What made it non friendly? It is just a comparison, there is no harm done.

OT:

he misinterpret everything. he thought that was a debate and insult. but my intention was only sharing of idea and deeply explanation of jesus in the side of koran.

in a tv interview... A guy was asked "what do you think of christianity?"

the guy answered... "i think it's a great idea, when will they put it into practice?"

We can explain Christianity in different ways. I rather not mentioned and contrast it with other religion. We must be friendly.

where's your proof? There's only One way! Jesus Christ - author of salvation!

Yes christianity is not a problem, a lot of gud teachings,
its the so called christians (not all but most of them), who prefer to talk about god, bible, etc.
but seldom tried to walk their talk

I admire the buddhist people, they seem to exemplify the teachings of jesus. very courteous, kind & tolerant to other peoples faith.. A good example of what true christian ought to be

--- Good point... So why are you mocking at Christianity again? You tried to protest against him.. is it because of us, not walking the faith?

“Why are you Christians always sending missionaries overseas? People have their own culture, their own religion, why don’t you just leave them alone?!” This is one of the most common statements we hear as we lecture on college and university campuses throughout the United States and around the world. Students and faculty often jeeringly ask us, “What is so special about Christianity, different from every religion in the world?” To be sure, this is a very significant question; and probably one of the most significant questions that any Christian could ask themselves: what is so special about Jesus Christ?

Our family has a close friend named Lou. Lou grew up in the nation of Thailand and he was a Buddhist for the first 20 years of his life until he met some Christian missionaries who introduced him to Jesus Christ. If you were to ask Lou today, “What is so special about Jesus Christ and Christianity different from every other religion in the world?” Lou would share with you the following story:

“When I was a Buddhist I felt like I was in the middle of a large lake. I was drowning and I didn’t know how to swim. As I struggled to keep my head above water, I looked out towards the shore and saw Buddha walking up to the edge of the lake. I was going under for the third time, when suddenly Buddha began shouting out instructions to me, teaching me how to swim. Buddha shouted, ‘Kick your legs and paddle your arms.’ But then Buddha said, ‘Lou, you must make it to shore by yourself.’ As I desperately struggled to follow the instructions of Buddha, I looked out towards the shore again, but this time I saw Jesus Christ walking towards the edge of the lake. However, Jesus did not stop at the edge of the lake. Jesus dove into the lake and he swam out and rescued me! And once Jesus had brought me safely back to shore, then he taught me how to swim, so that I could go back and rescue others!”

You see, this is the key difference between Christianity and every other religion in the world: Christianity is not a religion! What are religions? Religions are about human attempts to make our lives right with God, through our good works, sacrifices, rituals, and money. However, Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is about God entering human history to graciously save men and women through His Son Jesus Christ. It is only by placing our faith in Jesus Christ and submitting to his Lordship that we will be saved.

A relationship with God will never be found in any religion, because religions only offer swimming lessons to people drowning in the sea of sin. And it doesn’t matter how sincere or devout you are in your religious faith and practice, because the sea of sin is eternally immense. The only hope for men and women drowning in the sea of sin is Jesus Christ. God entered human history in the person of Jesus Christ; he dove into the sea of sin in order to save desperate and drowning people. If you’ll allow him to take you there, he’ll hold you in his loving arms and bring you safely to shore. And after arriving safely to shore, then your swimming lessons begin, so that you can go back and rescue others!

yes yes, its a comparison between two great people. So you think that comparing two religions and making the other one look bad is healthy? well if that's how you interpret it, what else can i do?

look how you reacted to my comment? it does tell something.
