[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's necessary or fair to say anyone is having a childish persona on here. Maybe I didn't read all the posts in this thread, but who had a childish persona here?

I have not read Muslima's threads so I can't validate or stand in defense of her posts everywhere. I won't assume she's here on this thread unless she identifies herself. I don't see the point anyway, since we should be addressing substantive points in posts, not necessarily the people who write them.

If she wrote that Muslims see Christians and Jews as "equals" that is partially correct. In Islam, that is precisely how Muslims SHOULD view Christians and Jews. The proof of this is in these TWO Quranic verses:

In Surah Baqarah: "Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

And particularly in Surah Baqarah 2:136: "Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

HOWEVER, we know that many Muslims don't see Christians and Jews as equals and that is their failing. We needn't concern ourselves with those who do wrong deeds. If we concern ourselves with only those who misinterpret different faiths, we will fail to see the similarities between faith, which is more important.[/quote]
