Controversial billboards in Columbus, Ohio, reading "Jesus is Muslim" and "Mohammed is in the Bible" are drawing protests from local Christians who say Muslims are "hijacking" the name of Jesus.
"Although we support the Islamic community's right to free speech, as well as their right to post messages on billboards, we do not support the hijacking of the name of Jesus Christ in their attempt to lure uninformed Christians into their religion," Coach Dave Daubenmire of Pass the Salt Ministries said in a statement Thursday.
Daubenmire is hosting a prayer vigil on Saturday alongside the Rev. Rusty Thomas of Operation Save America and Pastor Bill Dunfee of New Beginnings Church in Warsaw.
The billboards are sponsored by a group called "Ask a Muslim," based in Columbus, which says that it is dedicated to educating people about Islam.
"We believe that clearing up the many misconceptions about Islam will make this world a better place. A place with less violence and hatred, filled with mutual respect and understanding," the group says.
The group argues on its website that Muslims are actually Christians, if "Christian" is taken to mean someone following the teachings of Christ.

How about one that says “the Crusaders were right”
Most people named Jesus today are Hispanic Catholics.
Yes, I used the present tense.
How about this billboard:
“Mohammed was a child-rapist, pedophile, mass murderer, slave trader and sex-slave trafficker...”
thanks a lot! I really avoided to never see that video, and...here it is! >:(
Mohammed was a pedophile and murderer. Pigs be upon him.
I completely agree...I remember watching the Nick Berg video and it haunts me to this day. They are so sick and evil!
Put up a billboard, “Mohammed is an anti-Christ deceiver.”
Asking a muslim for truth is like asking satan if he is god..nothing but lies, they have perverted the teachings of christ and are trying to proclaim that Jesus became muslim when he ascended, need some billboards next to it, want lies, ask a muslim..
OK.
Is Jesus the son of God?
Is Jesus God?
Did Jesus die on the cross and was he resurrected?
Did Jesus die for the sins of the whole world?
Is Jesus the “only way to the Father”?
Since Republicans were being asked questions of faith (regarding creation, a wife's status, etc.) during the 2012 election debates, then Obama should've been asked everything on your list. Just to prove what we already know (hint, he's already on record saying NO to the last question on your list, look up the God's Girl Interviews Obama article from before the first election)...
Lets tell the truth, mohamm is a liar, thief, pedophile and murderer and leads the followers of islam to hell.
“Jesus Is Muslim”
Didn’t he live about 600 years before Islam even existed?
We believe that clearing up the many misconceptions about Islam will make this world a better place.9/11 cleared them up. Now it's just a matter of finishing you off.
The Muslims say everyone is born Muslim. They’re NUTZ! The Mormons, an even later group similarly founded by an insane warlike leader, also have some bizarre doctrine to account for those embarrassing nearly 2000 years before Joseph Smith came along.
It’s par for the course in crazy cults.
Debate about the origins of syphilis has continued for nearly 500 years, ever since early sixteenth-century Europeans blamed each other, referring to it variously as the Venetian, Naples, or French disease. One hypothesis assumes a New World origin, and holds that sailors who accompanied Columbus and other explorers brought the disease back to Europe. Another explanation is that syphilis was always present in the Old World but was not identified as a separate disease from leprosy before about A.D. 1500. A third possibility is that syphilis developed in both hemispheres from the related diseases bejel and yaws. New studies by paleopathologists Bruce and Christine Rothschild favor a New World origin.
I'll stick with my descriptor of mutthomed, it takes me to a happy place.
And their final punchline wold be, "Those are all false interpretation of the true Jesus. The true Jesus, Issa, is a prophet of Allah.
It's you who are wrong, they'd say, for holding those distorted beliefs about him.
RE: I don’t recall anything describing Jesus as a syphilitic, misogynistic, camel humping pedophile.
How do we know that Muhammad had syphilis?
That theory is coming under serious doubt
Here's just one article that possible refutes it...

They also say Moses, Abraham, and in fact Adam, were Muslims. They do not see Mohammad as starting a new religion, but as more of a Reformation figure, trying to turn people back to fidelity to the true religion which existed from the Creation of Man.
Matthew 24:4-5, And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:11, "and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."
