Yes, but then 14 years as an Intelligence NCO then Warrant Officer, integrated with linguists, cultural studies, religious studies... Hell, I think there are times I know more about Islam than most of the practitioners...

LTC Paul Heinlein, I did. It's amazing if you tell this to people who are unaware of it or they think your "full of it".

Prophet, but not THE son of God. Do fundamentalists care? Only if you put Him above Muhammad. Then you lose your head

Yes, but the Quran also says that Jesus himself never claimed to be the Son of God. Further more it indicates that Jesus will deny having ever claimed divinity at the Last Judgment, and God will vindicate him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jesus named many more times in the Quran then Muhammad?

I knew that the Jewish faith recognized Jesus as a prophet, not the Muslim community. Thank you for informing us about that.

Moslem religious leaders claim that Muhammad was the greatest prophet ever sent. If this was true, then God would have stated so in the Quran. Instead, when God talks of a prophet being greater than others, the name He mentions is that of Jesus.

Yes, and many of the scripture on the Quran are very similar to the Judeo-Christian ones. Disclaimer: I'm no expert on Islamic religion!

Yes they believe he was a prophet and they believe everything he said except for who he said he was. Ironic isn't it?

The Islamic Jesus sounds much closer to Damien. The Muslams Claim he will Kill those that worship him. They also say he was never crucified.

I have worked with Muslims on several occasions, and I have had several very productive chats with them. BTW, when I say productive, I mean that we had a good talk, and I learned something new.

One of the first things I learned was that every one of them referred to Jesus of Nazareth as "the prophet Jesus." They did not disrespect Him, but they did not refer to Him as the Son of God.

I must admit, I miss those talks.

I would assume anyone who has studied Islam would know that they recognize Jesus as a prophet (same with Judaism), in fact the holiest of prophets. They don't recognize Jesus and the Son of God, because, in their eyes, the idea of the Triune (aka Holy Trinity, 3 separate beings making up God in Christianity) takes away from the Supreme power of one true God.

I would make the further assumption that many in our ranks would have studied Islam in an effort to "know thine enemy," but judging from some of the postings I've seen here on RP (not in this thread), that clearly is not the case.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam ALL worship the SAME God (though they may use a different name)... The thing that has caused all of the problems over the years is that everyone thinks their way of worship is the only right way...

In fact he is one of the mightiest and he is mentioned in the Quran more than the prophet Muhammed (PBH) on them both. Jesus mother (Marry) is honored with ( chapter19) of her own in the Quran. Furthermore, her family are also honored with a chapter of their own (chapter 3). Happy reading.

Mohammed was very well verse in both Judeo-Christian beliefs, and only portrayed himself as a Prophet from God, so yes, he would tell about Jesus as Prophet in his teachings. Much like the Jews, Islam doesn't believe that Jesus was the Son of God, but merrily another Prophet like himself.

Yes, he is a prophet but not a son "God" or the holy ghost of the Christian trinity. If you have an interest in Islam, you will see that it is more than just a "religion."

Interesting perspective from a non-Muslim viewpoint......

Muhammed, knew a little bit about Christians and Jews. Unfortunately, just like when you play the telephone game and don't get information firsthand, there are errors in the Islamic account of history.

Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet who was fully human, like Muhammed. They just see Muhammed as being the greater prophet. And like so many Biblical stories that are retold in Islam, they get history wrong. For example, Muhammed confuses the story of David vs. Goliath with the story about Gideons Army and mixes the two events together even though there was more than a generation separating these events. In the Qu'ran they have Jesus saying things he never said as they aren't recorded in any of the Biblical texts.

How could Muhammed know the words of Jesus almost 600 years after his death? If Allah told him, should we believe it when Allah overlooked details of Creation and other stories in the Old Testament and gave an account that differs from the historical record?

Muslims don't grasp the Christian concept of the Trinity and thus lump Christians into the polytheist category. That gives Christians the option to convert or die. They view Muhammed as being the greatest of the prophets and example of the perfect man that they should all seek to emulate. Just don't draw his picture. His followers might get offended and try to kill you in the name of their peaceful religion.

Yes. I was aware Islam believes Jesus was a prophet. But, the Jesus of the Bible was murdered on a cross and rose from the dead. In Islam, I am not sure what Jesus they are referring to. Do you Sir?
