    Oddly, Moslems also worship this Jesus guy.

    Personally I think Mohammed is perfectly in line with the Old Testament.

    I'm still scratching my head wondering how the heck Jesus fits into the Abrahamic religions. He seems more like a buddha.

    Most Christians are not followers of Jesus. I'm not sure why they don't just admit that they like Mohammed better.

      Going to that site to learn about islam is like reading a pamphlet on democracy written by Putin.

        Judging a book by its cover, eh? Too bad you won't be able to point out any actual errors with the information presented from Prophet of Doom.

          Same reason I don't bother to try rebutting Putin's distortions about democracy.

    Uhhhhh - no. Muslims DO NOT worship Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and part of the entire Holy thing. Muslims believe that Jesus was just another prophet, and prophets are unworthy of worship. No Muslim worships Mohammed. They worship God, Allah, but they most certainly do not worship Mohammed.

    Go back and try again. Try reading the Quran.
