That's true, but you're actually wrong in saying that Islam and Christianity's beliefs conflict. These two religions are actually very similar to one another, apart from a handful of things. Consumption of swine and alcohol is prohibited in the Old Testament. Adultery, as I recall, is a sin - sex before marriage is adultery. All these things which are prohibited in Christianity are also prohibited in Islam. There are also many more. The main difference between the two religions is which prophet they believe in: Christianity believe in Jesus. Islam believes that Jesus (Prophet Isa) is a prophet, but that Muhammed is the final prophet.

Though I don't really see the problem if he tweeted that  His personal twitter. |
The person below you has the quote: https://twitter.com/zaynmalik/status/106719144401047552
I think it's really shameful that he has gotten backlash over tweeting about Muslim holidays or tattoos in Arabic, but that one tweet is packed in my opinion. It's just my personal opinion, of course, but I don't see the need for celebrities to tweet about religion in that context. Obviously tweeting about praying, thanking God, etc. is normal, and many people do it.

I'm so annoyed because here we have all this Palestine support, but the US government still supports Israel. 
Very glad this tweet didn't get deleted yet.

I said some people are conflicted about it, but whatever you want to believe, I guess. I've heard some say that it is Middle Eastern and I've heard some say that it isn't. Both had pretty convincing arguments, so I'm neutral for now
And you can express your opinion without being rude. There's no need to say someone is "uneducated" |
This is a matter of fact, not opinion so there is no neutral position or an actual argument...
Pakistan is not part of the Middle East and has no connection to the region except Islamic and Christian conversions... this is the so called 'argument' uneducated people use.
You shouldn't bring other people's so called 'arguments' into this if you're uneducated on the subject...

There are more theological differences between Christianity and Islam than there are similarities. They are like polar opposites.

The whole point is that you watch the video before answering. I'll tell you what its says though. The son of one of Hamas' founders or leaders' forgot which, says he escaped the place because he didn't agree with many of the things they do or believe. Things like not wanting a two state solution just a Muslim state, and beyond that force every country which isn't Muslim into becoming one. We all know they could never do that, but that is their ultimate goal, what they believe in. His own testimony not mine! Besides that he talks about them teaching kids in mosques and schools these things, teaching to hate and if I remember correctly he talks about them using kids as human shields. Sad really. They really have been under decades of oppression, oppression from their horrible many leaders.

lol, they're not polar opposites at all. They're pretty similar.
Conservative right-wing Christians are often Islamophobic, so they'll try and tell people that Islam is completely different to their religion, but it's really not. Of course there are some differences, but Islam is the closest religion out there to Christianity, apart from maybe Judaism.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all Abrahamic religions so it's understandable that they have similarities with each other since they all have the same root. But Judaism and Christianity have more things in common between them than there is between Christianity and Islam. Christianity is the continuation and fulfillment of Judaism. The Jewish Talmud is basically the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Islam is the splinter from Judaism. Muhammad is considered a false prophet in Christianity. He accused the Torah of being corrupt and revised it with his own teachings for which are all rejected in Christianity except those directly taken out from the Bible/Torah.

Good on him. And at least he doesn't chicken out like somebody else we all know. But it's harder to act tough on real matters.

Considering the fact that the Gospel of Barnabas claims that 1. Jesus was not crucified, 2. Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place, 3. Jesus himself is not the son of God and 4. Jesus prophesied the coming of Muhammed - all of which are facts that Islam believes in - I care to disagree. It was also kinda shady of the Vatican to want the copy found in Turkey a while back for approximately $28M asap to analyze it, but no one's heard anything since.
Also, the book dates back to before the Prophet Muhammed was born.
