Jesus Prophet of IslamApparently some Christians are VERY upset that this Islamic group has taken out ads professing Jesus is a prophet of Islam. The distinction is explained more below but in a nutshell, the belief is that Jesus was a prophet of God's and sent to Earth by God but is NOT a part of God.

@Simon - I have to make a comment here. You say, "I know of no other 'religion'which teaches hatred of others simply due to their failure to believe as they do."

Okay how about all the times the Christian bible commands you to kill :
The bible orders to kill, many time in the bible. It says to kill the following people:

Blasphemers/followers of other religions (Lev. 24:10-16) also (Exodus 22:19), (2 Chronicles 15:12-13), (Deuteronomy 13:7-12), (Deuteronomy 17:2-5)
any one going too close to the tabernacle (Numbers 1:48-51)
not observing Sabbath (it actually says Saturday !?!) (Exo. 31:14, Exo. 35:2)
children that disobeying parents (Deut. 21:20)
cursing your parents (Exo. 21:17)
homosexuals (Lev. 20:13)
sex during menstruation (Lev. 20:18)
loss of virginity (if unmarried?) (only for a woman) (Deut. 22:21)
adultery (Lev. 20:10)
all who sin (The soul who sins shall die.) (ezik 18:4)
witches (Exodus 22:17)
fortunetellers (Leviticus 20:27)
hitting a parent(s) (Exodus 21:15)
false prophets (Zechariah 13:3)
the whole town if one person worships another god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19) (Deuteronomy 13:1-5) (Deuteronomy 18:20-22)
infidels (and gays) (Romans 1:24-32)
working on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:12-15)
sons of sinners (Isaiah 14:21)

…and others. Those are just a few of the many examples.
It's hypocritical to assume your faith is "the one".
In the views of another, YOU are just as delusional to someone else for your own views.
Be tolerant above all - it will end a lot of strife.

Jews also believe Jesus to be a great teacher and prophet. What's the big deal. If everyone would read his teachings then all these arguments would be null and void. He taught pure love for everyone. He told us not to judge. Come on people if we all put the teachings of these great prophets to work in our own lives then maybe we will have acceptance and peace. If Christians want to believe Jesus is the only begotten son of God then let them, If Muslims and Jews want to believe he was a great prophet let them. But everyone should read is teachings and use his lessons to become better human beings.

@Pat a friend of mine sent me that article and he was SO P!SSED off. He wrote me a little blurb that said, "JESUS WORKS FOR US" like the Muslims stole his sales rep for Christianity or something LOLOLOL... I couldn't agree with you more = people need to concentrate on how we are alike and forget about the little differences or who is "the right one"....

All i have to say is that yes Jesus is the prophet of God (ALLAH). His birth was a miracle by a God (ALLAH) to prove The Zions of that time that God (ALLAH) can do anything he wants to do and Yes he was the prophet of Islam . With due respect Islam Has proved itself to be the best religion (living way of life) then other religions its in the history and the statistics clearly states us so there is no arguments about this and we do believe that he wasn't crucified and he will be send back to the earth again in time of Antichrist . Look brothers and sisters never say something about any religion or even about anyone until u study it deeply . I think that this campaign will clearly remove any questions and any misconceptions on Islam . We Christians , Muslims and Jews have very similarities in each other than others so we should not fight with other . We are brothers and sisters . Please stop fighting and arguing on each other !

@Farooq - i like your thought "We Christians , Muslims and Jews have very similarities in each other than others so we should not fight with other . We are brothers and sisters . Please stop fighting and arguing on each other !" I am neither Christian, nor Muslim nor Jew and I agree wholeheartedly we should concentrate on how we are ALIKE.
