Honestly, who cares that a guy at my church was just killed while in Cairo because a Muslim detonated a nail bomb near him?
Was this "guy from your church" a missionary? I do not suppose Christians trying to proselytize Muslims in a predominantly Muslim country goes over too well.

Well knowing history, Christians are always going into foreign countries and trying to convert beliefs...When they came here, they did it to the native Americans...In history..It was the Catholic church doing it..
.It's almost like a plague, locusts of preachers...Though they feel its for your eternity's sake.
I don't dislike people who follow a certain religion...and I don't specifically dislike one religion. Personally, I find ALL organized religions to be ridiculous. Sorry, but I dislike religion in general. I have no problem with people who follow these religions, however, until they start trying to shove their beliefs down my throat or expect everyone to abide by their religion's rules.

It is not a justification, but an explanation. Going to a Muslim country and trying to convert Muslims to Christianity is not going to make you many friends.

I'm pretty certain that they weren't witnessing in Cairo...and this reminds me of discussing why Hitler did what he did. We'll come to the verge of justification, almost-but-not-quite saying, "Wow, France and Britain really had it coming to them."
I have a hard time believing that missionaries, whose sole purpose of being in a foreign country is to proselytize, were not witnessing to people while in Cairo. And in predominently Muslim countries, people are not allowed to practice any religion other than Islam in public, and proselytizing is a crime punishable by death. This does not justify their murder, but they should have been aware of the risks involved.

I myself am not a Christian, but I cannot help but wonder as to why there is such an immense prejudice against Christians only.If anyone could possibly explain to me, as to why is Christianity is worse than Islam or Judaism in its ideas, then I would be most grateful.
Most of you who preach tolerance and the fact that there should be no discrimination are the very same people who constantly discriminate and trash Christians - so you're doing the very same thing you're condemning the Christians for. Whys that?
If you are blatantly against organized religion than that does indeed include Judaism and Islam, yet everyone is directly referencing to Christianity. Does, somehow the fact that you are surrounded by Christians give you a Christan-bash-free card? It really doesnt.
So I would like to know, why?
All input welcome.
I dont hate Christianity, but I find that many of its followers have become corrupt to teh point where they think that they are better than any other religion. Just the other day I overheard a devout Christain at my school talking about how Christianity is the only way to heaven. Not to mention the only noticeable religion among the popular crowd at my school is Christianity, and sometimes i cant help but think they get their arrogance from their religion
