Muslims love Jesus, too: 6 things you didn't know about Jesus in Islam
Vox ^ | December 23, 2015 | Jennifer Williams

Christmas, as everyone knows, commemorates the birth of Jesus and is a major religious celebration for Christians around the world.

But what many people don't know is that Jesus is an important figure in Islam, too, even though most Muslims don't celebrate Christmas (though some of us, especially American Muslims, do).

In honor of the holiday, here are six things you may not know about the role of Jesus -- and his mother, Mary -- in Islam: ...

Muslims don’t believe Jesus made those claims. They believe the Christians made those claims.

Since you had “All” in your “to” post, I reply to say it’s a very good & accurate historical chronology/summary in that youtube vid link. I appreciate it is about the “Crusades” there.

But that YouTube vid does not explain, in any depth, how Islam, as a religion, came about, ie Islam’s inception.

Reason I mention the above is because many if not most Muslims, Islamics or Islamists included, try to harmonize differences between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, based on ORIGINAL common grounds or teachings, tenets, practices or religious laws.

Those common grounds go back to Islam capitalizing on aforementioned Abrahamic religions, among other ones, since Islam is the last in chronological order of significant worldwide religions with adherents second only to Christianity at present.

Jesus is the Son Of God, not just a prophet, and the Muslim Jesus will come. Christ warned us of him. If he is in the desert, don't go to him. The Muslim Jesus will probably perform miracles, deceiving many, but his days will be numbered, and there will be no mistaking who the real Jesus is. He won't be pleased at the treatment his people, Christians, or the people of the promised land, Jews, have received at the hands of Muslims. On that day the Islamic religion will cease to exist. But be of good cheer. The surviving nations of the world will live in peace, and every knee will bend, and every head will bow to the Glory of God's Son. Merry Christmas!

“Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.”

“We” as in plural. What happened to “There is no God but Allah.”

Just another example of Mohammed being a camel humping pedophile who started a cult of hate by stealing from other religions to justify war, rape and thievery.

Muslims love Jesus, too: 6 things you didn't know about Jesus in Islam

Wrong 6 times and more.

Muslims do not love Jesus but have a clearly difference Christ, one who

1. Was not the Divine Son of God the Father

2. Was not the prophesied sinless Savior of Is. 53

3. Did not die to pay the price for the forgiveness of sins

4. Did not bodily rise from the grave in confirmation of His mission.

5. Did not promise salvation and the Holy Spirit to those who believe on Him.

6. Did not teach religious non-violence and reject bloody jihad since His kingdom was not of this world.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) MUHAMMAD VERSUS JESUS CHRIST

Christ is the second person of the Holy Trinity.

Anything less means nothing.

You either believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God or you do not. There is no either or, nor is there any possible way to straddle a middling belief.

He made it impossible to be a materialist, relativist, or muslim.

You forgot to mention that they took credit for the alphabet and mathamatical characters (that were there LONG before the pedo MoHamEd was born)..

3. Mary (called "Maryam" in Arabic) has an entire chapter in the Quran named for her — the only chapter in the Quran named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the entire Quran: As noted in the new Study Quran, "other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba." Mary is mentioned more times in the Quran than in the entire New Testament.
 

And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."

She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me.’" And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.

So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, ‘Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man.’"

Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"

He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"

Mohamhead stole from the old and new testament, the Talmud and the Torah,and invented in his creative mind and with his poison pen his false, satanic religion and pagan 'god'.

Lotsa folks have done this...

Here is what Ibn Kathir narrated: وَقَالَ اِبْن جَرِير حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوب حَدَّثَنَا اِبْن عُلَيَّة عَنْ سَعِيد بْن أَبِي صَدَقَة عَنْ مُحَمَّد بْن سِيرِينَ قَالَ أُنْبِئْت أَنَّ كَعْبًا قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْله : “ يَا أُخْت هَارُون “ لَيْسَ بِهَارُون أَخِي مُوسَى قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَة كَذَبْت قَالَ يَا أُمّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ كَانَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَهُ فَهُوَ أَعْلَم وَأَخْبَر وَإِلَّا فَإِنِّي أَجِد بَيْنهمَا سِتّمِائَةِ سَنَة قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ وَفِي هَذَا التَّارِيخ نَظَر

Well!

It's no WONDER they are confused!

Jesus says "thank you" by inviting ALL Muslims to...

Funny; but the Lord invites them to accept His offer; just as I and countless others have.


Once I was blind, but now I can see...
