  • I think the phrasing of your question is a little misleading since it implies a genereralisation - I assume that you mean some Christians =) I think that is probably likely in the majority of cases. Ignorance breads fear. I see no reason to fear somebody on the basis of his or her religion other than ignorance.
  • Christians should remember that they were as religious as the muslims once.
  • Christians are inherently hateful and spiteful. The government and corporate media is adding to all that with their Slamophobia
  • No...not completely. Not all Christians are ignorant. I think the fear comes from the distance and the cultural seperation. I mean how well do we really know one another? The media has a lot to do with the fears we have about one another. All they ever show over there are the riots and the flag burnings. Not all Muslims are violent... Many are, but most are not. Just like they have propaganda films over ther showing how Jews drink the blood of young muslim boys... It's sick... but they actually believe its true!
  • I think that could be part of it,and also non acceptance. It is the nature or religion to create fear of other religions,on the basis that their religion is the only true religion,and that other religions are false and a threat to their own religion.This has been going on for centuries.There is no true or right religion.Either they are all right or all wrong.
  • No Christian fear the extremist muslims, not the normal muslims. Im sure the normal muslims fear the christian extremist. Normal muslim and christians dont fear each other.
  • No, Being Christian is not a requirement to fear Muslims. Many Atheists fear them as well.
  • The fear many feel is largely cultivated by leaders and governments who seize power and control populations by cultivating fear. It is a pattern as old as mankind.
  • Not only "Christians." Important note: There are extreme nut-cases in all religions.
  • no it could have something to do with the exteameist muslims blowing themselves up.
  • I think it's the Muslims who fear Christians due to plain ignorance.
  • I'm a Christian and I don't fear Muslims.
  • Undoubtedly some of that. But which westerners ever thought about Islam before, say, the Soviet invasion of Russia? What I fear is the Muslims who teach hate, who danced in the streets with joy on 9/11, who fired literally thousands of rockets into Israel from Gaza, who murdered 100,000ish of their fellow Muslims in Iraq, who will detonate nukes in NY or DC some day.
  • Hmm. I feel that it's not either Christians or Muslims but rather Christian politicians and Muslim politicians who are fearing each other as to lack of understanding.
  • Not all Christians fear Muslims and the Christians who do it don't necessarily fear all Muslims. As to the reasons they do it, they vary from prejudiced ignorance to objective knowledge. "It is true that some Muslim fundamentalists do not allow freedom of speech or thought, deny women equal rights, and promote violence against women, gays, and non-believers. As a person who strongly believes in democratic and Christian values, I agree with Dr. Sultan that violence and the repression of speech and other freedoms are wrong. Nevertheless, I also have very serious concerns about Dr. Sultan's arguments as presented in this video. As with many things, context is everything" Source and further information: http://jesusprinceofpeace.org/articles-arnaldi/a-fear-muslims.htm
  • I have been a Christian for about 14 years and I have never heard this statement from my many Christian friends and family... As a Christian we are to follow the example of Jesus and love our neighbor.I do not fear Muslims, fear Is something that affects our mind of thinking... I see a lot of hate filled rhetoric coming out of Islamic nations toward Israel and America.Islamic nations are not very welcoming to Christians and they have a very hard time worshiping In these nations... The good thing about It Is, there are some Christians In Islamic nations that are preaching In the undergrounds to some people that want to listen to the word of God =)
  • Because too many Christians have heard the following statement: "Not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslims".
  • I'm Christian, yet I do not bomb women and children in the name of my God. I don't seek weapons grade plutonium, plan sneak attacks on busy subways in Spain where people are trapped and have no fighting chance to survive, run planes into buildings which kill people who have never done anything to me, run a dinghy into another country's ships (twice) with explosives, claim that anyone who doesn't believe in my God is an infidel worthy of death, rejoice in the streets at someone else's pain, forced my significant other to be my obedient subject, forced someone to wear what I thought they should wear, make tapes for world-wide broadcast of beheadings, never beheaded anyone, and was never ignorant enough to think that there are 70+ virgins waiting for me when I get to heaven. "Ignorant" is the wrong word. I'm disgusted that the remaining BILLIONS of "peace-loving" Muslims aren't putting an immediate stop to the insanity of the few. They allow it to happen. I have little to go on, other than to think they must be in agreement with these atrocities. Anyone who sucker punches the nations of the world with sneak attacks and leaves people with no possible means of escape is a COWARD.
  • No, they fear them because Islam is a superior religion and they know it. :P
