If I am not mistaken, Muslims consider JEsus Christ to be a prophet, but no the son of God, and certainly not the Savior of the world.
Ahmadinejihad-p*ss be upon him.
OK, here goes. I have spent a lot of time in the middle east and central asia, specifically Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.
As "people of the Book" there is much in common between conservative, traditional Americans and the everyday member of Islamic society. Contrast this to the "remove God and His teachings from all aspects of society" mission statement of the American left.
The hatred for "American values" has grown in the region through it's exposure to our "culture" as evoked through Hollywood and the media, which is, in fact, anti-thetical to the traditions and values that enriched the soil that produced a Reagan revolution.
The very people who voted in great numbers to elect the party endorsed by those sworn to kill us all will be first slaughtered should we lose this war.
"He was a messenger of peace, devotion and love based upon monotheism and justice...
compared to the blood thirsty, murdering rapist, Mohammed!

What an idiot Muhammad was.
And if only he could see what a generation of misfits losers he's inspired.
as they say, ...knowing your enemy is half the battle.
to hell with ahmadinejad
Ahmadinejad is a Shi'ite. The website linked to on the page you've linked to is Sunni. Ahmadinejad does not care what they have to say about Christmas, or anything else. Furthermore, Shi'ites only recognize as Imams a limited number of Muhammad's direct descendants; their usage of the term is quite different than the Sunni imam. Ahmadinejad's supreme religious leader is Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and I'm fairly certain he's authorized Ahmadinejad's propaganda outreach to Christians. The Supreme Leader can make life very difficult for an intransigent president, and we can assume that the two agree on all major matters of international relations.
One might argue that Christians didn't know what it meant when they co-opted it from Jews....
I heard or read somewhere that it is ok to lie to an infidel, so there you go...he's lieing to the world
The early Christians were Jews. You mean when they "co-opted it" from themselves?
It's called "taqiyya", it means prevention. Robert Spencer and a former Muslim talked about it on some documentary they were in. Not only can they lie to infidels, but they can also lie to family or anyone else if it prevents trouble; if it's the easier way out. That's not much of a guideline since the purpose of lying is usually to find an easy way out.
They don't even understand the significance of "divine" vs mortal.
Trying the fool the Christians. Be careful.
Muslims hate both sides of American/Western culture. Yes, they hate the Hollywood garbage. But they also hate pious Christian culture as well. The genocide in Sudan against Christians is against simple people who merely refuse to worship to Mecca. The Islamic conquests of the 600-700s (AD) had nothing to do with a reaction to Hollywood garbage.
No.
He believes that Jesus is just an assistant to the real deal...the Mahdi.
Jesus is sort of the Luca Brazzi in all of this.
