"In addition, Islam accepts the New Testament of the Christians and the Old Testament of the Jews as Divinely inspired works.


It is not that simple. Islam considers the versions used by Christians and Jews to have been corrupted and in need of restoration. That restoration is accomplished by the Koran. We are not talking about differing interpretation of commonly held scripture like in the case of Christian and Jews in regards to the Old Testament.

Islam was created as a counterbalance to stop and eventually destroy Christianity. CHrist was sent here by his father and those who would depose the father will use any means to do so.

We are all witness to the fact that Christ has dominion over all angels and rulers in heaven. To deny the divinity and authority of christ is the first goal of Islam. Until the catholic church admits this first fact about islam - we are doomed.

It does not really matter "what Muslims think of Mary" so long as their opinion of her Son is so diametrically opposed to ours.

Muslims believe that when "Isa" comes again, he will "break all the crosses and destroy all the churches." That is: Isa will chasitize the Christians for worshipping him instead of Allah.

That is the son of the Muslim's idea of Mary.
