We know that Jesus did not speak Greek because the Aramaic speaking people in the time of Jesus considered it sinful to speak any other language

Seeing as Jesus extensively quoted the old testament which was written in Hebrew I'd guess that He spoke Hebrew also. Kind of puts the lie to the 'He didn't speak other languages' noise.

Christians are often told that no one can go to heaven except by Jesus. This tells us that the only way anyone can go to heaven is to be Christ-like. Muhammad was such a man.

You need to read the scriptures again. We are to be Christ-like but the Word of God states that we are incapable of doing so (For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God). Only by accepting Jesus death on thecross as teh sacrifice for your sins can you go to heaven. And since the mohammedans deny the atoning death of Jesus I guess we know where they'll end up.

As to mohammad being Christ-like. Did Christ ever murder? No. Di mohammed? yes. Well I guess we can stop before we get into pedophila and rape and the rest of mohammeds sins.

name for Muhammad was in his mother tongue, Palestinian Aramaic

There wasn't then, nor is there now, (nor will there ever be,) a country called palestine. Therefore there is no palestinian Aramaic. There's just aramaic.

God Save America (Please)

Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Northern Central (also called Northwestern) group; it is closely related to Phoenician and Moabite, with which it is often placed by scholars in a Canaanite subgroup.

Spoken in ancient times in Palestine, Hebrew was supplanted by the western dialect of Aramaic beginning about the 3rd century BC..

Sorry John. Jesus spoke Aramaic.

In the Islamic creation Adam and Eve ask for forgiveness from God and God forgives Adam and Eve so there is no Original sin carried forth from generation to generation.

Hebrew was the liturgical language.. it was rarely spoken. Aramaic was the language of ALL the common people of the region. You may note Jesus spoke to the common people. That's one of the things that got him into trouble with the high Jewish muckity mucks.

You probably need to do a little research. You are completely wrong.

There was a "Palestine" according to the Greek scholar Herodotus who wrote Book 3 Thalia in 500 BC.
