I have a sincere question for everyone. I wondered about this when the original thread was active. I noticed that Sirrahbed and PCB's comments were basically the same but only Sirrahbed's post was quoted and remarked upon. This makes me wonder if sometimes it's the way things are worded? I'm sure it has nothing to do with Muslim or Christianity does it? Do we feel safer attacking/debating christianity because most of us understand it better? Is it just something as simple as one person being able to express themselves more eloquently?

Don't nail me please! I really am curious.
I would also like to say that I LOVE reading anything PCB writes. I find her to be very mature, kind, and gracious so please know that I am only asking why the different reaction.
I think one major difference with PCB's comments were that she didn't go the "don't use drugs and don't be gay" route.

But yes, I feel more comfortable discussing Christianity than Islam, because I grew up going to Christian churches and I've been able to develop my own views about what is in (and what's not in) the Bible. I don't have the same familiarity with Muslim writings and teachings. And frankly, enough people in this country bash Islam without knowing what they're talking about, so I'm not joining in that chorus.

Also, I don't think any of this is about "attacking" Christianity. It's more about pointing out when Christianity is being used to justify something that isn't, in the views of many of us, very "Christian" behavior.
