What do Muslims think of Jesus? It’s a question Dr. Sabeel Ahmed said he gets often.
To help educate people on the significance of Jesus in Islam, Ahmed’s group, The Humanitarians, a Muslim interfaith organization, is launching a monthlong campaign that includes billboards along high-trafficked areas in Arizona along with radio ads.
Ahmed, the group’s founder and outreach coordinator, said the intent is to highlight similarities between Islam and Christianity and bring people together during the holidays.
“We want to educate people on who we (Muslims) are and who we are not and show people that there are more similarities between the faiths than differences,” Ahmed said Tuesday during a news conference at the Islamic Community Center of Tempe.
Ahmed said Muslims recognize Jesus as one of Allah’s prophets. His mission, Ahmed said, was to invite people to worship God.
Note that since Christians regard Jesus as the Son of God, Muslims regard them as guilty of shirk, or polytheism, which for Muslims is the worst possible sin — or as some preachers, such as Nassim Abdi of Sydney have put it, is “worse than any sin.” I doubt that Ahmed will be telling his Christian audiences about why Muslims consider them guilty of shirk.
He said there are six articles of faith in Islam that include believing in all of God’s prophets. That includes Jesus, he said.
“If you don’t believe in Jesus, then you cannot be Muslim,” he said.
But the Muslim belief in Jesus as one more of the prophets in Islam — there are 124,000 prophets, according to Muhammad himself, though Jesus is the most revered prophet after Muhammad — has nothing to do with, and stands in opposition to, the Christian belief in Jesus as the Son of God. For as Sabeel Ahmed carefully does not tell his audiences, if you believe in Jesus as divine, “then you cannot be Muslim,” and you are, as noted above, guilty of “shirk,” which is “worse than any sin.” This is an ideological abyss that Sabeel Ahmed hopes his Christian friends won’t notice.
Muslims, like Christians, believe Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, Ahmed said. They believe there is a creator and a higher power. Muslims also believe there is an afterlife and that people are accountable to God for their actions on earth.
Muslims are monotheists, and believe in an afterlife. This we are endlessly told by Islamic apologists. But what Sabeel Ahmed leaves out is the nature of that afterlife, and of how a Muslim can best achieve entry into Heaven, which is a very different place from the Christian Heaven. The Muslim Heaven is a sensual paradise with 72 virgins. And the surest way to enter it and enjoy its delights is to be a martyr, or shahid, dying while conducting violent Jihad against the Unbelievers. That is not information Sabeel Ahmed wishes to share with his audiences of trusting and unwary Christians.
Ahmed said Jesus is mentioned 25 times in the Quran, and that Mary, who is mentioned in the Quran 32 times, is the only woman mentioned by name in the religious text.
Again, the Muslim Mary (Maryam) is very different from the Christian Mary. She is revered; she has Sura 19 named after her; she is mentioned 32 times in the Qur’an –all of this is a staple of Muslim propaganda, that is used to impress Christians, and to conceal the basic difference: in Islam, Mary, no matter how revered, is not the mother of the Son of God.
There are more miracles related to Jesus in the Quran than there are in the Bible, Ahmed said.
More Taqiyya to keep us from focusing on the essential difference between Islam and Christianity. Jesus may in Islam be responsible for some miracles, but that does not make him divine, or the Son of God. He was appropriated by the early Muslims, downgraded to being a mortal man and a prophet. To worship him as the Son of God is inadmissible shirk.
The Arizona chapter of The Humanitarians bought two billboards on Interstate 10 — one near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and another in Tucson near Prince Road.
The billboards, which Ahmed said cost $10,000, state in bold, white letters three Islamic beliefs about Jesus: Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary; he is honorable and blessed; and God supported Jesus with the Holy Spirit.
The billboards were unveiled last week and will be up for a month, Ahmed said.
What do you think would happen if some group of Islamocritics tried to rent billboards which simply read as follows:
Qur’an 3:110: “Muslims are the best of peoples.”
Qur’an 98:6: “Non-Muslims are the most vile of created beings.”
Qur’an 5:51: “O you who believe! Do not take Jews and Christians as friends, for they are friends only with each other.”
Qur’an 8:12: “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”
In the hadith of Bukhari (4.52.220), Muhammad claims: “I have been made victorious through terror.”
Nothing here is made up; everything is quoted just as it is written in the Qur’an and, in the last example, recorded in the “reliable” (Sahih) hadith of Bukhari.
Despite the absolute fidelity to its sources in the Islamic texts, is there anyplace in this country where such a billboard could be put up? No. Truth is no defense, when it comes to protecting the image of Islam. Free speech does not matter. Anyone who selects such verses is clearly trying to place Islam in a bad light. It isn’t fair, it isn’t right, it’s Islamophobia. No such billboards will ever be seen.
janwog says
Isa (Jesus?) of the Quran is not son of God and has not died on the cross to save the world. At the day of judgement, Isa will be assistant of the Mahdi and will confirm Islam is the true religion. Isa and Yeshua are not the same person and Islam is the antinomy of Christianity.
Elisha says
It is very easy to call out muslims on islamic folly. sura 4:157 implies that Jesus “appeared to be crucified”, ie “He was substituted”. Therefore, two things:
1. “allah” intentionally started Christianity, that according to the quran is “false”, by deceiving people into believing Jesus was crucified. This is utterly nonsensical.
2. To suggest “Jesus was substituted” implies that He was guilty of a crime. They CANNOT deny this. What was His “crime”? I’m so glad you asked … BLASPHEMY!
For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself EQUAL WITH GOD. – John 5:18
The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, BEING A MAN, MAKE YOURSELF OUT TO BE GOD.” – John 10:33
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law HE OUGHT TO DIE BECAUSE HE MADE HIMSELF OUT TO BE THE SON OF GOD.” – John 19:7
The Pharisees understood He was calling Himself God, why can’t they understand this as well? Probably because they’re too afraid to read the Bible (sura 5:101-102).
Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.” Tearing his clothes, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? “YOU HAVE HEARD THE BLASPHEMY; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be DESERVING OF DEATH. – Mark 14:61-64
The Jews KNEW that ONLY God rides upon the clouds, THAT is why they killed Him! It’s ALL OVER the Old Testament!
“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. – Daniel 7:13
The Son (Jesus Christ) came up to the Ancient of Days (the Father). The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD IS RIDING ON A SWIFT CLOUD and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. – Isaiah 19:1
He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; HE MAKES THE CLOUD HIS CHARIOT; He walks upon the wings of the wind. – Psalm 104:3
“Behold, he goes up like clouds, And his chariots like the whirlwind; His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!” – Jeremiah 4:13
Jesus says He EXISTED before the world began. Until muslims understand the nature of God existing as three persons, they will understand nothing.
Jesus Says here He is God “I AM”, just like He did when He said He EXISTED before the world. Only God can claim this:
Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’ – Exodus 3:13-15
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” – John 8:56-58
Jesus has TWO natures: FULLY human and FULLY God:
In the beginning was the Word, and THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men … AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:1-4,14
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD, BUT MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, TAKING THE FORM OF A BONDSERVANT, AND COMING IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN. AND BEING FOUND IN THE APPEARANCE AS A MAN, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:5-11
Old Testament:
Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. – Genesis 19:24 [the Lord (Jesus Christ) from the Lord (the Father)]
And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” – Zechariah 12:10 [The first sentence is God the Son Jesus speaking about the Holy Spirit and His future crucifixion. The second sentence is God the Father speaking about His Son after the realization that He is the Messiah!]
The Trinity in the FIRST LINE: Holy Spirit, Father and Son!
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound” – Isaiah 61:1
The Belief in Jesus as God before Nicea – Dr Michael Heiser

This “checkmate” question from Jesus:
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’? [Psalm 110:1]
If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore. – Matthew 22:41-46
Game. Set. Match.
mortimer says
A TOTAL SHAM and CHARADE. Muslims HATE and DESPISE the Jesus of the New Testament, but most have not read the New Testament and know virtually nothing about the New Testament including the NAME ‘New Testament’.
The one QUESTION that destroys the Islamic position on Jesus is ‘WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED?’ The Koran has no answer to this question, but logically, Muslims must come to terms with it.
The New Testament and non-Christian sources confirm that Jesus was crucified for BLASPHEMY (claiming to be God) and for claiming to be a king. The historical Jesus is an insuperable problem for Islam.
The way Muslims take around this problem is to IGNORE THE QUESTION: ‘WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED?’
Once Muslims approach this question, their Islamic faith comes under fire.
Wellington says
Isn’t all this about Jesus, mortimer, a classic example of kitman, whereby the Muslim tells the Christian part of the “story” but leaves much of the “story” not mentioned?
mortimer says
Dear Mr. W.,
A number of serious Islamology scholars and apologists have suggested that the ERRORS OF HISTORICAL FACT in the Koran are due to crafty JEWISH and CHRISTIAN INFORMANTS (slaves of Mohammed?) who deliberately MISINFORMED Mohammed about the contents of the OT and NT. They did so in order to humiliate him when he presented his false ‘revelations’, so that people would laugh Mohammed out of town. This is EXACTLY what happened as the Koran records … MOHAMMED WAS LAUGHED RIGHT OUT OF MECCA and the SECOND HALF of the Koran could be subtitled ‘MOHAMMED’S REVENGE’ or also ‘NO MORE MR. NICE GUY’.
Mohammed probably thought his FANTASIES about ‘ISA’, Alexander the Great, Moses and other historical figures were ACCURATE depictions… since his crafty INFORMANTS were so convincing in persuading him to include these nonsense versions in his pseudo-revelations.
Imho, the Koran’s ‘ISA’ is an example of a MORONIC misapprehension of the hearsay plagiarized by Mohammed, the illiterate, and then presented by him as FACT. Mohammed was CLUELESS about the New Testament. The Koranic ‘ISA’ is a concoction of half-understood folk tales… the story of a great historic figure AS TOLD by the THREE STOOGES in their knucklehead manner.
The paranoid DISTORTIONS concerning ‘ISA’ in the Koran have less to do with INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION than they have to do with a feverish FANTASY by an unmedicated mental patient, Mohammed. It is very likely that Mohammed was touched by more than one mental illness… the likelihood of his TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY has been discussed by a number of medical doctors who have written books and papers on Mohammed’s likely mental illnesses as well as his physical illnesses.

Mirren10 says
The Jesus of the Quran is the same character, but not the same person. He doesn’t say the same things, nor does he do much except refute Christian beliefs and affirm Muhammad’s claims about himself. He is a character of convenience.
The Quran agrees with the Bible about the virgin birth of Jesus (and his return), but not his resurrection. In fact, it even denies that he was crucified, which runs counter to all historical evidence. In the Islamic version, Jesus was taken to heaven and will return to “destroy the cross” and all religions other than Islam. (from the ReligionofPeace website).
Kepha says
The Qur’an and Bible also disagree about Jesus’ atoning death on the cross, the latter affirming it happened. Further, Jesus himself claimed divine status, as in his healing of the paralytic in Mark 2 and “Before Abraham was, I AM” (Jn. 8).
Wellington says
But how do you know, Kepha, that this is what Jesus said or what those decades later writing about him said he said?
Even assuming Jesus was (is) who you think he was, why didn’t he grasp that reasonable minds, with no ill intent, could have quite legitimate doubts and come to conclusions about him that, say, Thomas Jefferson did? And yet Jesus threatened many times eternal damnation, per the Gospels, if what he said one rejected. Your turn.
b.a. freeman says
Wellington, if i see U walking near the edge of a cliff wearing a blindfold, and i warn U that U will fall to your death if U don’t take the blindfold off, does that make me a monster for saying that U will die? Jesus just warns us that there is only one way out of this place, and offers that way out at no cost other than the use of the rest of your life here. if U believe Him, then U are exchanging a finite amount of time for an *infinite* amount of time (or rather, an escape from time, which will have ended), which is essentially no cost at all. if U don’t believe Him, then U see no cost, and U are free to spend your life here as U see fit. He indeed grasps our objections, because He is *infinite* in every respect, and infinities do *really* strange things.
regardless of that, aren’t we here to figure out ways to eliminate islam from the world? religious and political discussions are great fun, but this might not be the best place to discuss christianity. those who misunderstand christianity and think they have to kill a ____ for Jesus aren’t the problem; rather, those who *understand* islam and *believe* what it teaches are the problem these days. and as a christian, part of my mission, as assigned by Him, is to try to reach the victims of the mind disease of islam (the ummah). in fact, it would appear that the evil collusion between the left and islam will be the end of civilization, and it very well may be that *ONLY* God can pull us out of this nose dive.

Walter Sieruk says
The Muslims who tell Christians that they “revere and love Jesus too…” might well have wonderful religious emotions towards Jesus ,at least strong pious feeling for the Islamic version of Jesus. Nevertheless , as the reader in informed in the Bible in the epistle of Romans 10 2,3, its very possible for people to “have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge…” [N.K.J.V.] There they are in spite of their religious feeling such people are very “ignorant of God ‘s rightness…”
For the Muslim version of Jesus isn’t the Bible based real Jesus of the Bible but a Quran based Islamic Jesus ” who is only a prophet and nothing more. Therefore, the sad and tragic reality is .Muslim are now some of of those people who have a “zeal for God but according to knowledge…”
As in the knowledge sen in the Light of the Bible to understand and then even know the actual Jesus of the Bible.
For the way for a person to discover the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15. Moreover to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew 1:8 and First John 5:20. The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14;6.

eduardo odraude says
Excellent piece by Mr. Fitzgerald.
When one brings up disturbing facts about Islam, one must also have a constitutional, non-violent solution. Otherwise we will naturally run into a brick wall.
It is not enough, not by a long shot, to point out that the core Islamic texts contain a uniquely totalitarian program, that Muhammad recognized no distinction between religion and state, that Muslim-majority nations on the whole have frightful human rights records, that Pew polls show large numbers of Muslims support totalitarian aspects of Islamic law. It is not enough to point all that out. Because the opposition thinks, and very often asks, “so what’s your solution? kill them all?” The assumption made by many on the left is that we have no solution except the fascist one of “killing them all” or some other brutal solution. Here’s my proposal for a solution that could pass constitutional muster, because the policy does not focus on any religious or ethnic group:
The US should institute, with exceptions for some individuals, a moratorium on immigration from nations that do not protect freedom of religion or freedom of speech. This would affect many nations besides the Muslim-majority ones, and it probably would not exclude every Muslim majority nation. China would tend to be excluded (but not Taiwan, Japan, or South Korea). The policy would also pressure European nations to stop clamping down on freedom of speech. In response to such a policy, something like a First Amendment might come into being in some European nations.
There could be exceptions to the rule, for example Ph.D.s needed by US industry or the military could be considered, as could people from oppressed minorities that support freedom of religion and speech.
You say the above policy is politically impossible? Right now, that’s true. But we must have a non-violent constitutional policy to meet the challenge we see. Otherwise defeat may be inevitable.
gravenimage says
Generally agree, Eduardo. I also run into this all the time–that if dare admit that Islam is violent and totalitarian, that we have no alternative besides mass murder. This is, of course, absurd projection–pointing out that a creed is murderous is not itself a call for violence.
But I do believe that this is a major reason why many otherwise decent people remain in stubborn denial over the threat of Islam–because they think if they admit it that they will have to become violent themselves.
The only issue with your solution is that most Westerners believe that everyone who wants to leave countries with no freedom of religion and speech do so because they desperately revere and desire these freedoms themselves.
In many cases historically this has actually been true–note refugees from Fascism and Communism.
Grimly, though, it is seldom true of Muslims, who instead want to impose that crushing of freedom *on us*–often violently.
I definitely agree that we need to stop Muslim immigration. Trump has tried this in part, with little success so far–but we are also seeing action in the Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and now in Italy and even the Netherlands. I’m glad to see it.
Or Else! says
We’ve got to grow out of rigid adherence to mythology–especially a mythology that depends upon fear/terror to obtain/maintain supremacy.
Elisha says
Exactly. Seeking truth presupposes earnestness, courage and humility (Proverbs 14:6). The Bible is historically, prophetically and scientifically consistent. Get cracking! (Jeremiah 29:13).
Walter Sieruk says
Many Muslims might indeed have strong pious emotions and religious favorable feeling for the Islamic Jesus yet denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness. Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known.
First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5 Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20.
Moreover, to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise , by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth , that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians ,through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does. This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men.
In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. So all dear Muslims are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven ,John 14:6. and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.

“He spake “Lo!I am the slave of allah.he hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a prophet”

Christians don’t believe Jesus could speak as a baby:they also don’t believe God is divided into parts{what,is God a cake??},that Mary has anything to do with the Trinity{haha} or that God has companions:that is an EPIC THEOLOGY fail by allah.
That ERROR comes from allah himself.
“Cease!Say not “three”.It is better for you” says allah the theologically challenged god of islam in koran 4:171{a consequence of this is that allah does not know what God’s Holy Spirit of Wisdom is or..where Prophecy comes from see 2Peter1 v 20-21.allah’s misunderstanding of the Theology is very much a HUMAN error:allah even claims to have written the Gospel{himself}in which the Theology of the Trinity is clearly explained.WHY bring it up in the first place in that Gospel only to deny it in the koran?Because allah’s claim to be the author of the Bible is FALSE..}
This LIE of the TALKING NEWBORN BABY JESUS IN A CRIB, is used by the dawa folk to promote the falsehood that Jesus was a prophet of allah:kindly note that 1.New born infants don’t speak{not even Jesus} and 2 Jesus has the “scripture”;WHEN DID JESUS EVER HAVE A COPY OF THE GOSPEL?Think about it…
“WE bestowed on {Jesus} the Gospel” koran 5 v 46
The Gospel did not EXIST during the lifetime of Christ:It came AFTER and besides it was written by humans,not by God.Yet allah thinks he wrote it himself and gave it to Jesus.Jesus did not have a copy of the Gospel…
AN OBVIOUS FALSEHOOD!
Jesus the Jew
———————
Jesus was a Jew {John 4 v 22}”We Jews know whom we worship for it is from the Jews that salvation comes”,a fact which the antisemitic allah completely missed{along with the 2 chief commandments and the ability to understand the theology behind the Trinity,revealed in that book that allah says he wrote{the Gospel} but completely denied in the koran}
The essential role given by God to the Jews as prophets is of course dismissed by allah who thinks{laughably}that all those JEWISH prophets were….muslim.
And what does the unholy koran say about the Jews?koran 2:87,koran 9:30.
The koran CURSES Jews and Christians.
The koran teaches,contrary to both the 2nd chief commandment{found in Judaism and Christianity,missing in islam}and the Golden Rule..
“Oh ye who believe! Take not the Jews and christians for friends”
koran 5 v 51
This is because muslims,despite their false piety and wilful ignorance and endless koranically-inspired disobedience to the Actual God’s Exodus 20 Commandments,are the holiest people in the World,”the best community”{koran 3;110}
Why bother with God’s 2 chief commandments when allah preaches the OPPOSITE?
Instead of “Let’s TRY to get along” its “Let’s NOT TRY to get along”.
Terry Gain says
Muslims in fact blaspheme Jesus. Firstly they claim that He is not God. Secondly, they claim Jesus never said He was God. Thirdly, they mock the idea of a Trinity. Fourthly, they claim Christ faked his death (with help of Allah – thus blaspheming both Christ and Allah). And finally, they claim Christ is a prophet of Islam, an ideology which is the antithesis of Christianity.
Good grief, if Christ had had a choice between Islam and atheism, I have no doubt He would have chosen atheism.
Muslims are the world’s worst liars and Islam is totally incoherent as a religion. It is however a first rate conquest ideology.
Elisha says
Terry, you/we ALL have a choice between God’s righteousness and self-righteousness. Seeking truth presupposes earnestness, courage and humility (Proverbs 14:6). Jesus Christ chose to obey the will of His Father and be the propitiation for sin, as prophesied in the Bible from Genesis 3 onwards. It is blasphemous to suggest Jesus is not God in the flesh (1 John 2:22). Unbelief is sin (Hebrews 3:12).

This is true, Terry–but is even uglier than this implies. As Islam has it, he didn’t just fake his death; he compelled some poor victim to die nameless in his place. This doesn’t just mean that Jesus did not die on the cross; this makes the Islamic “Jesus” a coward and vicious monster.
somehistory says
Jesus Christ, Perfect Person, Prophet, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Mediator, and Only Begotten Son of God the Father, came to earth to teach, to set an example for humans to follow, to explain the things people needed to know about His Father, to die as a Savior and to be Resurrected to Spirit life again and return to His Father in Heaven, to sit beside Him on a glorious throne.
moslims deny all about Jesus Christ that is true, and fabricate lies to entrap and conquer any who are naive enough to listen to them. moslims do not know Jesus Christ and don’t want anyone else to know Him.
moslims stoop as far down as they are able…and it’s pretty cotton-picking low…to deceive, to steal, kill and destroy all that is good. No one should listen to them. They don’t know Christ Jesus. Therefore, they cannot tell about Him or believe in Him.
ntesdorf says
In Biblical times Jesus or Isa was a common name and the Muslims have clearly got hold of another one than ours. Their Isa in the Quran is not son of God, has not died on the cross to save the world and now sitteth at the Right Hand of God. The Muslims think that Isa will come at the day of judgement, break all the crosses, kill the pigs and will be the assistant of the Mahdi to confirm Islam is the true religion. Fat chance.
R Russell says
I suppose it happens across the West, Muslims doing something in public to reach into the local community for converts.
I have noticed it in local newspaper articles. eg giving out flowers at Christmas because they ‘love Jesus too’.
When these articles appear and I notice them, I comment, just like I am commenting here. When they say they ‘are just like Christians because they believe in Jesus too’, I very nicely point out the differences between Jesus and Isa. It is possible they don’t know many of the differences either. I usually get dog’s abuse for being Islamophobic. No one questions the Muslims for misleading the readers.
Still I will continue to comment.
I recommend readers do the same with their local newspapers. The more who do this, the more readers across the world will learn that the 2xJesus’ are 2 totally different persons.
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is useful. I haven’t used it yet but will do when it is appropriate.
b.a. freeman says
one of the problems with commenting, R, is that many such sites will not publish the truth if it embarrasses islam, because it’s “islamophobic.” truth doesn’t matter to them. nevertheless, U are indeed correct that we must comment on forums that don’t welcome the truth about islam. i believe that the trick is to be very polite, and to appear to not know much by asking basic questions, getting them to spell out the religion, including getting them to explain abrogation. once that has been explained, U can confront them with the difference between the revelations of mecca and yathrib (a better name for the place, since “medina” means “city of the prophet”). it is also good to get them to explain that the quran is *not* the entirety of islamic scripture, and that it includes the 6 sahih hadith collections and the sira. get him to acknowledge that sahih al-bukhari and sahih muslim are the best hadith collections, and finally throw out a couple of the more disgusting or depraved hadith for him to chew on. by that time, they will delete the whole exchange, but many will be aware of it, and may actually check for themselves. and that’s the whole point: we *MUST* get people to check for themselves. i *ALWAYS* encourage the nazis (without calling them that) to check islam, if only to be working with the truth from the original sources, so that they can best defend the poor put-upon muslims. most won’t break through the indoctrination, but some will, and we need every single person we can reach to oppose this disease of civilization and the human mind.

Muslims Reassure Christians: We Revere And Love Jesus, Too (Part One)
What do Muslims think of Jesus? It’s a question Dr. Sabeel Ahmed said he gets often.
To help educate people on the significance of Jesus in Islam, Ahmed’s group, The Humanitarians, a Muslim interfaith organization, is launching a monthlong campaign that includes billboards along high-trafficked areas in Arizona along with radio ads.
………………………………………….
Is that so? Will “The Humanitarians”–laughable name!–tell us that the main role of the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “Isa”–is to murder Christians in the last days? I didn’t think so…

I have heard that Iran’s Ayatollahs are KGB agents Russians priests are also fake. They are also KGB agents with modern gadget like cross shaped aerial and guns?. Russians control ,religion?
Ginny says
So say those with Trump derangement syndrome. I think maybe Satan snd the globalist UN are the more likely culprits.
gravenimage says
What is na babbling about? I have some issues with Russia, myself, but the idea that Jihad is actually the KGB is as ridiculous as the claim that Jihad is actually Mossad.
Islam has been a threat for 1400 years, and *much* predates the KGB.
juniemoon says
Sure the mooozlums love and revere Jesus That’s why they harass, torment, imprison and kill His followers whose command from Jesus to go forth and spread his Word to all people in all nations they obey.
Mooozlums – they take the cake for the worst hypocrites in the history of civilization.
WPM says
Moslems love Christians as much as Hitler loved Jews ,the Moslems have been trying to exterminate Christians and Christianity FOR 1400 YEARS. The Moslem” Jesus ” Isa is blood lusting warlord who comes down from “Islamic Heaven” will kill true Christians and Jews at the end of time according to Islamic text .Moslems” our Jesus is like your Jesus “,instead of loving you forgiving you for your sins he wants you dead .The difference between the Christian Jesus and the Moslem Isa is like a loaf of bread is to a rock. One can feed your soul the other is an excuse to bash someone,s head in.

Spot on.
James Whitney says
Qur’an 9:30 (Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed)
The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
WPM says
The Moslems are so mix up the Jews never said “Uzair” or Jesus or Isa or anyone was the son of God (the Moslems word allah for him} ever. They just say this so they can curse both Jews and Christians in the same breath over something that the two faiths {Jewish and Christian people} differ greatly ,Islam hate has no bounds or logic to it.
thebigW says
“Muslims regard them as guilty of shirk, or polytheism, which for Muslims is the worst possible sin — or as some preachers, such as Nassim Abdi of Sydney have put it, is “worse than any sin.”
Shirk is worse than that in Islam. Muslims are taught to fight and kill anyone who spreads Shirk, it’s a crime “worse than murder” according to Ibn Kathir and other Muslims.
WPM says
Islam is the worst crime created against the human race ,it drives man with instruction ,permission, blessing to rape, murder, kill, steal, enslave others in the name of a god “allah” .A lie told billions of times over 1400 years ,that has cause millions of deaths. Name something that has lasted that long or cause more misery in recorded human history?
Singh the Sikh says
Jesus was appropriated and downgraded in order elevate Mohammed and Islam over and above Christianity. It’s an ongoing purge against Christianity by Muslims to this very day. They don’t just abduct, rape, murder, forcibly convert but also use deception and trickery in their attempts to try to expunge Christianity by pretending to have the same beliefs about Jesus. Throughout history Islam and its armies have wanted to overthrow Christianity and establish Islam in its place. The battle goes on today, using both violence and non-violent means, and suited up rather than armoured Muslims.
