Hi AKK:
You have simply misunderstood the post. You quoted a verse that was specific to Mohammed and gave it a shocking interpretation that was completely unsupported by the verse. I merely explained that it was this type of behavior that has kept Christians and Muslims apart for the past 1,300 years. What behavior? The Christian and Muslim behavior of promoting their religious traditions that are unsupported by their principal texts.
Your Islamic traditional teaching that “Quran was the final revelation. And that Allah and the Prophet pbuh described Christianity and its tenets as a perversion of monotheism.” cannot be supported by any interpretation of the verse that you quoted unless you severely damage the verse’ integrity.
Was Mohammed’s message of forsaking idols and submitting to the One and Only God, who is identified as the God worshipped by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Of course this message is for all of mankind. But let us try to separate the truth of the Qur’an from the Islamic traditions that are not supported by the Qur’an and which constitute a barrier to other persons who also submit to this God.
Regards.
Grenville, again you have responded by stating jsut your opinions and asserting that what you call "the traditional" view of Islam is wrong.
Please address my points and the verses I quoted and maybe this will go somewhere. Your opinions on what Islam is supposed to be are irrelevant unless you support them with proof.
So Grenville bring your proof and I'll bring mine and may Allah forgive the one who is distorting Islam here.
