The Divine Messengers Three, and Their Words...

Thinking cosmologically, I noted this morning, in reading the Koran, that Jesus is mentioned by Muhammed and referred to as "The Redeemer." I was reading this book, because I had heard that Muslims acknowledged Jesus (Isa) as a prophet, but not the Messiah--the book of Sulah in the Koran provides a readin that I found compelling, wherein Muhammed refers to Isa as "The Redeemer," after a miracle that Isa performs...my point in all of this is that the two religions are in no wise mutually intractable, no more so than are Judaism and Christianity. All three believe in the same diety--ie., the God of Abraham (and the Arabic people, in fact , consider themselves Abraham's descendents). In fact, all our differences are monetary and political. We mustn't forget that, or allow diatribes of any ethnicity/office/extemity to blur our all-too similar beliefs into the basis of some ill-advised and maniacal crusade, which will only steepen the bloodshed in a world, in which the blood is almost up to the bridle, already. Go in peace, and God be praised.
