[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People like the OP are hypocrites.

You are Muslim, and have remained a Muslim. At least the remaining part is a conscious choice because you believe this is the right way, the one true way to be with God for eternity.

The same for your husband.

You cannot believe in only one true way, but then think that a different way is also a "beautiful way to know God".

If you fancy yourself a person of faith, it should be backed up with conviction. Otherwise you are just a hollow practitioner of rituals. [/quote]

OP here. Islam considers Christians and Jews as "people of the book" and hence people who have received prior revelations similar to the one Muhammad (PBUH) received. While I only consider Jesus to be a prophet of God, I view Catholics as a people with a legitimate pathway to God. [/quote]

Sorry, that's not possible. As a Muslim, you believe in worshiping God and only God, yes? Christians worship Jesus, as he is the Son of God and also is God. To you Jesus is just a prophet and cannot be worshiped together with God. So how can that be a legitimate pathway to God? The view that Christians and Jews are "people of the book" is convenient but not a universal view within the Muslim community. Certainly the foundations of the major religions are so different and the fundamental beliefs so at odds that it's more reasonable to assert that Christians and Jews are "kafir". [/quote]

If God, as set down in the Quran, says Christians are fine and people of the book together with Jews and Muslims, even though they believe in a triune God, who are you to second guess God?

The trinity is subtle but not polytheistic.  This was well known and understood in Muhammed's time and place and it's a sorry step backward that so many of today's Muslims have a less advanced theological understanding of christianity than people in seventh century Arabia had.[/quote]
