The Virgin Mary and Muslims

[Anonymous]

The Quran identifies four women as being amongst the best in Paradise: Maryam bint 'Imran (Mary, the mother of Jesus), Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (Muhammad's first wife), Fatimah bint Muhammad (Muhammad's youngest daughter), and Asiyah bint Muzahim (Pharaoh's wife who saved baby Moses). These women are recognized for their piety, devotion, and strong faith.

Yes but she had children after Jesus.

In Mark 6:3 it says he had 6 siblings.

Jesus is believed to have had at least six siblings: four brothers named James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon, and at least two unnamed sisters. The New Testament mentions these siblings in Mark and Matthew

Protestant here, but this is a modern and overly-literal take. James and Jude both self-identify as brothers of Jesus in their epistles, and there are other mentions in the Gospels as you say, but the word "brothers" in this context has long been shown to be easily understood as "cousins" or "relatives". Furthermore, even if they are literal "brothers" that's not to say that they aren't stepbrothers who were sons of Joseph from a prior marriage.

This is not (only) Catholic magisterium: all the Reformers held to the perpetual virginity of Mary (look up Calvin, Luther, Cranmer, Vermigli, etc.).

Do Muslims traditionally acknowledge that the Virgin Mary is a Jew?

Yes, and Jesus, Moses, etc.. are considered prophets in Islam. It is an abrahamic religion after all.

Again, Islam is an Abrahamic religion. Meaning that Muslims consider their religion to be a continuation of Judaism and Christianity (“people of the book”)

So why do they hate Christians and Jews? Seems weird if they are all related.

Yes, very much so.

They don't hate. Only extremists hate. The immense majority of people of faith in the world, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, etc, do not hate people of other faiths.

You really need to get out of your weird media bubble if you equate Islam with hate. That's actually incredibly offensive for you to type out.

You mean they want to start a fight? That's fine. Calm responses that inform other readers of this thread are very helpful to combat anti-Muslim sentiment.
