Islam is not bad, too many of you are ignorant of history.

3. I don't want to argue about the teachings of Jesus in a general sense as he was not here to start a new religion, simply get the Jews (of which he also worshipped with) back on the right path. However, I do agree that his teachings always focused on peace and leaving the judging to God. The Qur'an does not differ in these teachings at all. You're just skipping past all the many parts that discuss this.

Hey Super Chunk I have a question that I have been to afraid to ask my Muslim friend. He's always trying to convert me so I try to change the subject as much as possible and not discuss Islam or Christianity.

But he says that the Bible is a Holy Text in Islam and that Jesus is a prophet of Allah. However he says Jesus never died on the cross or resurected three days later. He says Jesus ascended like Muhammed.

But this gets me confused.

The Bible clearly states that Jesus is the son of God. It also says in the Bible that Jesus died and was resurected. Jesus himself claimed to be the son of God. So this has had me puzzled wouldn't Jesus have been a false prophet as he claimed to be Gods son? And how can the Bible be a Holy Text when it clearly says Jesus resurected three days after being killed on the cross?

The only thing I agree with his mythology is that Jesus ascended to heaven and is coming back. But he ascended after being killed on the cross.

My Muslim friend gets highly pissed off at me. One time he came into my house and my Bible was on the ground. He started yelling at me, The Bible is a Holy Book it should not be on the ground how can you treat it like that.

But if the Bible is such a Holy Book and Jesus is truly a prophet of Allah then why don't Muslim's read the Bible? And how can the Bible be a holy text since it clearly states Jesus is God's son. And how can Jesus be a prophet when he said he was God's son. And how can Jesus not die on the cross in Islam while dying on the cross in the "Holy" Bible?

It's just something I've always wanted to ask him but never had the balls too!
