If you are a Christian and Muslims tell you that Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the same God- here is what you need to know about Islam.

      This is probably going to be my most important article on Islam as an ideology about which Christians need to know. I will give you all the information that you need to know about Islam. First off, why do we as Christians need to know about Islam?. Do you know that Islam as a religio-political ideology was built to deny, attack and seeks to disprove and dismantle Christianity's claims on Jesus Christ?. You heard that correctly, right now, as we speak, when most Christians are not focussed on winning souls for Christ and are selfishly thinking of their own family and children and how they can only think about their own lives and family or how to get God's blessings. Islam as an ideology which was specifically fashioned and designed by Satan through the man Muhammad and his successors, was originally built on countering, rejecting and refuting Christianity's claims about the Triune nature of God by specifically attacking the Sonship of Jesus Christ with respect to God the Father, the deity of Jesus Christ aside from rejecting Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection and they are aiming for your children and we need to equip our children with the Word of God and pray that the Holy Spirit guides them when they are confronted by such attempts to mislead them and convert them to Islam by "dawahgandists".

    The fact of the matter is that Muslims know enough about Christianity's central beliefs naturally when their whole religio-political ideology is built on rejecting, attacking and refuting Christianity's core beliefs, it is only natural that they know about Christianity's core beliefs and they aim for Christians who do not know their Bibles well and when an ideology or a religion is built around seeking to reject and disprove Christianity's core beliefs with its counter-claims. It is therefore naturally imperative that Christians know the core claims of Islam against Christianity's beliefs, even if they did not know about the other aspects of Islam that make it an evil, satanic belief system which is not good for the world at large. However, just for good measure, besides Islam's claims against Christianity, we will also take a look at the other aspects of Islam that do not make it a belief system which is inherently good for the world. Seeing that this is the stance of Islam on Christianity, it is a pitiful and even dangerous thing that so many Christians in the world know absolutely nothing about Islam, especially what it teaches about the life of Jesus Christ whom they reduce to the stature of a mere man and a prophet of their god "allah". Another crucial difference is how little most Christians know of their own Christian eschatology (end-time prophecies) compared to how much Muslims know about their Islamic eschatology wherein Christians are featured!. This comes as no great surprise, since Islam came nearly 600 years after Christianity. This also means that Christians need to know about Islamic eschatology which also attacks Christian beliefs to make out that this system is Anti-Christ and Satanic in origin.

i) "My Muslim friends are nice people, why do you say that Islam is evil?" - my response: 

    Sadly, most people in our world are not objective but emotional in their thinking and this often leads them to follow their emotions instead of objective thinking. As long as there are Christians and non-Muslims who evaluate Islam as an ideology emotionally based on the niceness of their Muslim friends with them at specific times of their lives when they were in dire need, this would often mislead such people to believe that their good Muslim friends represent Islam in the best way and therefore the ideology of Islam itself must ideally be good because our Muslim friends were nice to us, right?. Here, we need to take a step back and look at Islam as a belief system, if someone is going to say at this point that all religions have extremists and moderates and therefore the moderates in Islam are the good Muslims. I would say "Quite the contrary" because Islam's most trusted written sources - the Quran, the Hadiths and the Sira literature form the backbone of their belief system unlike a single book of multiple books like the Bible or books of other faiths and these 3 literary pillars of Islam (Quran, Hadiths and Sira) extol Jihad as the ultimate virtue and the only surefire way for a Muslim to enter heaven, most know of only the 5 pillars of Islam but Jihad is the 6th most important pillar which is often ignored and not mentioned, the problem is that not all Muslims wage Jihad against infidels but during Ramadan a portion of Zakat (almsgiving) goes to Jihadi operations in the world or islamisation, so in one way or the other the life of even moderate Muslims is tied with Jihad.

    To understand Islam in depth, one must know what all these 3 sources of their faith teach regarding not just how Muslims are to live out their daily lives but also how their interactions with non-Muslims ought to be and that is where our journey starts because Muhammad the central figure of Islam or their prophet was initially a peaceful man with dreams of conquest for His baby Islam and at that time in Mecca, he got very less followers. It was later when Muhammad moved to Medina that he became a warlord and a conqueror with many followers who were either lured through promises of lust for things of this world or in the Islamic heaven with full-breasted half-angel beings called houris, so these men who joined Muhammad's band of caravan robbers were either lured through lust of women and other comforts of this world that conquest alone would bring or were forcibly subjugated at the edge of the sword to convert to Islam. In the former case consequently, Muhammad allowed polygamy because this meant that his men could have many children with their wives and the sex-slaves they got through conquests of Non-Muslim groups in Arabia, this meant that Muhammad's Umma (Muslim World) would grow further through more violent conquests for which more boys would be born to his men and their wives as these boys could later be used as Jihadis for the expeditions. Historically, this is how Islam spread from Arabia to the surrounding lands up to India and up to North Africa and Spain in the West.

    At this point, you may ask "What about my nice Muslim friends, they are not violent, why are they bad?". To this, I would say that those nice friends follow a whitewashed, Walt-Disney version of their faith in which "swords" in their scriptures are interpreted as "roses", this is called "reinterpretation" which is the only way that Moderate Muslims can justify that Islam is peaceful but these Muslims are either deceived and misled by their religious leaders or they know the truth and cover it up to make Islam look nice, to give them the benefit of the doubt, we can take it that the former is true in most cases, however, their moderation can be questioned especially after terror attacks on Israel and the Jews when they take up sides against the Jewish people and side with Hamas/Hizbollah and their jihadis. To this end, Muslim leaders brainwash them with lies since childhood to believe that Islam spread peacefully all the way from Arabia and represent the Jihadis as deliverers of ones who were oppressed and when the oppressed were delivered, they miraculously saw the beauty of Islam and converted. Such rosy, romanticised fables about Islam's spread are utterly misleading but are sincerely believed by most moderate Muslims but the Islamic historical sources are unanimous to agree that Islam spread through the sword, most especially the writings of Ibn Kathir, a famed Islamic scholar called "Habr al Umma (Pen of the Umma)" in his Tafsir and other works mention how Islam spread all the way from Arabia to other places. In fact, Muhammad Himself waged at least 80 wars (including caravan raids) in the latter half of his life. Since, Islam's own trusted sources prove that Islam was spread by the sword, this information is intentionally withheld from most Moderate Muslims by their religious leaders as a part of a cover-up and verses that are clear about violence and incitements to violence are reinterpreted through the rosy, romanticised lens of "reinterpretation" to fit in with the idea of Muhammad being the best human being who ever lived and the most peaceful person ever when their own sources prove the contrary especially when talking about the latter half of Muhammad's life.

ii) "What do I as a Christian need to know about Islam's teachings on the core articles of the Christian faith? - my answer:   

a) Need for Jesus' crucifixion for forgiveness of mankind's sins in the Bible and Quran's denial of Jesus' crucifixion:

     For starters, Christianity as a faith revolves around the cross of Christ for it was at the cross that Jesus paid the price for our sins by shedding His sinless blood as a propitiation for our sins before God the Father. In essence, God has 2 sides to His nature - 1 is justice and the other is mercy as these are like 2 sides of a coin in God's righteousness. In order for God to show us His mercy, His justice had to be fulfilled and that is where Jesus took our place on the cross and died physically to pay the price for our sins through the shedding of His sinless blood for us to fulfill God's righteous wrath for our sins so that we could be recipients of God's mercy. Therefore, Christianity is unlike Islam where Allah is claimed to forgive sins of people as if he were waiving a magic wand. This idea of there being no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood goes way back to the Torah (first 5 books of the Old Testament) wherein God tells Moses to order the Jews to offer animal sacrifices wherein the shedding of blood is a reminder to the Jews that God's righteous anger against sin was taken out on the innocent substitute animal for the man or family whose sins are being atoned for in order for God to show His mercy to the guilty who repents of His sin(s). A thousand years later, Jesus came and died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice and propitiation for humanity's sins of which the Mosaic sacrifices were a foreshadow. Hence, this theological concept is called "Substitutionary Sacrificial Atonement" and it is deeply rooted and grounded in the Torah and the Gospels. We even see that Abraham was initially told to offer up his son on Mt. Moriah but later God told him to use a ram caught in a thicket instead of his son when He saw Abraham's faith that he never doubted God. The ram basically took the place of Abraham's son which is also a foreshadow of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity's sins on the cross thereby paving the way for our atonement with the Father through Jesus' own sinless blood. Therefore there is no Christianity without the cross of Christ and one of Jesus' titles in the book of Revelation which is the last book of the Bible and the New Testament is "The Lamb of God".

     Muhammad of Islam came along 600 years after the Bible was completed and denied the very crucifixion of Jesus Christ (even without having met Jesus or his disciples who all preached that Jesus was crucified) in chapter 4:167 (Surah An Nisa), in which the Quran not just denies the crucifixion of Jesus and says that Allah made it appear to the Romans, Jews and everyone standing there by letting someone else take Jesus' place on the cross and making it appear as if Jesus was crucified but in so doing tricked Jesus' first believers in order to let them start a faith on the premise that Jesus was crucified - this is a blatant denial and outright attack of the crucifixion of Jesus central to the Christian faith. In the light of the absolute necessity and wish of Jesus Himself to be crucified on the cross in line with the will of the Father for which he even rebukes Peter his apostle in Mathew 16:23/Mark  8:33 for telling Jesus not to go to Jerusalem to be crucified by saying to Peter "Get thee behind me, Satan!" as well as through the prophecies of the Biblical prophets Isaiah, Zacheriah, Micah and many others in the Old Testament, we know that only Satan tried to stop the crucifixion from occurring, hence it is Satan's wish from the start not to see humanity redeemed from its sins through Jesus' crucifixion. Hence, this proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Quran's denial of Jesus' crucifixion and its vitriolic attack against the very idea of Jesus crucifixion is satanic in origin. Although this doctrine of the Quranic denial of Jesus crucifixion was not firstly seen only in the Quran but it actually has its origins in the heretical Gospels of Gnostics of Egypt who claimed to be Christians and wrote their own false, apocryphal books like the Gospel of Thomas, 2nd treatise of the Great Seth, Gospel of Barnabas etc more than 300 years after Jesus and his apostles lived whence this doctrine was carried across to the Quran by the Quran's author(s), it still does not vindicate the demonic nature of this Quranic denial and attack of Jesus' crucifixion.

b) Quran's denial of Jesus Resurrection:

        Furthermore, since the Quran teaches that Jesus was never crucified, it also denies Jesus' Resurrection because to them, Jesus did the disappearing act and went to heaven, this makes Allah a cosmic trickster who created a whole religion named "Christianity" based on deception and hence is not trustworthy about future revelations like the Quran. This is natural since if Muslims tell us that we worship the same God (which we Christians would not agree with if we knew any better as our God's name is Yahweh, not Allah and our God is Triune as opposed to an absolute 1 like Allah who is a god of war). The apostle Paul writes that if Jesus had not risen from the dead (Resurrection), our Christian faith is in vain and that we are still in our sins as Christians in (1 Corinthians 15:14). This is yet another crucial difference that Christians need to know about what Muslims believe about Christianity and what the Quran teaches about the same. If anything, any passionate Christian who is serious about his/her Christian faith must be appalled and disgusted by this horrid and abject Quranic rejection and attack of Christianity's core doctrines of which resurrection is the 2nd pillar and hence Christians ought to reject, eschew and loathe Islam as a belief system. 

c) Quran's denial of Jesus' Sonship with the Father and hence the Trinity as well as Quran's denial of Jesus' deity:

     The Quran attacks the Sonship of Jesus Christ with the Father and hence the Trinity in a number of verses from Surah an Nisa 4:171 where the Quran addresses Christians and condemns us for believing that God has a Son named Jesus and then goes on to call Jesus a mere human prophet of Islam and this verse attacks the very idea of the Trinity and makes God impotent of having a Son, Surat at Tawbah 9:30 further condemns Christians for calling Jesus the Son of Allah and calls on Allah to destroy us for believing in it, the English translations tone it down by saying "May Allah curse them" but the Arabic "قَـٰتَلَهُمُ" implies "May Allah destroy them (Christians and Jews), it is weird that the same verse assumes that Jews are in the same situation for taking "Uzair (Ezra)" as the Son of Allah when no Jew ever believed that  about Ezra even historically the way Christians do. One would assume that the Quran being a book for Muslims would tell them how to live life and contribute to the well-being of society and wherever they live in. However, here we see Allah of the Quran making a livelihood out of attacking the beliefs of Christians throughout the Islamic sources like Quran, Hadiths and Sira literature at various points coinciding with events in the life of Muhammad and his various interactions with Jews and Christians. If one were to assume Christianity as a religion born out of Allah's trickery of Christians by making them believe that Jesus died on the cross, can Allah then blame us for believing in the Trinity, since such an assumption would make him the author of that belief as well?. In any case, if we were to assume that Yahweh and Allah were the same God as Muslims tell us, then in the light of that logic, I would ideally tell Allah to shut up and mind his own business instead of lecturing us Christians on what to believe and what not to believe because he is a twisted trickster and how can we believe the Quranic claims of Islam on Jesus to be correct when Allah created an entire religion called Christianity out of his deceit?, once a liar always a liar and trust is built on honesty and truthfulness. If one were to assume that this corruption of our beliefs were the outcome of bad people who wrote these beliefs in a book, in the end it still makes Allah incapable of protecting His previous revelations from corruptions of men, it makes men look more powerful than Allah the Islamic God which again makes Islam fall flat on its face in shame and what would men gain out of corrupting divine scriptures which would eventually lead them to burn in hellfire for money in this world?, such an argument or train of thought entertained by Quranic minds does not hold water and is utterly ludicrous to say the least.
 
   In Sura 19:35 of the Quran, the latter says that it is not becoming of Allah to have a Son and Allah says "be and it is". Now, this verse assumes that Allah begetting Jesus as a physical act of intimacy with Mary and it becomes clearer how the author of the Quran assumes that Allah has to be intimate with Mary to sire a son through her in Surah 6:101 (How can Allah have a Son without a consort) which is blasphemous even in Christianity because we as Christians do not believe that God was intimate with Mary for her to give birth to Jesus. For the author of the Quran to make a claim that God needs a female consort to sire a Son through her makes God look like a human because only humans need to have sex with their wives to have children through them which again contravenes the logic of Sura 19:35 where god only needs to say "be" and things are created. However, this is exactly what the Quran claims in Surah 66:12 "we breathed into her womb our Spirit", however the Arabic uses the word "Farj" which is Arabic for "vagina" (although the Arabic translators translate "farjahah" as "her chastity") and it says that this act was done by Gibreel the angel. Such a notion is blasphemous if we imagine it as Christians. First off here, we see that the Quran's author(s) are human and have thought of God having a Son in the human sense via a wife or a concubine in Surah 6:101. Furthermore, Surah 19:35, 6:101 and 66:12 prove that the Quran's author(s) failed to understand that when Christians say Jesus is God's Son, it means that Jesus proceeds eternally from the Father having the same deity and essence being 1 with the Father and the Holy Spirit in essence. Not so surprisingly, Muslims nowadays grapple with the same issue and assume that we Christians worship 3 separate Gods while claiming we worship 1 God which is a contradiction while in fact we Christians believe that God is a compound unity made of 3 persons having individual characteristics while being united in their deity and being which is not a contradiction - this is the Trinity. 

             The Christianity Trinity is therefore a compound unity as opposed to the Quranic doctrine of Tawheed which makes Allah an absolute 1. Even in these above verses, we see that instead of lecturing Muslims on how to live their lives, what to believe and how to treat others. We see Allah taking up a judgmental position of the beliefs of Christians as if he is this grumpy, snivelling troll masquerading as a school teacher sitting on a high stool as if he has the moral high ground over a people who do not submit to him or worship him. Why should Allah care since no Christian sees Allah as his/her God?, why should Islam be so concerned about the beliefs of Christians, Jews and others when the Islamic God would do better to speak to his own Umma about minding their lives and how they can do better to please Allah as well as contribute to the societies they are living in?. This deeply rooted polemical mindset in Islam's most trusted sources aimed at groups like Jews, Christians and to a lesser extent polytheists, explains why Muslims living amongst other groups spells trouble for the other groups in the world wherever Muslims immigrate to. The problem therefore is deeply entrenched in the Islamic worldview which is the source of all of this evil because Islam in its sources as we have seen above not only denies the Sonship of Jesus with the Father but also denies the Trinity in the same breath.

     A few verses above Surah 19:30, Quran claims Jesus to say that he (Jesus) is just a prophet of Allah as if Jesus preached Islam when theologically and historically, this is a redactive assumption on Jesus' nature as if he were a mere human prophet who preached about Islam just to shore up support for the Muslim assumption on the Bible's supposed corruption in the hands of the Jews and Christians when in fact, Jesus or Yeshua as we know Him was a Jew and He never preached about Islam. Same can be said of all the Old Testament's prophets of whom the Quran again claims that these Biblical prophets were actually Islamic ones when they were clearly Jews. Yes, we Christians believe and know that Jesus preached that He (Jesus) was the Son of God and God in the flesh for He was both the Son of Man and Son of God which many of the chief priests of his time had a problem with but ethnically and by vocation, Jesus was a Jewish rabbi, although He was from a carpenter's family. Just like Surah 19:30, in Surah 5:116, the Quran claims that Allah would ask Jesus if Jesus ever preached that he (Jesus) was God anytime to men and that Jesus would deny it. These are examples of Quran verses that not just deny the core Christian doctrine of Jesus deity but also attack it in a polemic fashion. Verses like these prove yet again that Allah in the Quran makes it the goal of his career to deny and attack the beliefs of another group of people instead of minding his own business and tending to his own Umma and their overwhelming problems which alone are countless as is evidenced by the lack of security, peace and their pathetic and disdainful treatment of Christians, Jews and people of other faiths in their lands where building multiple churches for instance or owning Bibles or preaching the Gospel is a criminal offence that can lead to imprisonment or death.

  iii) What do I as a Christian need to know on Islam's end time beliefs and how they relate to our Christian end time beliefs:   

      The fact is that the average Muslim knows his eschatology (end-time beliefs) better than the average Christian does aside from knowing Christianity's teachings and how to attack them. This is a dangerous situation for Christians because if not knowing the Bible well enough were a big problem on its own for many people who claim to be Christian, most Christians show a lack of interest, commitment and focus on the study of Christian end-time prophecies which is a dangerous state to be in. It is of primary importance that we Christians know our Bibles well before getting to know what Islam teaches on the Bible and how to respond to those objections to our faith with the Holy Spirit's guidance and help. The Christian who knows his/her Bible well with the Holy Spirit's guidance will eschew the doctrine called "Replacement theology" aka "Supersessionism" which has been taught from church pulpits for centuries and this false doctrine teaches the following - "The church has replaced Israel" or "The church is the new Israel" both of which are rubbished by the writing of the apostle Paul in Romans 10 where Paul makes it clear that Israel is the original olive tree and we Gentile believers are the wild olive branch which God has grafted to the tree of Israel. That makes us Gentile believers in Yeshua co-heirs with Jewish believers in Yeshua and there are many Jews now who believe in Yeshua as their Messiah, we are together the 1 new man in Moshiach Yeshua. The fact that God has not totally rejected the Jews is further corroborated by the fact that the first disciples and apostles of Jesus were Jews aside from the first church in Jerusalem before non-Jews came to faith in Jesus and nowadays more Jews are coming to faith in Yeshua and are accepting Yeshua (Jesus) as their Lord and Saviour in Israel and around the world further proving that God has not rejected the Jews from His redemption plan, in fact, they were the first to receive the Gospel for they were given the laws and prophets ahead of the Gentiles. Hence, Yeshua is the only way for Jews and Gentiles alike to be saved and to go to heaven.

     The second step is for Christians to realise that the Old Testament Covenant regarding the ownership of the land of Israel has not been cancelled and that this still holds true and is independent from the New Covenant regarding Salvation to Jews and Gentiles via Jesus' blood. Hence, the Jews are the rightful owners of the land of Israel, Jesus also said "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it", hence Christ Jesus is the entirety of the fulfillment of the law meaning giving one's life and heart to Him makes one righteous through faith in His work on the cross to bring us to the Father through his blood and the work of His Holy Spirit in us to bring us into line with His law instead of us seeking to be righteous through our own works through our will. As regards the ownership of the land, Bible prophecy in the Old Testament proves beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Jews are the sole heirs of the land of Israel and that the actual area that God had promised them is far greater in area than the area currently held by the Jewish people. Islam views this as a problem partly because lands once ruled and owned by Muslims cannot fall into non-Muslim hands anymore and partly because of Muhammad's wish to see the Middle East totally islamised as a foreboding sign of Islamic end-time prophecies coming to pass to which end terrorist groups like Hamas, Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad et al under the IRGC sought and still seek to foment the violent conditions wherein Jews are slain in Muslim hands in order to get the Islamic Mahdi and fake Eesa (Jesus) to return to the world in order to islamise the world. Our position regarding Israel in this regard is clear cut as Christians and we have to stand on Israel's side which would naturally align us with the Bible and God's will for Israel, the Jews and the world. However, we also need to recognise that siding with Israel would also bring us into conflict with the Muslims and their leftist supporters around the world. This is quite normal but we need not care about their false and deceitful arguments as if they have the moral high ground by making their bretheren look like hapless victims of a supposed unprovoked violence by Israel which is the fake narrative that they sell to the world even through leftist news outlets. On the contrary, we know that the ones who start the conflicts in the Middle East are Israel's Islamic enemies surrounding it on all sides that wish to see Israel wiped out contrary to God's eternal will for Israel and the Jewish people.

   Finally, the 3rd step is to know what the Islamic sources say on Islamic end-time beliefs and why Christians should know this. We will start off with Islamic end-time claims on Jesus. According to Islam, Jesus or as they call him Eesa would return to the world to break crosses and kill pigs. The phrase "break crosses" refers to yet another end-time goal of the Islamic Allah in a bid to wipe out Christianity as a belief system and Eesa would do this by denying his crucifixion to the Christians and showing them Islam as the right path proving yet again that Islam and Christianity are diametrically opposed at the level of their theology and can never be reconciled as belief systems. Therefore, Muslims do not see Christians as ones who hold the truth and likewise, since you as a Christian know this, if you love Jesus and knew any better, you would and should never take sides with Islam because Islam is an antichrist belief system that denies Jesus crucifixion from its inception to its end. As for the word "pigs", some Muslims see the pigs literally while others hold that it refers to those Christians who refuse to convert to Islam even after Eesa shows them that Islam is the right way because the Jizya tax would be abolished at the time leaving only 2 options for Jews and Christians at the time - i) Convert to Islam or ii) die, Eesa would do this before marrying and dying at an old age. Then, Islamic end times beliefs also teach that the most hated name before Allah is a man who calls Himself as "Malik al Amlak (King of kings)" who would side with the Jews in their defence against the Muslims - this is our Judeo-Christian Yeshua (Jesus) of whom the Bible says He is called the "King of kings" and who would come riding a donkey as per certain Sahih (authentic) Hadiths while bearing wound marks on his body including marks on his forehead while claiming to be the Messiah and would be blind in 1 eye which is like Muhammad's attempt to make our true Jesus look like the bad guy. So basically according to Islam, contrary to Biblical end-time beliefs, the Quranic Eesa would return to abolish Christianity while destroying Israel and the Jews as well as the One claiming to be Son of God named King of Kings who is none other than our Biblical Jesus.

     The 2nd figure we need to know about (aside from the Quranic Eesa) is the Mahdi of whom Muhammad wrote that he (the Mahdi) who is the Islamic Saviour figure would be like the most beautiful of the angels of Heaven and a descendant of Muhammad. We know from the book of Ezekiel as Christians that it is Lucifer or Satan who is the most beautiful of heaven's angels, therefore the Mahdi is the devil in the flesh who would deceive masquerading as a Saviour figure and this is identified as the rider of the white horse in the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse who is the Biblical antichrist who would have a mouth speaking great things with which he shall deceive many. Some authentic Hadiths or biographies of Muhammad also teach that the Mahdi would find the original Torah (Old Testament) and Injeel (New Testament) confirming the Quran and Islam in some place in Israel and bring them to the Christians to show them that they have the fake ones contrary to all history. This is further proof of Islam's evil, satanic origins, reasons for which we Christians should utterly abhor and loathe it with the utmost of disgust and revulsion, if we are sincerely standing true to our beliefs and love Jesus with all our hearts. The Muslim would nod his/her head and say "He, he, I love Jesus too and I love Jesus better than you". We as Christians know that to regard Jesus as a mere human being and a prophet is far removed from the notion of loving Jesus truly as Muslims make this statement to invite Christians to Islam as if this were a Dawah bridge aside from "we worship the same God" argument and also because miracles still happen in Jesus' name long after He rose from the dead and went to heaven to be with the Father and miracles will continue to take place in Jesus name even after He returns to take us home as Christians to be with Him, the Father and the Holy Spirit. This proves that Jesus is Lord especially in the light of the fact that no human prophet performs miracles long after he has left the Earth but Jesus still performs miracles. These miracles do not happen in Allah's name but in Jesus' name!  

 iv) What other details do I need to know about Islam as a Christian:
     
    If you are a woman, bear in mind that there have been plenty of stories of Christian women falling in love with Muslim men only to discover a different person after marriage and to end up losing their rights to their children who are almost always raised up by the Muslim man as a Muslims. The moment a non-Muslim woman decides to marry a Muslim man, the non-Muslim lady loses her rights to her children and is not allowed to raise her children in her original religion in the vast majority of cases. In Islamic countries like Pakistan and in countries where Islam is persecuting Christians like Nigeria, Christian girls are abducted by Islamic terror groups like Boko Haram, ISIS of Nigeria and these women are forced to marry Muslim men, renounce their faith and bear their children. This is a form of Jihad called "Seeding the womb" when a non-Muslim woman usually of Christian and Jewish origin but also of polytheist origin, is either willingly (as in love Jihad) or forcibly abducted and forced into such marriages and the government authorities in Pakistan for instance are on the side of the Muslim abductors against the Christian parents who complain to them. It comes as no great surprise that in such dual Western-styled Islamic countries that outwardly have the framework and appearance of democracies, the Islamic Shariat laws are the ones that have the pre-eminence and other secular laws are subject to them in order to protect the interests of Muslims and Islam in its goal of total and complete islamisation of such countries. Hence, we see in countries that mimic the West in their constitution and governments like Pakistan and Turkey, the few Shariat laws in place are given greater priority and importance over and above secular laws, so the outward appearance of being Western is just a fake façade behind which Shariat hides and rules the people in those lands quietly. Muslim women are not allowed to marry Christian or non-Muslim men because Muhammad made it that way since men in marriage naturally have the upper hand and in Islam, Muhammad wanted men to have the upper hand whence he encouraged his men to marry non-Muslim women so that those women and children would eventually convert to Islam whereas the same would not happen if a non-Muslim man marries a Muslim woman. Consequently, in such situations, the girl's Muslim parents would require the man to become a Muslim so that he can marry their daughter in some cases, As a result, we see that even in such marriages between Muslim men and Non-Muslim women, Islam is seen as a crucial criterion and is marketed as such. If you are a Christian woman and love Jesus, why would you leave Jesus behind for a man who would value you for not even a fraction of how Jesus would value you?. And if you are a non-Muslim woman of another faith, why would you allow yourself to be exploited and devalued as a person and as an individual as if you are inferior to any man out there because in Islam, the value and testimony of a woman is half that of a man since Muhammad said that women are worth half as men and half as intelligent as men?.

  The second detail is that once anyone becomes a Muslim, he/she cannot leave it without a death sentence looming large over his/her head. This is because Muhammad himself said in the authentic Hadith Sahih Al-Bukhari 6922, book 88, Hadith 5 "if anyone leaves his Islamic faith, kill him". Consequently, Muslims who leave their Islamic faith behind have a death penalty above their heads and in Islamic countries, members of their own families kill them aside from shunning them and ostracising them from their families. This is why an ISIS member killed his own mother once she left Islam in Iraq back when ISIS was in power in that region. This is also because Muhammad said in the authentic Hadith Sahih al Bukhari 15 as well as in the other authentic Hadith Sahih Muslim 44 that Muslims are to love him (Muhammad) above their family members. This detail gives us the reason why speaking against Muhammad leads to immediate death penalty in Muslim countries as opposed to speaking ill of Allah for instance which naturally begs the question "if Muhammad were just a prophet and Allah is the Islamic God, should not Allah be above Muhammad in importance in this regard as flawed and as primitive as this death penalty is?". Basically, we can infer from this that this is also why apostates of Islam are killed oftentimes by their own family members. Consequently in another Hadith a follower in Muhammad's time killed his own pregnant wife for mocking Muhammad along with her twins in her stomach which he later reported to Muhammad and Muhammad made it clear that the man who did it to his wife is to be praised and nobody should kill him. Aside from this, there are Hadiths where Muhammad's body fluids were consumed by men and women alike and Muhammad claimed that they would either go to heaven after death or would have no physical ailments thereafter. These are characteristic features of cult leaders, hence it would be no exaggeration to view Islam as a cult that extols death above life for its adherents in its founder's wish to see the whole world islamised. This is yet another proof that Islam is not good for the world because it kills its apostates.

    In Christianity, there is a clear cut separation of church from state. However, in Islam this is not the case because only 13% of Islam is a religion and the rest is a form of government and Islam and its rules govern every aspect of Muslims lives. Only a part of this includes matters of faith like fasting praying and so on. This means that Muslims become increasingly violent as their demographic grows in any host country and we see this in Europe currently because of the EU's lax immigration policies because of which Muslim men arrive with multiple wives in European countries that are Christian and have more children skewing the population in favour of Islam because in such cases, native Europeans have fewer children to uphold their population, fewer natives means fewer speakers of the host country's language and fewer carriers of the host countries cultural values since Islamic culture is exclusive from and incompatible with Western values like freedom of speech and expression, women's rights and freedom in general which were all products of the enlightenment of the Renaissance and had their roots in Western thoughts from their Greco-Roman sources aside from the Bible. Islam is also opposed to other forms of government including democracy. This is why crime rates have increased in Western European countries because most of the people who do these crimes against women and others who stand for their Western values like freedom of speech including their right to criticise a bad worldview like Islam are Muslim immigrants. There is also a concerted effort by Muslims and Leftists in the West to tarnish the image of the Western, Christian white man as the age-old oppressor of poor-innocent coloured Muslims from Islamic countries owing to past colonialisation by European powers of some Islamic lands in North Africa which were themselves formerly Christian before the Arabs colonised them and their Berber inhabitants at the edge of the sword. Hence Islam is evil because it is oppressive of non-Muslims and their rights. We need not look any further from Iran, even after many of the mullahs were killed, the remaining members are still showing the desire to rule the country under Islamic law contrary to what Iran's own inhabitants want as they have mostly became Christians and Zoroastrians far ahead of the current war of the US against the Iranian mullahs and their IRGC.
    
     
The final point I would like to focus on and for good reason is the Meccan-Medinan duality in the Quran and this is expressed by the Arabic terms "Mansook (abrogated)" and "Nasik (abrogating)". This shows that there were 2 periods in Muhammad's life - the Meccan part when he was peaceful and trying to get converts to Islam but to no avail and verses like "there is no compulsion in religion" and "Killing a man is as if he killed all mankind" were from this time, these verses are all abrogated by more violent passages from the Medinan part of the Quran which defines the latter part of Muhammad's life where he was mostly a warmonger and a conqueror using the sword and violence to subjugate all the Arab tribes in a bid to unite them under Islam and finally sought to do the same to the world and to this end wrote verses in his literature like Quran, Sira and Hadiths for Muslims to emulate the latter half of his life when he was a conqueror in order to conquer the world for Islam. Ramadan is when Muhammad fled from Mecca and went to Medina where he did not eat during the daytime. In essence, Ramadan is the celebration of a peaceful man becoming a warmongering terrorist for his God. Sadly, I see Christians asking Muslims for biriyani during this period as if the Christians have never tasted Biriyani their entire lives in a cheap fashion. Remember that every time you ask your Muslim friends for Ramadan biriyani, you are celebrating a peaceful man becoming a terrorist who lies about Jesus Christ and attacks our core Christian beliefs in the Islamic scriptures.

     This is aside from the other problems plaguing Allah's Umma like their lack of focus on their own lives and how they can contribute to the welfare of humanity in general, an area where the Muslim world seriously lacks. Of course, if Allah is preoccupied with what others believe and hates them for what they believe and lectures others on what to believe and what not to believe, how can we expect Muslims to be any different from their Allah and their Muhammad?. So after having heard all of this aside from Muhammad's convenient revelations about marrying multiple wives including his adopted son's wife and abolishing adoption as well as his marriage and consummation of his friend's 6 year old daughter Ayesha with whom he consummated his marriage when she was 9 and countless other scientific, historic, moral, ethical and theological errors. We understand that Islam is a violent, warmongering religio-political worldview hellbent on world domination for itself and destruction of every other religion and form of government other than worldwide Shariat which is bad news for non-Muslims, Atheists and other groups everywhere. We as Christians can clearly see why Islam is not just a Satanic counterfeit worldview meant to mislead billions of souls to hell in the afterlife but also a scourge and a cancer on mankind. If moderate Muslims care about their non-Muslim friends, the former would seriously consider forsaking Islam for another faith which is not as violent in its aim to take over the world like the Judaism, Christianity etc. Yes, Jesus makes it clear that it is the responsibility of every Christian to carry the Gospel message across to all but Jesus never told us to violently subjugate the masses to Christianity and force them against their wishes and desires to convert or rule over them with an iron fist where people of other faiths would be treated as if they are inferior beings to Christians the way Islam historically did it to other groups for which provisions still exist in their religious scriptures. Please check out my previous post on Israel and Islam and why Jews are hated by Muslims around the world to understand the background of Muslim hatred of Jews.

Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to hurt any religious group's feelings and hence is not to be wrongly perceived by Muslims and their Western Leftist Supporters as "Hate Speech against Islam" but this write-up's objective is to inform Christians about what Islam teaches about Jesus Christ so that my Christian bretheren know for sure what to expect when Muslims tell them stuff like "We love Jesus too" or "We too believe in Jesus". If you happen to be a Muslim or a pro-Muslim Leftist supporter in the West reading this, do yourself a favour and refrain from reading this post if it hurts your feelings because this post is clearly not meant for you but for Christians alone.
