The scary thing about islam that they are following the Quran to the word (since everyone reads the original) unlike Christian dogma that selectively chooses what parts of the holy book are enforced…
Say stoning, the Old Testament states that adulterers are to be stoned. Do Christians want the Donald duck to be stoned? Jolly goddess no. The Quran states that adulterers are to be whipped, but they also hold the Old Testament sacred so they whip the adulterers before they stone them!
We fear islam because its preaching its 1416 year old message and we find Christianity more acceptable since it isn’t…
Who is the we that finds Christianity acceptable?
As a society, we do?
In hungary and slovakia christian churches are state subsidized aside from the tax exemption they get! And in primary school parents can make the decision whether they want their kids to attend ethics or religious class (which means the local flavor of Christianity). In the US (florida, tampa) there was an afterschool bible study in high school! Could you imagine islam to do any of those?
I have not studied in any other country, but I dare make the assumption that other countries on the northern hemisphere, maybe even latin america is ought to be similar!
