So, I'm actually writing this post just for record. Nothing more really.
Since things like that give me some hope it might turn to be better in the future and also make me feel a little optimistic about our world no matter how bad it looks like in my eyes now.

I was not going to comment about "Burn Koran Day 11th of September" that's held by a church in Florida this month but I changed my mind now in order to compare opposite reactions and interactions with Islam and Muslims by different types of Christians.
Since 9/11, when the majority of people in non Islamic mainly western cultures first heard about something called "Islam" everyone speaks about "Radical Muslims", "Extremist Muslims" and the like due to the active brainwash process carried out by the media promoting this ideas.
I have no idea how they used to perceive Islam and Muslims before this incident but I think it might be just ignorance rather than hatred.
And the question is:
Why doesn't anyone point out to Radical Christians and Radical Hindus and Radical anything else although they do exist in history? No answer.

N.B
Pastor Terry Jones, the Radical Christian, is the leader of the event, for more details google his name or the name of the event.

*First of all, when someone from an English background writes "Koran" instead of "Qur'an" it tells me clearly what type of person they are, only someone who has never read about the Qur'an at first place rather than reading the book itself would write it this way.
*Second, as a Muslim I believe that a true Christian who knows well the real essence of Christianity and all other religions would never support hatred spreading events amongst different groups of people.
I believe Christianity is far more than a group of haters who probably know absolutely nothing about Islam, prophet Muhammad and may be Christianity as well.
So the acts of some Christians don't necessarily represent Christianity and wouldn't change our perspectives regarding it.
Humans make mistakes and misrepresent their beliefs most of the time.
(I know I've said this statement like 100 times before)

So, why isn't it the case when it comes to dealing with Muslims?!
No answer.
No answer.

Ok, let's check out the good news..
Christians are offering Muslims in emergency cases to pray in their churches all around the world, how tolerant and peaceful :)!
Reminds me of a verse in Qur'an:
((And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.)) 22:40 Al Hajj

I'm sure there are many other cases but I only got a couple:
1- Memphis Area Muslims who are coming from 30 different nationalities are worshiping at a Christian Church this Ramadan because their mosque is under construction..
For more details see the link below:
2- In the town of Gallarate, north of Milan, Muslims have no mosque in which to celebrate Ramadan.
Instead, for the past three years, they have prayed in a plot of land belonging to the local church.
