Why is it that Christians have to bash Islam? Reading this study guide of Islam for Christians. Just to see how some Christians view us. It states Christians should pray for Muslims to be delivered from the bondage of Islam. It also stated how Ramadan is fasting, but different from how Jesus suggests. If we are trying to build a bridge, why would you try to make Christianity seem superior to Islam, instead of looking at the similarities?
I totally understand your frustration — it’s really hard when you want peaceful dialogue but instead see negativity or misunderstanding. Unfortunately, some people come from a place of fear or ignorance, so they focus on differences and try to prove their own faith is “better” rather than building mutual respect.
Islam teaches us to respond with kindness and patience. The Qur’an says:
When some Christians speak harshly about Islam, it’s often because they don’t fully understand it or have been taught to see it as a threat. But many Christians and Muslims do work together respectfully, focusing on shared values like charity, compassion, and worship of one God.
Ramadan and Christian fasting may have differences, but both are spiritual practices meant to draw believers closer to God. Instead of competition, seeing these similarities can help build bridges.
In the end, true interfaith dialogue means listening with open hearts and respecting each other’s faith journeys. It’s okay to feel hurt, but remember: your example of good character and knowledge can help change minds more than arguments ever will.
