That's just what happens when you follow most religions so strictly (yes, that includes Christianity.)

Care to show us where a muslim has been stoned by Christians for "evangelising"? Lets put the past behind us for a moment and look at the now. Ireland not withstanding, where have you known Christians to be violent and intolerant of other religions?

Uhm... The crusades... In the name of God...

History is replete with violence on behalf of Christianity in the name of God.

Unfortunately, while these sorts of gorilla tactics are non-Biblical, non-Christian, they still came in the name of God and gave Christianity a bad rap.

Read my post again. What Christians are NOW behaving in a similar fassion? Where, NOW, do you see Chrisitians stoning people of other faiths? Where NOW do you see Christians persecuting people of other faiths?

As for the crusades, as I understand it, the muslims prompted such a harsh reaction by the RCC when they sought to take over Christian lands and marched north. The crusades began as a means to regain the land that was taken from "Christiandom" by the muslims. While they, the crusades, might be considered an "over-reaction", they were not the convert or kill tactics they have been made to seem.

I have to say, I see it all the time. No, not physical stones. But verbal ones. And they can do as much damage, if not more at times by pushing would be believers away from Christ.

I cannot tell you how many times I have spoken with "Christians" or clergy who have cast the first stone.

A perfect example... my fiance, who has spina bifida, visited a church - an Assembly of God. A member of the clergy told her the reason she was not healed of her affliction is she lacked faith.

While this is mono-en-mono, Christian to Christian, I have seen this sort of behavior between Christians and non-Christians.

I do not feel that this is an appropriate, or Christ-like approach to winning people into the kindom of Heaven.

No, you are right - we do not hear of Christians "stoning" or killing others in the name of Christ any more unless they are a cult of sorts. But the verbal stone throwing still exists and damage is still being done.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I consider the clergy about as Christ-like as these cults you refer to. You know, the ones that dance with snakes. I admit, as long as the world sees the clergy as Christs' representatives, they will have a most notable effect when casting these "verbal stones".

Show me a country where the Christians have control and are strictly following every law in the bible, and I'll show you a country where a Muslim will be stoned for evangelizing

Deuteronomy 13:1-6 tells us

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Notice the part where the person should be put to death. Well, if it were a Christian nation and the laws of the land followed the laws of the bible, it would be perfectly fine for us to stone a Muslim man for trying to convert us to his religion.
