The Gods of Political Correctness dictate that all religions are of equal worth; that there are “…three great Abrahamic religions,” and “The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.” All three of these sacred cow clichés need to be slaughtered on the altar of truth.
While Christianity and Islam are both offshoots of the Jews and took from them the concept of having one’s own holy writ, their self-definitions as new faith communities were radically different. The Koine Greek language narratives that Christians append to their version of the Hebrew Bible purport to be a continuation of Jewish history. The Catholic Church even defines itself in Latin

Since when are the Muslims the off shoot of Jews. I have read portions of the Koran and their god is a vengeful god where forgiveness is not an option. They practice taqiyya which means it is OK to do what it takes for Islam no matter how horrible. The Judo Christian God is one of forgiveness as long as you truly repent.

Islam is not a religion, period.

Islam rejects or rewrites both the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) and the Christian scriptures.
For example, Islam features a “Jesus”, but its Jesus did not die and come back to life. He was merely stunned on the cross and got better.

Very interesting. In the Mass at the prayer of the Canon, we refer to "Abraham, our father in faith". The great prophets of the Hebrews are saints in the Catholic church. Islam is a johnny come lately.

islam a religion? No, it's a political ideology and as that it's fascism. It is totally at odds with the civilized world.
It has kept its adherents in the dark ages. On purpose.

#4, about the year 250 there arose a teaching that Jesus did not really die on the cross but only appeared to. It's called Docetism and was condemned by the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. It stayed around and I think Muhammed was exposed to it - hence its appearance in the Koran.

"Ishmael is expelled (Genesis 21:9) from his father’s Promised Land for his antediluvian propensity for violence. His expulsion at age sixteen came about when he jealously mocked his little half-brother Isaac at the latter’s weaning "
The references to Ishmael in Genesis 21:15-17 (when he and Hagar are expelled) are of a little boy, not a 16-year old. Although this article has some good points, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. (Depending on how much other stuff was misrepresented, it might be best taken with a big salt lick, and not just a grain....)

Ishmael was 14 when Isaac was born. It was after the feast of Isaac’s weening when Ishmael was expelled. He was at least 16.

All roads lead to God, if you are sincere. NNNNGGGHHH! Wrong answer, Hans.
Jesus claimed to be THE way. The apostolic letters supported this, too.
Accept it or reject it, but you can't ride the fence.

Islam is a seventh century barbarian death cult invented by a child molesting warlord.

Many of those Arab tribes are the progeny of Abraham and the tent-girl, Hagar. But he sent her packing, along with the b-tard son, Ishmael. Isaac was the True Heir of the family line and inherited all that was Abraham's.

Islam is no religion at all but a D I S E A S E infecting the soul of humans and turning them into monsters!

The middle east is filled with people who are upset that the descendants of Isaac were chosen, and they were not. Descendants of Ishmael, descendants of Abraham's 6 sons by Keturah (after Sarah died), Lot's descendants (Ammonites and Moabites), Laban's descendants....
The bottom line - God found only a few people worthy of very special treatment. Noah, Abraham, and Enoch and Elijah (who never died). Noah and Abraham had descendants that really messed up, but they still got benefits from descending from a God follower.
The good news - thanks to Jesus coming to our rescue, we now can also be in His favored people list.
