National Catholic Reporter: "Muslim Jesus provides common ground for Christians" [Chrislam]
Jihad Watch ^ | 8/25/2017 | Robert Spencer

[...]

Jesus is not the Son of God and belief in the Trinity is "excess": "O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say 'Three.' Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One Allah. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171

And: "It is not befitting to Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, 'Be,' and it is." — Qur'an 19:35

Jesus was not crucified: "And because of their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger – they did not kill him or crucify him, but it appeared so to them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a conjecture; they did not kill him for certain." — Qur'an 4:157

Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: "They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary." — Qur'an 5:17 (cf. 5:72)

Islam, like an opportunistic virus, is entering the body-religio of Europe because it has abandoned its Christian faith. Under the guise of Chrislam, an attempt to syncretize Christianity with Islam, it is taking over Christendom in Europe where faithful congregations used to worship.

The essential concept of Chrislam is that Christianity and Islam are compatible; that one can be a Christian and a Muslim at the same time. Chrislam is not an actual religion of its own, but a blurring of the differences and distinctions between Christianity and Islam like the false prophets of ancient Israel blurred the distinction between Baal and the God of the Bible.

Advocates of Chrislam point to facts such as Jesus being mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an, or Christianity and Islam having similar teachings on morals and ethics, or the need for the two largest monotheistic religions to unite to fight against the rise of atheism and alternative spirituality (Peter Kreeft's, Ecumenical Jihad).

Chrislam is viewed by many as the solution for the ongoing conflict between the Western world, which is predominantly Christian, and the Middle East, which is predominantly Muslim. Chrislam ultimately fails because Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on the most important issues. The Islamic Moon God, Allah, is a singular entity while the Christian God is triune (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Muslims view Jesus Christ as a prophet while Christianity says He is God, the second member of the triune Godhead. True Christianity declares Jesus to be God incarnate while Islam says that Allah is unknowable. For Christians, the deity of Christ is a non-negotiable, for without His deity, Jesus’ death on the cross would not have been sufficient to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2).

Islam demands the death of the Infidel to atone for a Muslim's sins. Islam adamantly rejects the deity of Christ. The Qur’an declares the idea that Jesus is God to be blasphemy (5:17). Belief in the deity of Christ is considered shirk (“filth”) to Muslims. Further, Islam denies the death of Christ on the cross (4:157-158). The most crucial doctrine of the Christian faith is rejected in Islam. As a result, the two religions are absolutely incompatible, making Chrislam a concept both Christians and Muslims should reject.

Some current proponents of Chrislam are Rick Warren, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, late Robert Schuller, Glen Beck, Tony Campolo, Brian Maclaren, Joel Osteen, and Pope Francis. Chrislamic people themselves see no problem with the basic unity of the two religions, because they say that God loves all people and wants us to love all people. Former President Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is quoted as saying, "I made it [Chrislam] comfortable for him [Obama] to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background."

very dangerous indeed!
Alluh is Satan and his Legions are largely terrorist murder gangsters bent on destroying the Church and western civilization.
any ‘pastor’ or ‘priest’ that promotes Islam or appeasement with the Muslim murderers is a serious, serious, serious danger to the church

Allah is a cheap copy, made by Akkadians, of a false god that was a part of Sumerian mythology.

Islam is a LIE of the Devil. It is BLASMEPHY and a dark evil system. In life it is cruel and a cult of death. It dooms souls to eternal damnation in Hell and the Lake of Fire forever.

Outside of that it is harmless.

There is no Muslim Jesus. Nearly everything that I, as a Christian, affirm when I say the Creed in the Divine Liturgy, Muslims deny, point by point.

Of course — and I have run into this with other religions that appropriate Jesus as one of their own — everyone has the truth about Jesus, except the Christian Church.

Doesn’t the Quran confuse Miriam, the sister of Moses, with Mary, the mother of Jesus, considering them to be the same person? That’s what I have heard.

Jesus and the Father are one. Faith in the knowledge of Christ’s redemption through his death and resurrection is central to the Christian faith. All else is deceit from the father of lies.
Allah and the Father are not one. Allah is a false god born of the madness of his servant, Mohammed - a rapist, a murderer, a tyrant, a pedophile,a truly evil man who has led a brood of vipers down through the ages to a destination of damnation.
Our God is a jealous God. He does not suffer evil men. e hates false gods. He demands we shall put no other God before him.

You are correct. The Koran is a crapulous mass of bile and hate (e.g. kill all Christians and Jews, Satan lives in your nose, earth descends into a muddy bog at night). The Pope himself has said that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This is a patently false statement. Yet Roman Catholic Doctrine makes him the Vicar of Christ with infallible authority. So Roman Catholics (like I once was) need to get out while there is still time...

The problem is that this is catching fire around the globe!
The Pope is one of the biggest proponents of Chrislam! The Roman Church is changing quickly. There is a significant homosexual lobby in the Church now, and evil at the top. God used Roman Catholicism to helped me understand truth. That same truth, however, set me free from the grip of a corrupt, fallen, system. I found a small Christian church that loves God’s word and looks for His soon return...

All this is OFFENSIVE to not only the TRUE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE, but to I as well as a Christian.

Yes, the sister of Moses gets confused with Mary, the Mother of the Savior.

Why would it be scary if it’s End Times? Luke 21:28 - “28 But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
