Jesus and Muhammod..brother prophets?

Submitted by Danish/American (United States), Feb 18, 2006 at 16:28

My religion is paganism so I may be speaking out of ignorance here. But I have a problem with the statements that Jesus and Muhammod are prophets in the same religion. I have NEVER heard anywhere Jesus telling his followers to kill all infedels or non-believers. I always had the impression that he wanted his followers to love EVERYONE, believers and non-believers.

Now, would someone explain to me how these two can be of the same belief system? I am now curious to know how Jesus is portrayed in the muslim faith. It seems sort of confusing to me to have prophets saying opposite things to followers..
