Mary and Joseph were citizens of their own country - not illegal aliens ...

St. Joseph and the Islam Koran: St. Joseph not mentioned.
1. As many of us know, Mohammad claims, about 600 A.D., that the angel Gabriel appeared to him and delivered God's message to him.
2. So, we would think that Gabriel, being sent by God, would have his historical facts correct.
3. St. Joseph and Gabriel: But the angel Gabriel does NOT seem to have his historical facts correct when it comes to St. Joseph, Mary's husband, according to the Christian Bible.
4. In fact, St. Joseph is never mentioned in the Koran.
5. Mary's surah/chapter: There is a long devotional chapter/surah dedicated to Mary, but St. Joseph is not mentioned.
6. Mary married St. Joseph AFTER she had Jesus? I visited a Muslim site and asked when Mary married St. Joseph.
7. The answer: Mary married St. Joseph AFTER Mary had Jesus.
8. Can you believe that, especially when the source is supposed to be the Archangel Gabriel? How absurd.
9. So according to Islam, Mary was an unwed mother when she had Jesus. Again, how absurd.
10. If Gabriel can't even get his facts straight after 600 years about the marriage of Mary and St. Joseph, then the obvious question is this: What other historical facts did the angel Gabriel get wrong? Plenty, I say.
Absolute, categorical nonsense.
Mary and Joseph lived in the Roman province of Judea, but it is EXTREMELY unlikely that they held Roman citizenship.
