BREAKING:

Iran has summoned the French ambassador for the offensive representation of Jesus Christ during the Olympics opening ceremony.

Muslims consider Jesus a prophet of God.

@Megatron_ron

Iranian Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance:

'The insulting representation of Jesus Christ in Paris yesterday was completely offensive and crossed all red lines. France, a country with a major history of Christianity, must be ashamed of itself, and I implore our Christian people all over the world to speak out against this act – we resolutely condemn this'

John 14:6-9 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”

If no man cometh unto the Father, but by Him, why would the Father need a prophet in Muhammad 600 years later?

I’ve asked many a Muslim this, and they have no answer except to say Jesus never said this.

I believe Jesus.

The muslims believe it is a mistaken belief that Jesus died and rose again according to the prophecies of the Old testament. They usually don’t defend Christians so my guess is that the gesture was made to split French society. They are pointing out the difference between old Christian France and the new modern French heathens. The muslims are hoping they can force themselves easier into a split society.
IMHO

Amazing that no Christian nation did this...

US and world leaders denounce Paris Olympics opening ceremony's mocking of Last Supper

Not a single American democrat? Not Biden or Camel-A?

Johnson and MGT condemned it. But not Pelosi, not AOC?

They don't mean it, it's just a little diplomatic oneupmanship.

the Muslims that I have spoke with about this do consider Jesus a prophet (as opposed to the Son of God)

also they seemed to respect conservative Christians more than atheists who evolved from primordial slime

For the first and only time since 1979 I agree with the government of Iran.
Western governments are disgustingly cowardly.
This is eerily similar to the situation in Western Europe in 1939, with hard left leaders in Europe too weak to stand up to the impending threats of war.
Adolph Hitler, Chancellor of Germany, recognized their weakness and referred to them as “…worms…”, and promptly took advantage.
The next six months will be the most dangerous time since the Missiles of October in 1962, and quite possibly since 1939, the start of World War Two.

“So Muslims consider Jesus to be a prophet. Well, that’s nice. But Christians are still infidels. And infidels are not high on their “be nice to” list.”

They’ll bypass the insults and go directly to killing you.

You know it was a poor choice of a display when even Iran is criticizing how Jesus was portrayed. What was the French Olympics Committee thinking?!

Oh, so that’s what prompts an apology, not ordinary Christians complaining.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His use of the possessive "our" is a little odd. I wonder if it's just a translation glitch or something more significant.

Because of what was written by many witnesses - people who lost their lives for doing so - I believe Jesus because of their words and lives and deaths.

I e never heard a muslim take it seriously. In fact, most are dismissive of it.
