and destroy their churches—this is Islam!… Come on, learn what Islam is, are you even a Muslim?!
As for the polytheists [Hindus, Buddhists, etc.] we allow them to choose between Islam and war! This is not the opinion of Ahmad al-Husseini al-Baghdadi, but the opinion of all five schools of jurisprudence [four Sunni and one Shia].
