I think you know inside yourself Yadda that it is your religion that takes a human being to be their deity, and that we as Muslims reject this idea, and consider anyone who deifies a human, to be a disbeliever.
Abu,
Was Abraham mistaken too ?
Did Abraham take a human being to be his deity, by mistake ?
Quote:
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
Genesis 18:1 - Genesis 18:8 (KJV)
Abu,
What you are saying, is that the God of creation, cannot manifest himself as a man ?
Maybe your god can not !
His only 'manifestation', was 1,400 years ago!

I am glad you are beginning to see there's something wrong with such a belief though, that is your first step. If you could just suppress your irrational hatred and fear of Islam/Muslims, maybe you could see the light.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
