Discrimination is a political and societal context. It has nothing to do with finer points of theology you're discussing.

There isn't especially much to debate here, you are correct.  What is important to clarify - although you may not accept that here - is the true meaning behind "Muslims respect Jesus and Moses as prophets."  What it really means is that "we think both Jesus and Moses were Muslims. We think they brought the same message as Muhammad but it got distorted along the way.  That's why Muhammad was sent to deliver the message again, and this time God made sure to protect the message.  Christians and Jews, we think your holy books have been distorted, only ours stands intact, and therefore only ours is the correct one. The way you interpret Jesus and Moses is erroneous.  The way we interpret them is correct."

(There is actually extensive Islamic "scholarship" out there dedicated to cataloging and "proving" inaccuracies and discrepancies in both Testaments.) [/quote]

I'm 7:01 and I agree with this. On these several threads, OP has said, without any qualifications, things like
- Islam treats women captives well
- Islam gives women equality
- Islam has the same Jesus as Christians, except for divinity

Either 
- OP is guilty of her micro-aggression #4 (OP assumes that others share her understanding of these statements and, crucially, that others [b]agree [/b]with this understanding), or 
- OP is deliberately glossing over key facts and differences for the benefit of the many DCUM readers who don't know much about Islam. This 2nd potential reason is probably the source of charges that she's trying to convert people, although OP may well be sincere in saying that conversion is not her goal here.[/quote]
