One of the reasons Mohammed hates Christians is when he traveled to Heaven (in a dream, mad psychotic episode, who knows?) he had prophets, seers,saints, whoever bow down to him until he hit the top echelon. He told Jesus to bow down and Jesus would not. That royally pissed him off. Sounds about correct.

Well, maybe he did hate ISSA (Arabic word for Jesus) but the Saudis name all kind of stores and industries after Him: Issa's clothing store, etc.

Daryl Issa, the California congressman, is named Daryl Jesus.

The 30 Saudis I knew didn't hate Jesus. They thought he was a good man. That seemed to be the opinion of most Arab Muslims.
However the majority of Muslims are NOT Arabs.

=======================================

From Google:

Indonesia: 202.9 million population
Islam is the dominant religion in Indonesia, which also has a larger Muslim population than any other country in the world, with approximately 202.9 million identified as Muslim (88.2% of Indonesia's total population of 237 million).

================================
GOOGLE:

Country:Number of Muslims
Indonesia: 203 million
Pakistan: 174 million
India: 161 million
Bangladesh: 145 million
Egypt (Arab): 79 million
Nigeria: 78 million
Iran: 74 million
Turkey: 74 million
Algeria: (Arab/Berber): 34 million
Morocco: (Arab/Berber: 32 million
Iraq: (Arab): 30 million
Sudan: 30 million
Afghanistan: 28 million
Ethiopia: 28 million
Uzbekistan: 26 million
Saudi Arabia (Arab, of course): 25 million
Yemen (Arab): 23 million
China: 22 million
Syria (Arab): 20 million
Russia: 16 million
USA: Islam in the United States is a minority religion, the 3rd largest faith in America, after Christianity and Judaism, representing 0.8% of the population.

**I wonder if Black Muslims are considered part of Islam. Probably not.

It WAS a hoot when the Indian Sikhs were in California. The men wear the turbans, as you know. The women wear mustaches.
California law REQUIRES helmets for motorcycle drivers and riders. The Sikhs thought they could get away with NOT wearing helmets because of the RELIGIOUS significance of their turbans.

One Sikh DID come up with a helmet OVER his turban. We all ROARED over that one.
Safety won out over religion.

I was grateful for the entire hilarious episode!

Darrell Issa would be “Darrell Joshua”, just as the patriarch Joshua’s name is not transliterated “Jesus” as if from Greek Ιησούς.

Those thirty Saudis would be quite angry if Jesus’ nature as the Son of God were mentioned to them. They only like their Gnostic version of Jesus.
