Epigraph:
O People of the Book, exceed not the limits in your religion, and say not of Allah anything but the truth. Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah and a fulfilment of His word which He sent down to Mary, and a mercy from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers, and say not ‘They are three.’ Desist, it will be better for you. Indeed, Allah is the only One God. Far is it from His Holiness that He should have a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And sufficient is Allah as a Guardian. (Al Quran 4:172)

Yet another article ‘breaking news’ Jesus prayed to the Father – NOT to Himself or the Holy Spirit. Jesus came to earth in human form to open the gates to heaven. To suffer for us. To make the Old Testament believable. I guess the Trinity is too complicated for a lot of people that repeatedly these articles attack it. Islam does NOT have a monopoly on truth, faith, theology, dogma, practice, or belief. Being at least 6 centuries younger than Christianity and over 4,000 years younger than Judaism – all this nonsense is revisionist history to say the least. Write about what Jesus taught. The lessons. The light of the world to come. Benefits of faith and law. instead of systematically and repeatedly attacking what Christians believe. Amazing how there are NO riots, fires, threats of retribution from Christians being minimalized or voracious attacks on their view of the Son of God. Guess we know what religions offer the world Peace and tolerance. And for the record. What if Jesus IS the Son of God. And everyone else is wrong? Spending a lifetime defaming and writing crap about this Holy Man. What I can’t figure out – is that the Quran repeatedly calls Jesus someone of honour, someone rather famous, and someone entrusted by God to carry a message. Yet Islam and these writers here continue disgustingly attack this Prophet and Messenger? Shows a rather 2 faced side of Islam if you ask me. Respect and reverence – ARE respect and reverence. For everyone. For all faiths. Muslims don’t tolerate anyone making jokes or talking negatively of the Prophet(pbuh). So what makes it fair to repeatedly attack Jesus and christianity? Pretty pedantic and one sided if you ask me. But what do I know?
