I find it strange when Christian Conservatives post anti-Islamic stuff on their timelines and pages because they follow pretty much the same religion.

Similarities Between Christianity Right And Sharia Islam

Christianity and Islam are? Historically linked to each other. Rather, most of the Sharia Law is derived from Christian scriptures itself. Both are ‘people of the book’ with a slight difference. Christianity and Islam are similar religions. Let’s have a look at the similarities between the two religions: Both of them suggest women must be submissive to their husbands: According to Christianity, women should be submissive to men. Both of them justify marital rape: According to Christianity, a man has every right over her wife’s body and a wife should never deprive her husband of his desires except in a few situations (e.g. when fasting or pregnant).

U.S. Muslims see increased backlash—as in shots fired at mosques—in wake of Paris attack

In a suburb of Austin, Texas, leaders of the Islamic Center of Pflugerville on Monday discovered feces and torn pages of the Quran that had been thrown at the door of the mosque.

Muslim leader Imam Amro was interviewed by WTXL and assured people that in general, no Muslim would retaliate against anyone not wearing modest clothes because it’s none of their business.
