Close, but no Loaves & Fishes!
There is no Islam in Christianity at all, at least not the way we practice it here in America. But anytime studying the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is going to be a step in the right direction. So he is on his way.

Exactly. I am all for promoting tolerance in the area of the world where it is needed most. Let me also be one of the first to praise the small exceptional examples of tolerance in the Islamic world and wish for them becoming the rule rather than the exception:

1. King Abdullah of Jordan
   
2. President El-Sisi of Egypt
   
3. The late Ataturk of Turkey
   
4. The late Shah of Iran
   
5. Most of the Kurdish people
   
6. And, now, this guy.

Islam is a skewed knockoff of Christianity. There are even Biblical quotes in their "Glorious Koran." If you like, I can quote a couple of them for you.
My husband was in the position to award Saudi contractors jobs with ARAMCO. It was open to huge bribery. To stop that trend the company said that the ONLY "gift" that a potential Saudi contractor could give to an ARAMCO employee was a KORAN...and my husband got one.

The KSA must allow Christian men of the cloth for their Christian employees. And they do. Lol. If they hadn't, Americans simply would not have gone to the KSA. Since those non-Muslim holy men-of-the-cloth are NOT allowed into the Kingdom, the Saudi government simply RENAMED them: "special teachers."

I know this because my husband and I worked for ARAMCO for five years in Najmah, Ras Tanura. I learned to go to daily Mass because of my Saudi boss. He said: "God is number one. There is always time for God. cloudmountain can go to pray whenever she wants to."

I couldn't go to daily Mass there (9:00 A.M., Dominican priest, A.K.A. "special teacher") because it would have been too disruptive to my daily job but when I returned home to the U.S.A. I started doing just that and STILL do it today, so many years later.

When we flew into LAX and when I got off the plane I got down on my hands and knees and KISSED the linoleum floor of the airport hallway...I was SO glad to be HOME for good.

Franklin Graham knows that Allah and yahweh are two different things. One has a son and one does not.
