Surely you can see the difference between cutting the beating heart out of a living person and harmlessly worshipping a god in a mosque? If not then this certainly explains why so many terrorists exist within Islam - you clearly have your priorities way off base.

Brother Amr123 explained my reasoning for that statement quite well:

In front of Allah Ta'ala worshiping someone other than HIM is a bigger sin than murder.

but to elaborate further: easter celebrations are shirk, the human sacrifices of the Aztecs were also shirk (and murder). Shirk is shirk, it doesn't matter whether the packaging for it is jahils who believe Isa was more than a man or maniacs cutting out people's hearts; the end result is the same. Muslims would have no problem disallowing human sacrifice in a Masjid*, but when it comes to the shirk of christians some of them have no problem allowing it because it comes in a nicer package.

Additionally, there is no such thing as a "harmless" sin, and a sin on the community level is far worse than one on the individual.

*acknowledging in this case, apparently easter prayers were not held in a Masjid.
