In support of Zohair Rahman

No muslim denies the fact that Islam has some links to Christianity & Judaism, but as a criterion to them. What I mean by criterion is for instance, if a christian says God has begotten a son, Islam will correct it by saying God has nothing to do with a child. Or if someone says God has became man & killed, Islam will say God is above that etc.

To say Muslims are blind followers is not correct, because as a Muslim you have right to ask: why should I be a Muslim? Why must I believe in one & only one God? As against other faith that you must believe that someone died for you, or you are a sinner etc.
