Rakim
Christian for 8 years. Studied Islam for past several months to understand where it is coming from and what it believes. Islam is a strict monotheism, and also a legal system and a social order. Its theology is based on Judaism and the Gospels of Christ, intellectually molded into another religion. It used Judaism as a source, and discredits that same source at the same time. Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet, even his miracle birth, but rejects all that He said. How can you accept a prophet and reject his ministry? I think Islam tries to have it both ways. They will accept all of the Jewish prophets, but then, say that they were Muslims, and change Hebrew historical accounts to fit Islam. Ridiculous. I admire their discipline and reverence, but there is a dark side in the teaching and obvious denials and distortions of facts and truths.
