Why are many Christians such hypocrites?

[Sara]

Let me make this clear - I'm not saying ALL Christians but I am say A LOT of them or at least most of the ones I've met here in the midwest.

There is a wave of this status going around on Facebook through my small town. It started as soon as a couple of families of middle eastern descendance moved into our area. People in my small town are writing about how "8% of the world's population of muslims view christians as inferior." followed by a list of muslim stereotypes that are supposedly said by Jeff Foxworthy. People in my hometown are currently saying how the world would be a better place without muslims and their main reason is because "8% of world's population of muslims view christians as inferior."

Isn't that basically saying that muslims are inferior too? to say the world would be better without them? Even the 92% - which is how many more people compared to 8%? So now we have to generalize all muslims as "inhumane" and say they all view christians as "inferior?" Not only is this clearly unfair but hypocritical since we are holding the same attitudes towards the other group as the 8% and I also find it to be hypocritical in the sense that when 9/11 there were a lot of islamophobia through the United States and attacks on muslim people and their place of worship. I'm not saying that 9/11 was a good thing at all and I am very against the extremists in the middle east - I'm saying that a high majority of muslims in the world the 92% believe that their religion doesn't promote violence like jihad but rather peace.

My dad told me at breakfast about the muslims he knew grewing up in Dearborn, MI and said "I didn't like the muslims that were in my school because they all carried this attitude that if you are not like them or believe in their religoin or follow their laws that you are going to hell." and this is coming from a man who says "Gays are going to hell because they don't follow the bible nor fit the bible's lifestyle." - yet another example of hypocrisy.

Why do Christians who feel this way consider themselves stand up Christians - What does the bible say about judging others? how we treat them and views others? How far does the bible permits one to go about spreading the word of God? Even if there is a small population of muslims who are the traditional stereotype, is it even in the Christian's place to have such hatred aimed back at them when after all in the bible, their God is our God because he created us all?

I'd like to point out that I am a Christian, my best friend is a lesbian, and I'm friends with one of the muslim family's son. I don't hold anything against one based on their ethnic group, religion, or sexual perference.

As for the two familes that moved in, it's sad to say that they feel a very hostile enviroment around them because of all of the stares, glares, and things being said. One of the family's houses was vandalized just the other day.
