ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 You really have no clue Greta. You really don't. The two factions have nothing to do with different teachings but the belief in who should have followed the original prophet and thus be in charge of religious teachings. There are clearly differences in their interpretation of the religious teachings for them to unhappy with each other and fighting who should be the authentic one. End of the day, if Muhammed is exposed as a false prophet, their war with each other will be over, since Muhammed is now a fake. After all, the story about Jesus not being the son of God and just an ordinary prophet was invented by muhammed himself. But yet muhammed believed in Jesus enough to mention that Jesus is real. Because back then, Muslims followed Jesus. He had to convince these people Jesus isn't a God, just another prophet. And that he was the final prophet sent after Jesus to give them God's final instructions, message, whatever. If you read more debates between Muslims and Christians online, very lengthy reads, but you will see, they even debate things about how come when Jesus was a Prophet, he was able to have the power of God to power those miracles and when Muhammed was Prophet, he wasn't bless with the same powers. What amazes me, I've never seen any Muslim deny that all that "magic" Jesus did was false. They actually explain why Jesus has powers and Muhammed did not have powers. It's all very interesting really, alot of them respect and really believe in Jesus. That's why I genuinely see the bridge. When Muhammed was trying to establish Islam. He must have realise the respect and reverence these people had for Jesus, so he had to roll with it, because for him to try to discredit Jesus will make his Islamisation plan completely unsuccessful to convert Christians that his practically the "third testament" aka the Quran. So fortunately, Jesus is a revered and respected prophet in the Islamic world till today.
