Tolerance? Sure! Muslims will kill simply because someone follows a non-muslim religion. Compare that to the burning of a book, and let’s talk tolerance, shall we???
I have worked with some of the nuts at the UCC (tbe “Christian” church that sanctions, within their denomination, the pulpit of Rev Jeremiah Wright, a practitioner of Black Liberation Theology, an offshoot of Marxist Liberation Theology).
It’s a blight on Christian history that they are, in part, the successors to the Congregational Churches, who were, in part, successors to the Massachusetts colony “Pilgrims” and “Puritans”.
As for Islam being an Abrahamic religion — no way. All of the people who wrote the Bible were Jews. Jesus was a Jew. Whether you are talking about the old or new Testament, you are talking about a tradition that comes from the Jewish people. What was Mohammed? An Arabian pagan who plagiarized the Bible. He even changed the meanings of the Jewish and Christian scriptures.
My understanding is that Jesus comes from the marriage of Sahra and Abraham up through Isaac,Jacob and David.That is also the Jewish heirarchy. Mohammed comes from the lineage of Abraham and Haggar who was a maid servant of Abraham and who was to be cast out from Abrahams ‘family’. With this scenario it is no stretch of reasoning that the hatred of muslims against Jews and Christians is so deep rooted that time acts to propagate differences rather than ameliorate enmity between blood lines going back many centuries. Another interesting link is Islam apparently recognizes Jesus as a prophet of Abrahams lineage but not as in Christian belief as being of God: thereby making Jesus higher than Mohammed in the greater scheme of things which obviously the Muslims cannot accept.
Mohammed not only plagerized the Bible but he actually changed the meanings of the Bible scriptures. Today Muslims believe that they have the true understanding of the scripture and the Jews and Christians are fallen away from the true faith which is Islam. They even claim that Moses was a Muslim. In addition, they claim that the temple mount in Jerusalem was not the site of the ancient Jewish Temple.
