I have never gotten the Islamic take on Christianity. They consider Him a prophet...but not the Son of God, so apparently they consider Him a prophet who lied. I get cognitive dissonance just thinking about it...

It's all related to the Islamic take on Christian (and Jewish) scriptures. They see both the Old and New Testaments as corrupted and revised(even though there is no evidence of that...) and Mohammed 600 years after Christ had revealed to him the truth, correcting the biblical accounts.

This in spite of 4 separate, apparently eye-witness accounts to the life of Jesus, and his death (and ressurection) written down--and tens of thousands dying by that time for the belief that Jesus is God (as opposed to the Roman Emperor) who died and was raised...(contra the Quoran's teaching).

Simlarly they see the Old Testament as corrupted by the "evil" Jews (without a shred of evidence) and so Mohammed set the record strait that it was Ishmael (Abraham's b*stard son) not Isaac who was the heir to God's promises to Abraham.

As a Christian, I can't help but see Islam as a conterfeit to real faith--which spits in the face of recorded history--in the name of a supposed revealed history.

What is that statisitic? Of the 41 current wars around the world 38 involve Islamic peoples? Jesus said you shall know them by their fruit.

One of the problems is they take the Gospel of Barnabas which seems to claim that God made Judas look like Jesus as part of his betrayal and therefore Judas was crucified.

Pretty loose evidence.....but you can draw any conclusion from any book claiming to be that of the bible....

Which is what satan is, a conterfeit to Jesus. Satan cannot create anything, only destrory and maniplulate others to destroy.
