i would love a muslim on here, so we can argue with someone who acttually know about islam.

Can you ask him to explain why :- Jesus is the christian version of "mohomad", they both preach love, forgiveness and peace on the path to a meeting with Divinity, muslims call it Alah, christians call it God, they are telling the same story in a different language, why is one right and the other wrong, who says that your path to divinity is not in a different direction to mine with the same meeting point (heaven).
Is it not the same as :- you and I meet at the bottom of a circle, you go left , I go right and we will meet at the top. Does that mean that one direction was the wrong one.

Then tell him to "take a smacking chill pill, mind your own business with regards to what other religions choose to believe and worry about your  own destiny. Now bugger off back to your war torn dump of a country slay some more human beings because they share their own interpretation of the Koran or the Bible and leave Australias multi cultural peace and acceptance the bugger alone!

Well maybe not the last bit

No shite Einstein. So explain why they both can not be saying the same thing, describing "their" path to divinity.
Is it not possible that jesus, muhomed, buddha the Dalhi Lama, and all these "messiahs" are describing to the world, in their own words the path to divinity. It still does not mean one is more or less "correct" than the other.
Every single country, town, village, settlement, state etc on this planet has rules or laws based on a "religious" belief, maybe there is one "goal" with many paths.

Basicaly what if all the different spiritual or religious belief systems in the world tell the same story with different metaphors. Still they kill each other over their differing interpretations, look at shi-ite and sunni muslims for bugger sake.

Pender that doesn't actually contradict what merou is saying.

I invited here, via email. 
Thought it only fair to warn him he may find some comments here insulting.
My experience is any criticism is an insult.

So anyway, hope he turns up.

good on you merou, now I can tell thim there is one other person would like to hear the muslim side from a muslim.

the catholic church excommunicated the Knights templar, and led their dismantlement process, the same cannot be said for muslim religious leaders interraction with islamic terrorist groups.

what i was getting at before is that each religion teaches not only a different "path" but also a different result, or "meeting point". And so for someone to say that Budda and Jesus or anyone else were trying to or even unconciously attempting to achieve a parallel ends is an uneducated assumption.

Yes budda and jesus were both trying to inspire people to achieve something greater but that is where the simmilarity between the two stops. One could say a school teacher trys to inspire his/her pupils to something greater, does that make every school teacher a messiah and every school book a bible?

Besides jesus specifically states that the only way to the father is through him, i dont know how clearer you can get than that. Jesus believed 100% that everyone else was infact wrong or at least less right, and so christians must hold that same belief.

Hinduism for instance teaches of no heaven but instead reincarnation.

Buddhism teaches of nirvana which is different concept to heaven.

ancient Norse believed the more people they killed in battle the greater their reward.

the only reason islam, christianity and judaism have such similar beliefs is that they addmittedly come from the same source.

How can you say that neither the norse or the christians are more or less right than the other, when one calls for less killing and the other calls for more? cearly one here is right and the other is wrong. Unless ofcourse you describe to the post modern belief that right or wrong is simply perspective.

which may i ad is the most contradictory belief possible.
