Surah 4, Verses 157 & 158:
“and their saying : we killed Christ Jesus, son of Mary, The messenger of Allah - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so; and those who disagree concerning it are full of doubts; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; For surely they killed him not; but Allah took him up unto Himself; and Allah is ever mighty, wise.”
From the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), we get a more detailed account. The Muslim belief is that Allah changed the face of the person who betrayed Jesus, showing to the rulers the place where he was hiding, into a face resembling Jesus. So, they crucified that betrayer instead of Jesus and thought they killed him but that wasnt Jesus, he was already elevated to the heavens
The Quran says about God:
Say, He is the One and Only
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him.
So in the islamic tradition, we consider Jesus as a miracle of God but a human, he is not a God or son of God. We consider ALLAH to be unique. Jesus peace be upon him is in the heavens right now elevated to Allah, he will come back on earth at the end of times
Thanks for posting! Another reminder that I really, REALLY need to read the Qur'an.

Not true. I have been Muslim all of my life, I am a sunni and 90% of the Muslims i know are Sunnis and we don't go around wishing death to the Shi'a. Yes there are Sunni/Shia conflicts around the world but those are in very specific areas and very politicized , religion is really secondary in those conflicts even though people use religion's name most of the time to justify their actions.
I am sure you don't, and this is not about individual attitudes of Sunnis to Shias. Yes, it is political, but the whole Sunni/Shia split was political and has since been enshrined in the mainstream Sunni ideology, which serves to cement the dominant position of Sunnis over the Muslim "community", whatever that means (and it honestly means nothing in the absence of external enemy). Saudi textbooks, which AlSaud's money has spread around the world as the chapter-and-verse of true Islam refers to Shia blood and property as halal to kill and take over. Of course the conflict in Iraq is about political power but that feeling of entitlement to domination both politically and economically is very much a part of mainstream Sunni discourse bolstered by the ideology. If you don't know this, you simply haven't read it, which is OK, but don't say it doesn't exist.

You might want to read this http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/10/26/the-myth-of-the-u-n-creation-of-israel/ if you think the UN "created" Israel.
They question was Muslima, do you recognize Israel's right to exist? And I'll add another, is Hamas a terrorist organization?

They are all related. There are allegations made by Snowden that ISIS was created by the British, American intelligence and Mossad :
The former employee at US National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, has revealed that the British and American intelligence and the Mossad worked together to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Snowden said intelligence services of three countries created a terrorist organisation that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called “the hornet’s nest”.
NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet’s nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.
According to documents released by Snowden, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state “is to create an enemy near its borders”.

I can tell you one thing about ISIS. All the Muslims that i know say that I SIS are clearly non-muslims and trained assassins to serve Zionism. This is the current discourse in Muslim communities. The main basis, is that we do not bomb mosques especially ones made in respect of a Prophet. We love and respect all Prophets. . We do not drive out people of other religions from our land and call out to annihilate them.
OK. I was with you when you discussed Palestine but you're very, very off the track here. If ALL the Muslims you know think ISIS is clearly non-Muslim, you must run in very rarified Muslim circles or you are a recent convert. Because the mainstream Sunni discourse has always had a "submit or die" attitude to Shia, and a "raze'em down" attitude to Shia mosques, shrines and sacred places. The term "rafidah" wasn't invented by Zionists. See what happened in Iraq, and what's happening in Pakistan now. The ideology of the caliphate wasn't invented by Zionists. For that, you can thank our good friend and ALLY Mr. Abdullah Al-Saud and all his predecessors who fueled the Wahhabi filth and fanned it all over the world with petrodollars. Let's call things by their proper names.
