ORIGINAL: Greta75 I *think* you might be a Christian and I know Christians hate to have any association with Islam. But they probably dislike jehovah witnesses and westboro and I am sure most Christians think Joseph Smith is bullshit too. But Islam and Christianity started off the exact same history. It's just that Muhammad self-proclaim himself the prophet of Christianity, changed the name of his specific Christian beliefs to Islam, as it deviates from obviously what regular Christians believe in, and then preached his own version of what happened to Jesus. That's all! And got followers, mostly through forced. I mean, Muhammad's in laws were all Christians. (Referring to his first wife, the only wife he was monogamous with until she died of old age, since she was 20 yrs older.) And the Angel Gabriel he claimed spoke to him directly is the EXACT same Angel Gabriel from Christianity! His wife convinced him his not hallucinating because his wife was Christian and taught him Christianity. So all the "teachings" in the Quran was apparently from Angel Gabriel of Christianity according to Muhammad. I try, desperately, to be nice to you, even though you don't reciprocate the courtesy, but here we go: I am Christian, but it's not a matter of not wanting to be associated with Islam (although I don't want to). All three are Abrahamic religions (if you will), but your idea that Islam sprang from Christianity is about 300 years errant. As I suggested, reading about Isaac and Ishmael (their father was Abraham) would inform you that that is where Islam "split" from Hebrewism (there actually wasn't any such term as "Judaeism", back then). Isaac, the father of the Hebrews and Ishmael, the father of the Muslims. The birth of Jesus wouldn't be for about (I'm doing this from memory) 14 generations (so, at 20 years per generation, we're talking about 280 years). Furthermore: Christianity didn't really become a "force to be reckoned with" until almost 100 years after Jesus' death. Muhammed's interpretation of Islam didn't come into play until the 7th century. Please, when someone takes the effort to try to set you on the path to educate yourself, avail yourself of the opportunity so that you might actually know what you're talking about? Michael
