Here in San Diego an incident just happened where a Christian and a Muslim were discussing religion in a bar and the Muslim shot the Christian (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31086694 - broken link). Goes to show you, religion and alcohol don't mix.

Just thought it was a pretty crazy story that would not have happened if neither person believed in some crazy fairy tale about a magical man and his special book.

Yep. Never mix religion or politics with drinking.

Yeah, it would never have happened, because people never shoot other people over an argument unless it's about religion. Come on now.

Christians are more friendly to Muslims

The friendship between Christians and Muslims is established on firm foundations; because:
· Both Christians and Muslims believe in God, and that God is One according to the First Commandment.
· Both Christians and Muslims believe in the prophets and apostles of God.
· Both of them believe in Jesus Christ as a prophet and an apostle of God, a respected one among these prophets, and an apostle of high rank.
· The Quran honors Mary, mother of Christ, and describes her as chaste, pious, honest and that she believed in the commandments and Scripture of God, and was obedient to God, Most Gracious, and mentioned her as a excellent example for the world and all nations.
· Muslims believe, as do Christians, in the Torah of Moses and the Books of the prophets.
· and monks, among them, enjoin on them to be merciful to people, and to have tolerance toward Muslims.
· Christians and Muslims believe in the Gospel revealed from God to Jesus Christ.
· The large number of followers, of both these two religions, believe in the advent of Jesus Christ, who will unite them together.
· Christians in general are not proud over listening to the truth: to follow it; and not proud over investigating the affair and matter, to find the truth.
· Muslims, generally, have no rancor or hatred towards Christians; because Christians are more near to them than any other religious sect; and because God said in the Quran, 5: 82
وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مَّوَدَّةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ قَالُوَاْ إِنَّا نَصَارَى ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَانًا وَأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
The explanation:
( And you will surely find the nearest of [people], in love to the believers, those who say 'We are Christians'; that, because some of them are priests and monks, and they wax not proud.)
