One fourth of world population follow Muhammed (peace be upon him). He is the founder of the greatest civilization on earth. Hitler was a real Christian. He was a German. Germans followed him and paid higher price for his brutal ideals. But some people like you ignore this reality. But reality is there. It is up to you to see or not. I am sure you will post some comments to prove that He was not a Christian but how about Germans who followed his orders? Will you also assume that all Germans at Second World War were not Christians. Europeans had to fight for more than a thousand years to free themselves from rules of Church. How do you explain this? Use your imagination here. History won't help you."

You know, a muslim finger of blame is like a wheel of fortune, where it stops nobody knows. Will you think before you post ? Hilter may have been brought up as a christian and be a christian by name, so technically be a christian, but to be a true christian you have to act like a christian. A rolling blitzkrieg is not very christian. So he was christian by name but not by action. So how many muslims are muslim by name (very loudly at times ) but not by action. Even Mohammad himself was not very muslim at times. Suicide bombers are not muslim by action, OBL is not muslim by action, many imams are not muslim by action (such as Abdu Hamza), the Taleban are not muslims by action, Iran's regime are not muslim by action.

It's not black and white Nuray, although you would like it to be. Germany paid a heavy price for following their leader into WW2. Are you suggesting that such punishment should be exacted on your Muslim brothers hiding behind brutal regimes? You CANNOT have it both ways. Your words twist and turn, but your argument is flawed.
