Interesting posting!

One sentence in it is a little easy to misunderstand, however:

"So that's why Surah 5:116 mentioned Mary as a god."

That surah mentions Mary only as "NOT God," i.e. Jesus disavows any claim of divinity for himself and his mother.

>>After reminding him of these favors, Allah will say: "O Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Marry), Did you ever say to the people, "worship me and my mother as gods beside Allah?" He will answer: "Glory to You! How could I say what I had no right to say? If I had ever said so, you would have certainly known it. You know what is in my heart, but I know not what is in Yours; for You have full knowledge of all the unseen. (Surah 5:116, Al-Maida, F. Malik Translation)<<

Hope you don't mind my nit-picking!

Regards
