Islam is a distorted mirror image of Judaism and Christianity. So, institutions and behavior valued in the Judeo-Christian tradition appear in Islam as a distorted mirror image. Marital fidelity (one-man, one-women becoming one) is valued in in the Judeo-Christian tradition. In Islam, it's distorted to four wives, with no sex outside of marriage, except as allowed in Islam. Sort of a Kerry-esk "yes, BUT", mirror image of Christianity.

I'll bet you still don't understand what I've said.

There is the OT and the NT. The Quran is the "Bizarro" version of both..

I don't understan. Why would I not get it now that you have explained your post? I understand your meaning now. It was confusing to me because the mirror of I Corinthians 13:12 was a lament of Paul concerning man's own ignorince after the fall. And it is an ignorance that both Muslims and Christian (If Paul is to be believed) must suffer under because of our own fallen nature. God commands us to love and be loved, but we only know a part of the full meaning of this, is Paul's point I think. Thuse we see, but only as through a mirror and darkly.
