***** "James, please backup your bold statement that you find Muslims infinitely more Christlike than you find Christians to be." My reply:  " I don't make "bold statements," that is, I do not make the mistake of minding the business of others, what they think. I sometimes share what I have come to understand. You said please, so I will take a moment and share some additional thoughts.  Until several years ago I never thought about Muslims, which means, that I took the Hollywood line, the media of line, which simply replaced what it did to Native Americans and about 60, 70, years ago started doing the same thing to Muslims, demonising them, making them subhuman targets. When I began researching, thinking, observing, and paying attention to my own personal encounters, I arrived in summary at what I shared above. Probably every day I personally encounter a new, for me, Muslim. Regarding this, and the other things I'll share here, I'll share what I understand to be Christ-like characteristics. You are welcome to agree or disagree. This is not a topic on which I intend to debate with you or anyone. Out of courtesy, I am simply replying to your question. In the Muslims I encounter I encounter profound modesty, and humility. Where I would expect to find Western Christian rage at being so savagely terrorized, raped, pillaged, exploited, humiliated, subjugated, raided, looted, destroyed... by the West these decades, I find deep generosity, hurt, peacefulness, acceptance, hurt and forgiveness. When I reflect on history it becomes much more striking to me. It is the Western so called Christians that perpetrated slavery in the Americas, that waged two world wars, that firebombed Dresden, and Tokyo, that delivered colonial terrorism to the Congo, to Vietnam, to Algiers, to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to Yemen, to India, that note to civilian cities in Japan unnecessarily.... It is the West that lives by the sword by any and every objective measure by many many many orders of magnitude. I could go on. Be well friend. One of my heroes is Gandhi and he arrived at the similar conclusion, I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."

All but one in a million of us have learned, in our far too complex, far too large societies, to understand family as something that has to do with biology, and something that we can afford to limit to a small group of people like us.  The only large groups of exceptions that I see are the supposed terrorist populations throughout history, who.......

All but one in a million of us have learned, in our far too complex, far too large societies, to understand family as something that has to do with biology, and something that we can afford to limit to a small group of people like us. 

The only large groups of exceptions that I see are the supposed terrorist populations throughout history, who in fact, are the most godly among us who bear the brunt of our civilised, necessary, understandable, just protecting our loved ones... developed, civilized cultures incessant terrorism. I'm referring to the Hispanics, the Native Americans, the native Africans, the Palestinians, the Muslims... the truly compassionate peoples throughout history.

Jerry Falwell jr., Liberty University President Urges Students To Carry Guns And ‘End Those Muslims’

***** If Muslims are not people of peace then explain to me, why after decades of terrorism and torture at the hands of the West, there are not attacks on Westerners every second of every day? If they were Christians, or Israeli Jews, they would be doing many hundreds of times that. That is the fact. That is the history.
