Members phkrause Posted July 9, 2014 Members Share Posted July 9, 2014 A nation divided by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor Can Christians and Muslims live in peace side by side? The African nation of Nigeria has for years been an experiment in coexistence – and it’s never been easy. Today the nation is believed to be split about 50-50 Christian and Muslim, but numbers are disputed.

Sojourner Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 There is a company in Israel called SodaStream or EcoStream as it is known in some countries. In this company, Jew, Muslim, Christian and Bahai all work together in friendship. If they can do that there, we can do it here also!

M. T. Cross Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 ] Can Christians and Muslims live in peace side by side? No. Never. The reason being is that the overall, blanket philosophy of both groups is that they have THE TRUTH, the REAL TRUTH and that everyone else is wrong. Really if you just look at the two groups separately they can't even live with themselves in peace let alone the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauralea Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Only with converted hearts. 11 The angel of the LORD said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. 12"He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers." 13 Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees"; for she said, "Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?"… Quote Behold what manner of love the Father hath given unto us.

Aliensanctuary Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Too many Muslims are hell-bent on obliterating Israel rather than improving the lives of their countrymen. They'd rather die than live a happy, peaceful life. Walls would come down, friendships would be contagious, and terrorism would be a long-forgotten memory if only Muslims would lay down their weapons and choose peace. They can't, though, because they can't resist the demons within, driving their love of death.

Stan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is a fine line between obliterating Israel and liberating Palestine.. Personally I am a supporter of Israel, and am sympathetic to the plight for freedom that the Palestinian youth desire to get out of the caged cities. Other than living in a pretend world, I know of no solution.

Moderators lazarus Posted July 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2014 Muslims and Christians have been living in peace in many parts of the world. I grew up in one such community. In Northern Ireland Catholics and Protestants were at war for many years. In South Africa there was considerable strife. The USA has seen its share. When fundamental injustice is removed peace can come. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
