Iran says France should be ashamed of itself for its opening ceremony at the Olympics.

"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."

I find this extremely odd, considering that muslims will kill you for this faith.

[Dan in Wichita]

I wonder if the Vatican will condemn this blasphemous display? Probably not.

Isn’t Joey B a fine catholic?

Mussies say Jesus is a Prophet.

[Robe]

Although they do not recognize Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the consider Him as a Holy Prophet.

[nwrep]

Same with the French.

You are correct. Islam is an abrahamic religion. Jacob’s lineage leads to Christianity and Esau to Islam

But the same root as it were

Here’s what to chat GPT says:

Muslims hold several beliefs about Jesus (known as **’Isa** in Arabic) that align with some aspects of Christian theology, but there are also key differences. Here’s a summary of the beliefs about Jesus in Islam:

1. **Ascension to Heaven**: Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified but was instead raised bodily to heaven by God. According to Islamic teachings, Jesus was saved from crucifixion, and another person was made to look like him and was crucified in his place. Jesus is believed to be alive in heaven.

2. **Return to Judge the World**: Muslims believe that Jesus will return to Earth near the end of times to restore justice and defeat the false messiah, known as the **Dajjal**. His return is one of the major signs of the Day of Judgment in Islamic eschatology.

3. **Virgin Birth**: Muslims believe that Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary (**Maryam** in Arabic) miraculously, without a human father. This belief is affirmed in the Quran, which describes the annunciation and birth of Jesus as a miraculous event.

4. **Miracles**: The Quran describes several miracles performed by Jesus, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, creating a bird from clay, and speaking as an infant. These miracles are seen as signs of God’s power and as evidence of Jesus’s prophethood.

5. **Status in Heaven**: Jesus is regarded as one of the greatest prophets in Islam, and Muslims believe he is currently in heaven, awaiting his eventual return. However, he is not considered divine or the Son of God, as Islam emphasizes the oneness of God (**Tawhid**) and rejects the idea of the Trinity.

In summary, Muslims believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, performed miracles, was ascended to heaven, is currently alive there, and will return to Earth to fulfill his role in the end times. However, they view him as a prophet and servant of God rather than as divine.

There’s a reason faggots have been slammed into the closet throughout most of history; they’re toxic degenerates and like cancer for any functioning society

[redfreedom]

Your concerns are also mine.

I wonder if the report is genuinely from Iran or some more BS people made up.

Just about anything a person hears, reads or sees regarding news is subject to being propaganda.

Don’t hate the messenger here. I’m only passing along this info...

On July 26, the Olympic Committee’s Twitter message referred to that table scene as a representation of the Feast of Dionysus:

If it wasn’t a representation of the Last Supper, I don’t know why the person in the middle is wearing a halo.

But, FWIW, that’s the latest info.

[Theoria]

Iran is very liberal for that part of the world. Christians, Jews, and others actually get to practice their faith. Not many Islamic countries allows Jews, Iran does.

Jesus is still respected in the Islamic faith, he is still considered the Messiah in the Quran.

I don't know of any Churches in Saudi Arabia or Temples.

[dforest]

Iran prolly just thinking that Allah is going to be made fun of next.

And then they will have to....

Frankie the marxist pope likes this stuff.

I resolutely condemn and stand against the Islamocracy snake raises its forkedtongue anywhere in the world, but especially against it in my country and its Christian foundations which tolerated Mhammedan heathen will disrupt at the earliest opportunity available. As a Founder of our nation and its first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and descendant of French Huguenots, John Jay definitively wrote thus:

“Providence has given to our people the choice of their ruler, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

The first enemy of our ratified Constitution and its nation was the Islamic centuries-old religio-political entity vested in the Ottoman Tripolitania, which had declared war against Sweden and the United States. Though shifting in location through the years, it has remained our violent enemy ever since. And it is even now working through its dedicated spies elected to offices in our local, state, and federal government to destroy and replace it.

The fool you are.
