Peace between Muslims and Christians does not mean that Muslims and Christians have to water-down their beliefs or practice.
Muslims and Christians have to be free to have intellectual disagreements.
However, the two should not insult each other's religions. Nor should they insult each other. They should be respectful and for them to be respectful towards each other is contrary to both religions.
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.
-Quran 16:125
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
-Matthew 5:22
I am sure you Christians know Matthew 5:22 is considered to be the words of Jesus.
Therefore, if according to Jesus "Thou fool" puts you in danger of hell fire and is haraam..... ummm I mean wrong..... how much more so calling a Muslim "stupid" or an "idiot"...
this is nothing more than an appeal to civility and not particularly partisan.
My issue is.... Christianity and Islam... well.... Islam..... Islam is a basis for people to live moral, dignified lives. Christianity, before it became a museum exhibit along with other fossils, once served a similar function. Honestly, Muslims.... have sort of done a good job keeping Islam from dying out..... though the anti-Salafi crowd will be sure to lead Islam down the same path Christianity went and to keep chiseling away at Islam's influence over actual life.
Don't be wimpy and think you can't disagree with each other...... no way do I want to sissify your approach in that way.... and let anyone talk you into that.......
but religion whether Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc. serves as the moral basis for society
and a lot of these Robert Spencer, David Wood types..... are really being used as pawns for an agenda of getting rid of religion.... it is not really Christianity that is driving such things...... it really is the push to eliminate religion........
