Why don't Muslims offend Jesus as the Christians offend Mohammad?

Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it. -Rene Descartes

Well i dont think christiams have ever offended anyone.Leave alone muslims.Christianity is the most peaceful religion of todays world.

As a Christian I have been offended by Muslims all the time.For instance, saying Jesus is a prophet is offensive to me but even though I do not agree with your opinion I do respect your right to have one.

Well, i'm a Muslim, and i can assure you that in our religion we belive that Jesus is one of God's messengers just like Muhammad (peace be upon him), so we respect him and do not offend him. What we differ at (i mean Muslims and Christians) are the beilfs.. while we believe that Mohammad is the last messenger of God sent after Jesus, Christians dissagree. On the other hand, in Islam, we are orderd to respect other religions and cultures, and if we are to debate, we do not use bad language.. we use facts and other civilized methods. Anyway.. not all christians offend our profit Mohammad(peace be upon him), some treat us back with the respect we treat them.. like here where i live, we both live in peace and understanding.

Because Christianity is a religion of forgiveness, a concept foriegn to Islam. Jesus said every word spoken against him would be forgiven, how then could Christians react as the Muslims do, when their words are already forgiven by Christ Himself

They have no sense of humor.

This is really a very thought provoking discussion....I am thankful to delawar from hong kong for posting this thread..... Basically the Islam.... follow the sharia of Muhammad (PBUH)... the prophet of Allah.... He , Muhammad (PBUH)... no only acknowledged the Jesus and other prophets...but ... alos acknowledged that their sharia were the blessing of Allah. However... with the arrival of Islam... all the human being were asked to follow the sharia of Muhammad... One of the great scholar of Chriscianity of that times.... Warqa bin Nofel.... also ... recognized Muhammad as a prophet of allah.... Now coming to discussion.... The Muslim... respect all the prophets.... right from Adam to David , Jesus ,Moses to the last Prophet Muhammad. It is part of our Iman( Belief without which no one is muslim) to ackowledge all the prophets including Jesus and Moses as true as Muhammad(pbuh)...... Our Iman will be incomplete if we dont ackowledge the Jesus and Moses as true prophets of Allah.... So how one can expect from Muslim.... to say even a single word against..any prophet... if some one says... he is not the muslim... just may be muslim by name... On the other hand.... the Christians and jews and other non-muslims.... continuously opposing the Muhammad.... Here is the point.... Muslim never offended jesus... and Moses..... the others always offended the Muhammad.... this is the difference..... We respect other religions.... their prophets and sacred personalities... Cant we expect from others not to make adverse comments about Muhammad (PBUH)....

because muslims respect other religion and by the way JESUS is a prophet for islam, Muhammad didnt steer off jesus follower, jews steer off jesus follower from Islam. Bible is a lie, it's have been tampered by jews, the real holy book brought by Jesus is Injeel, Jesus was sent by Allah to lost sheep house of israel, he wasnt a prophet for all mankind but only to house of israel! Muhammad (saws) was the last prophet, bringing the last revelation Quran. so stop arguing, believe what you will, if you want money then go get some work, ok?

The Jews and Arabs are both descendants of Abraham's children. Ishmael, ancestor of Arabs was illegitimate to Abraham's handmaiden Hagar. Isaac ancestor of the Jews was his legitimate son to his wife Sarah. God made His covenant with Isaac, so the Jews are the true people of God.

Let me make it plain. Muslims offend Jesus by denying Him. Muhamud offends Jesus by denying him. Muhammud will not be among those Jesus acknowledges at the Judgement. Does this offend you, though you whited tomb. Jesus knew he would be profaned and so he said that those who speak against him woill be forgiven. His forgiveness is greater than Muhammud who can not forgive any offense, Ask yourself why? Jesus is God, Muhammud is man. Man is full of pride while God is full of love.

why dont you read this... this is from CNN: The Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups that includes al Qaeda in Iraq, issued a statement on a Web forum vowing to continue its holy war against the West. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified. The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

thats because jesus is believed to be a prophet of the people by the Muslims.. so, we give respect to him, but not as a GOD, but as a messenger of Allah.. and we know very well that what chrisitans are doing are not what jesus preached..

thats because ....... christians dont kill muslims ....... like the muslims kill the christians........

I know for sure that Christians have done more of their serves of killings in the name of Christianity. Hitler himself was a Catholic. the Crusaders even those who were killing Joan of Arc, thought she was demon possess. Now Islam do their killings too in the name of Islam but who do we individually serve, Islam...Mohammed...Christians...Christ.....Take your share and just stand where you stand.Muslims and Christians have enough killings on their hands to take them to HELLL....but if it wasn't for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.He came to die for you and me...as a sacrifice, we would not be seeing Heaven.That is why we Christians believe that Jesus came to die for our sins. Not Mohammed.I know Mohammed is a prophet to the Muslims.He is only a prophet.Christians believe that Jesus is not only a prophet .He is the son of the Living God.He came to set the captives free, to heal the broken heart, all you need to do is ask him into your Heart.

This discussion is very sad. There is so much anger and sarcasm and childish behaviour. The truth will all be known in the end when Our precious Saviour Lord Jesus returns. And no "suitsme", I do not type with marbles in my mouth and I find some of your responses rather non-Christian considering you say you are a Christian. I say peace and God's Love to you all as we are all God's children.

hey,i am a christian and i don't offend other religion believers,after all we all have the same god no matter how we name it,we all have hopes and believes,and we must respect eachothers ..i just can't stand people who offend my religion and that is when i react because i never asked anybody to believe in my religion,but if he doesn't ,at least he should have the decency not to offend me for believing

The POST is wonderfull and very LOGICAL. some guy SUITSME .... something like this.. OOF highly illogical i must say :) anyways .. Pray for all.. May Allah shows us and put us on the right path. its me ZIA from Pakistan

I am A Jew, I don't really have a side in this battle because I also don't believe in God. But, Hey, I hate being a Jew, I prefer being a chrisitian, than being a muslim.

Brother, Jesus is accepted as a prophet by muslims. as such muslims have nothing against the christians or the christ. jesus' message was misinterpreted and people started to worship him as god. Prophet mohammed was the last prophet sent to the earth to send the last message to all masses by god

Jesus is considered holy too by the muslims, while Mohammed who came much after the rise of Christainity is considered heathen and pagan by the Christians. I am not a Christian or Muslim
