well I am a christian and personally i am interested in learning about other religions. It doesn't mean I believe any of it but out of curiosity. Well my question is why don't muslims want to learn about christianity? I know a couple of Muslim people and they both said that they have NEVER read the Kron and when I start talking about my religion they want to end it then and there. They have no interest in it at all? That makes me wonder why? If your faith in what you believe is strong then you should not have to worry about learning about other religions unless you have doubt in your own right? Just wondering if anyone knows.

I don't doubt my belief and trust in Yeshua/Jesus. I have no desire or interest to read or learn about any one else claiming to be GOD... they are false. There is ONLY ONE GOD. I consider myself a life long student of The Inspired Word Of GOD. John 14 (Amplified Bible)



6Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Don't steorotype and base anything about religion on any person, group of people, or experience...everyone's unique differ even within the same institution let alone that there are so many branches of any religion. Muslim is an abrahamic religion that came after Christianity so they actually consider Jesus to be a prophet as well, and Jews and Christians to be people of the book worshipping the same God,...only Mohommed was the final profit, whereas Christians are waiting for Jesus to return and Jews are still waiting for a messiah.....There are Muslims educated in christianity and other religions....It's good to learn about other religions regardless of what you believe and you shouldn't feel threatened that it will harm your own beliefs, the fact of the matter is we all share this planet with people who believe all different things, and have different cultures, so it's good and enjoyable to learn about this would we inhabit and the people in it.

How much are you really interedsted in learning about other religions? How much are you really interested in learning about your own faith? Rejection, should not be your focus. Accept from God the Good things of Him, and share also with those others, who do. What the world does not believe, is not your problem. How should be what anyone, does not, believe, be a problem. Surely, what they do believe, has been the obstical. Faith is a way of believeing. Fear is also a way of believeing. People not believeing is not an obstical, their fears are the obstical. You will find such, in any sort of endevourings to find relationship with other people, at all.

I have tried to talk to a Muslim guy also with little success. He has all kinds of viewpoints about Christianity and has never read our Bible. They are taught many things about Christianity, yet, few do very little research if any to learn about it. It's hard to judge them though, most people value what their cultures say is acceptable and what is not. The people who choose to follow Jesus suffer hardcore persecutions. I wish they would show this stuff in the news. They could be rejected be their families or even killed. The are generally brought up with negative comments about Christians...etc... Even if they have no personal experience with Christians, they already have a viewpoint formed that may be difficult to get out of.

Its not really good to judge a large group of people based on a few you know, I'm sure theres muslims that enjoy hearing about our faith as I enjoy learning about there..To answer your question Muslims(and really anyone) tend not to like people trying to convert them, Conversion its punished by death in some middle eastern countries to convert from Islam or to convert someone.and there culture has always looked down on Christianity, tending to judge christians on the actions of the general American people, and culture, as seen in our movies tv internet etc. Thats really my best guess at the subject matter, hard to group everyone and tell there reasons, could vary from person to person.

I tend to study religions quite a bit myself, I enjoy to learn about other christian denominations, along with other faiths, though I am no way thinking about ever leaving the christian faith.

Well... some people don't have the equal interest in world religions that you have. Maybe a person is just a history buff, or enjoys knitting.



Pushy religions are also hard to want to know about... I have no desire to learn at any great length about yours *or* theirs..both religions that push people to "learn about it"...

First of all, you can't say all Muslims are like that based on two people you know. That's just silly.



Secondly, they probably assume you're trying to convert them or something when you speak about your religion. Let the know this is not the case.



If they are still bothered, then just drop it. It's not their cup of tea.

If you wish to learn more about religion, first find out why you ought to reject all of them. Become a Bible scholar, and read things by peer reviewed researchers, like this guy. Here's a paragraph or two from one of his books.



“Jesus Has No History

“No Primary Source (First-Person) Accounts of Jesus Exist

“No historians of the time mention Jesus. Suetonius (65-135) does not. Pliny the Younger only mentions Christians (Paulists) with no comment of Jesus himself.

“Tacitus mentions a Jesus, but it is likely that after a century of Christian preaching Tacitus was just reacting to these rumors, or probably talking about one of the many other Messiah's of the time. Josephus, a methodical, accurate and dedicated historian of the time mentions John the Baptist, Herod, Pilate and many aspects of Jewish life but does not mention Jesus.

“(The Testimonium Flavianum has been shown to be a third century Christian fraud).

“He once mentions a Jesus, but gives no information other than that he is a brother of a James.

“Jesus was not an unusual name, either. Justus, another Jewish historian who lived in Tiberias (near Kapernaum, a place Jesus frequented) did not mention Jesus nor any of his miracles.

“It is only in the evidence of later writers, writing about earlier times, that we find a Jesus.

“What is more surprising (Jesus could simply have been unknown to local historians) is that academics note that the GOSPELS THEMSELVES do not allude to first-hand historical sources, either!

“The four Gospels that eventually made it into the New Testament, for example, are all anonymous, written in the third person ABOUT Jesus and his companions.



“None of them contains a first-person narrative ("One day, when Jesus and I went into Capernaum..."), or claims to be written by an eyewitness or companion of an eyewitness.



“Why then do we call them Matthew, Mark, Luke and John?



“Because sometime in the second century, when proto-orthodox Christians recognized the need for APOSTLIC authorities, they attributed these books to apostles (Matthew and John) and close companions of apostles (Mark, the secretary of Peter; and Luke, the “travelling companion of Paul). Most scholars today have abandoned these identifications, and recognize that the books were written by otherwise unknown but relatively well-educated Greek-speaking (and writing) Christians during the second half of the first century.”



Find out where all those bible stories came from... Adam and Eve comes from Sumer and Babylon, the idea of heaven parallels The Valley of Reeds, which is Egyptian, Judgment day is the same as Weighing of the Heart, also Egyptian. It goes on and on and on.... people who lived near the Tribe of Israel, not only swapped wives, goods and food, they swapped stories as well.



And for sure read, "The Book your Church Doesn't Want You to Read", by T. Leedom... all these at your library.

When i am going as much as bat, i seem on the pitcher's glove. The cause for that is to hold targeted however extra importantly, it is helping you are expecting the pitch. For me, the extra the pitcher messes with the ball, the extra complex hes making it. A immediately up pitch will effect within the pitcher retaining the ball nonetheless the whole circular up. Just keep targeted at the hand after which to the ball whilst its published. AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH

How do you knkow they don't want to learn about other religions? I think you are making a generalization based on a few isolated people. This is a mistake to me.
2010-05-24 18:05:28 UTC
The only thing you can learn from religion is....

There is a lot of them.

They can't all be right.

Statistically they are ALL more likely to be wrong than ONE likely be right.

So... I'm an atheist.

It's always a good idea to research any topic that contains many different points of view. I think it's just better to be informed so that no one can use their version of the truth to indoctrinate those seeking enlightenment.

All religion is nothing more than foolish man made superstition.

It's all nonsense. We know more about our origins and the origins of the universe than any bronze age goat herder ever could.



Your beliefs= bullsh*t

Islam = bullsh*t

the muslim holy book is not called the kron.



and most christian's idea of 'talking about their religion' is converting someone.

You'll find among Muslims the most horrible distortion of facts perpetrated by their Imams. I never knew it happened until my brother returned from Iraq and told me about it.
2010-05-24 17:59:54 UTC
What exactly have you learned from other religions?
2010-05-24 18:01:25 UTC
Many people are afraid to have their worldview challenged.

Ha. You can't convert everybody.
