Interestingly, the Christian Lebanese often refer to themselves as Phoenecians, rather than Arabs.
Oh God, bless Your Messenger and Your servant Jesus son of Mary. Peace be on him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the day he shall be raised alive! Such was Jesus, son of Mary, (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt. It befitteth not (the Majesty of) God that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him!
umm, aren't these a bit contradictory?
I agree. Muslims ahve taken their religion and used it as a weapon against all that stand in their way. They have perverted the words to mean whatever their Mullahs are told that they must mean by their masters. Not Allah.
A couple of things to ponder:
1. How reliable is the translation, considering the source??? Some of the english translations of the Quran are "softened" for dissemination to the non-Muslim....you know, to better aid understanding and co-operation... puke.
2. Assuming that this is an accurate translation, it actually sounds like the platform of at least a couple of groups that call themselves Christian... including denying the divinity of Christ, and denying the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost, etc.)
I am burning three Saudi embassies, as I type this, having just finished jumping up & down on an Egyptian flag, screaming, "death to Saracen dogs," for three hours, to make sure the cameramen got good shots from all angles.
Once I rest up a bit, I will throw (looted) pig skin sandals at every mosque I can get to, within a day's camel ride of my tents.
Almost a shame that it IS only satire & sarcasm.
Do it for the children!
To them, Jesus was translated to heaven alive, and AFTER the return of the Madhi (the "Hidden Imam" or "Twelfth Imam" i.e. Antichrist, to us) he will be returned to earth, to act as the leader of the Madhi's armies, primarily to wipe out the last remnant of Jews & Christians who still oppose the Madhi, and capture Jerusalem to be their eternal Islamic capitol.
Afterwards, he will live another 40 years, to "finish his life" on earth, and die. In the meantime, he will have married and sired progeny.
I do NOT capitalize 'he' etc, because it is NOT Jesus, Messiah, that they are referring to, any more than allah is God! Instead, it is the fake, that returns as a bad imitation, complete with white horse, "which were it possible, would fool the very Elect...".
Check this out: Will Islam Be Our Future?
It isn't what it sounds like; it will explain the above much better than my summary. And, yes, it is a Christian site, to explicate what they believe, and HOW, as well as why, Christians must oppose Islam at every turn.
You're right! Those are called "NON-Christian CULTS": Mormons who believe God is one of many gods, that God had sex with Eve making Jesus is a spirit brother of Lucifer, and that they will become gods and have their own planets after death; Jehovah's Witnesses,who believe the Father is God, that Jesus was created by Him, and the Holy Spirit is an It rather than third Person of the Triune one God; Oneness Pentecostals (who think that the Father is the Son, or that the Father and Son are the Spirit); Unitarians, Scientology, etc.
He never said he was the son of God, either.

Nope - GOD said it HIMSELF:
Matthew 3:17
Matthew 17:5
Mark 1:11
Luke 3:22
