a reply to Hassan about his reply to John

Hassan , I really feel bad for you. You are so confused about the whole issue, and so misguided , it will take a long time to answer you and give you some clarity because you refuse to look at the issues with honesty. Instead you are verbalizing what we commonly hear from unopened minds. That is why I have to refer you to much more qualified scholars such as Mark Gabriel , a former imam from Al- Azhar, www.markagabriel.org or Dr.Robert Morey of www.faithdefenders.com .

My two cents worth from www.islamreview.com to compare Jesus and mohammed:

1- mohammed was not predicted to be a prophet by anyone unlike Jesus who was the predicted Messiah.

2- mohammed did not invent or say anything new or told any parable to reveal any hint about what the kingdom of God is all about, unlike Jesus who shared many parables to depict what God is asking of us.

3-mohammed was not sure of his salvation, unlike Jesus who told the thief who was crucified on His right hand side that he will be with Him in Paradise that night.

4- since when was abraham muslum? there was no concept of islam before mohammed.

5-islam has a god who wants you to give up your son for him, Christianity has a God who gave up His Son for you.

6- islam has no concept of loving your enemy, praying for those who persecute you, turning the other cheeck, and to love your neighbor as yourself, instead it is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, take neither jews nor christians as friends for they are evil doers, etc... or you can have sex with you WIVES and women slaves, cut the hand of the thief, etc...very negative and inflammatory remarks. Also calling anybody who is not muslum an infidel. The jews and christians living in the ME are not able to get government jobs and treated like second class and extremely discrimanted against, inlike muslums living in teh west. So since when is that a modernization or advancement of " God's Love". Christ lived an examplary life of Service and Sacrfice for others and to help His fellowman as shown in the example of the Good samaritan Parable. mohammed was a warrior, had multiple wives, beheaded and ordered the murder of almost 600-800 jewish men from koriesh tribe after they surrendered and were promised safety. he then took their wives for himself and his entourage and sold the rest in Syria for Gold, etc..., etc..., etc...

My friend hassan, please for your own well being and salvation go to www.fatherzakaria.com and listen and ask questions and try to understand the true judaism and christianity and our true judeo-christian values with honesty, with an open mind so that you may really know the truth. And as Jesus said the Truth shall set you free.

Also read : "Unveiling islam" by Ergun Caner from www.erguncaner.com . These are two turkish brothers, sons of a turkish imam who are now well know pastors and will be able to guide you to the right path. What you were being taught about Judaism or Christianity is a lie and a fabrication to send you astray, and do you know who is the Master of Lies ?

John
