Hi,
and no other religion has prophets.
Surely you know that this is incorrect!
Judaism has prophets.
Christianity has prophets.
Muhammad, prophect of Islam.
Sikhism, Guru Nanak was a prophet.
Moronism, Joseph Smith was a prophet.
In fact, all theistic religions must have had prophets.
Brian.

Re: Islam is the enemy of all nonMuslims
The more of your posts I read the more ignorance of other faiths I find.
even confuses Mary the mother of Jesus with Miriam the sister of Moses.
Good God man, what is the Hebrew equivalent of the name Mary?
You should treble check everything you say as most of it is inaccurate.

Palestinian Christians
Remember 'Desdamona', she had this idea that all palestinians were evil muslims but changed her tune when this was pointed out to her:
Christianity has a very very long established tradion in Palestine, there used to be many Palestinian Christians, in 1900 17% of the population was Palestinian Christians, this has fell to 2% as Israel has persecuted them.
Look at this article from a Christian source:
Despite this, Palestinian Christians have suffered discriminationand brutalityfrom Israel. Even though the Israeli constitution assures Christians "freedom of religion, conscience, education and culture," they live as second-class citizens. Israel refuses to allow them to serve in its military, and Palestinian Christians have fewer educational and employment opportunities. Also, Israel's troops, in response to suicidal terrorists bombing Israeli citizens, have confiscated land belonging to Palestinian Christians.
I wonder what Faith makes of the way Israel treat(ed) Christians in Palestine.
A double standard anyone?
Brian.

Re: Islam is the enemy of all nonMuslims
Hi,
Unfortunately that applies to you more than it does to me.
Afraid not, and it also applies to Will Durant because this is a common error that some ill-informed Christians imagine is in the Qur'an.
Check it our for yourself, Mary has a Surah (19) named after her.
19-:28 "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.
O sister of Haroun! your father was not a bad man, nor, was your mother an unchaste woman.
The imagine error is caused by certain people taking this literally when it was in fact very common to use this type of language metaphorically.
From HERE
This claim of contradiction is apparently mistaken because it disregards both the Arabic idiom and the context of the verse. In Arabic the word akhun or ukhtun (Underlined with Red colour in the images) carries two meanings.
1. Blood brother or sister and
2. Brotherhood/sisterhood in clan and faith.
The above verse has used the word ukhtun in the second sense. This is not unusual as the Qur'an uses the same idiomatic expression in several earlier verses. In chapter 11 verse 78, Prophet Lot refers to the women folk of his community as my daughters.
There is no contradiction.
The Bible uses this type of language as well:
Luke 1:5 (KJV) THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
How many times was Jesus called the Son of David? Was he literally the son of David.
Your hatred is blinding you to the beauty of this world.
Brian.
PS, Mary is as much a literal sister of Aaron as Buz is a Jew
