[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [b]First of all I do not believe that Christians criticize Islam because of the hijab. Christians, for the most part, do not understand Islam and know very little about it. (Keep in mind that I am speaking from an American standpoint. ) I personally have never heard anyone here criticize the hijab. I have heard criticisms of the face covering which I have my own share of criticisms for and I do not believe this is a criticism of Islam.[/b] Well that depends on the situation and location. The main critisism of Islam by Christians stems from the Intolerance in many Muslim Countries esp. of Christians, while Muslims in the West Expect Christians to accept them with open arms. This is why many Christians don't Trust Islam because they will be your friend until they become a majority then they will demand Islamic rights and persecute non Muslims. Also in the West no matter how Neo-Athiest claim, Our Nations were founded on Christian Values, its in the Arch. the Education, the legacy and the European Identity. My question would be how would Muslims feel if a Bunch of Christians from Europe and America Emigrated to Arabia, Yemen, Sudan and started having a bunch of Fundamental Christian Children, started demanding Christian Rights but were persecuting Muslims back home. Would Muslims NOT be Angry, skeptical, and un Trust worthy of these Christian Emigrants. [b]agreed, but as you say many don't understand Islam and the only thing they 'see' is the 'oppression' of women by covering them up. Shah has rightly pointed out that orthodox Christians and nuns are also covered up but there is that invisible barrier to understanding that many Christians do not want to cross. It's not just the hijab, it's the beard, the dress, the staying home, many things. A jew wears a beard for his faith, a muslim wears a beard he is a terrorist. A Christian woman stays home to care for the home and children she is a good woman, a muslim woman doing the same is oppressed. A nun covers head to toe for her love of God, a muslimah doing the same is oppressed. lots of those double standards propogated by people like vwvwv.[/b] Actually the biggest critics of Islam by Christians understand Islam very well. If you pay attention the biggest Critisism of Islamic opression of Women is the fact that Wifes are allowed to be beaten in Islam. The Biggest Complaint of Islam is the opression of Non-Muslims mainly Christians in Muslim lands. Ayesha worte: [b]Paul was not a disciple. I was asking for an explanation for that, it was not an attack, just explain why the double standard. Why is it ok and accepted for you to follow who was an enemy of Jesus while he was alive while at the same time you attack who I consider to be a prophet?[/b] You don't understand Paul, so you accuse him of being opposed to Jesus, the thing is yes he persecuted Christians but he was forgiven and turned his life around. If not for Paul alot of the Laws that were a burden to the Early Church and the Jews would still be in effect. If we put Pauls Record against Muhammed, I don't think it would be hard to see who was leading folks down the wrong track. Considering Muhammed's blatant lying, contradictions, murdering of infedels, robbing and stealing of traders on trade routes etc. As Christ Said, You will know them by their works. [/QB][/QUOTE]
