basic Islam teaching is to belive that God is One and denying that God is 3 which was tought by chrestianity, of course that implies denying the divine nature of Jesuse and the Bible is not the true words of God. But now muslems consider Mohammed divine interms of his words acts and almost every thing, even in some acts which other consider it wrong i.e marrying 9 years old girl and having 9 wives in the same time, muslems consider these acts are divine. Why muslem deny the divine nature of Jesuse and consider Muhammed's word and acts are divine? so in the begining the deny the divine nature of human but later gave that to Muhammed.

I did not intend to offend those of Muslem faith but aside from the examples above i.e 9 years old girl, muslems considers Quran to be divine and it is through Muhammed, it is like considering Muhammed divine him self and many people thik the Quran is not divine the same way the Muslems considers the current Bible not divine, this is just to make my question clear.

I am not chrestian or Jew I am free thinker and really my intention was not do some propaganda about Islam, I think some Muslems doing that with out out knowing it and they should consider their thought before they publish it.
So to rephrasre the question ti well give the same meanin ( why do Muslems think Quran is Divine? it is the words of Muhammed does this implies that Muhammed is Divine?

No Muslim would remain Muslim if they believe any divinity in our Prophet Mohammad peace and mercy of the Lord be on him and his progeny from this moment till the Day of Judgment. Everytime his name is taken, we FIRST say ABDAHOO or Slave of God, only then we mention that he is also the Messenger of the Lord Almighty.
How can you call a man who is considered the slave of God be attributed with any divinity at all. The Prophet said time and again that his greatest honor was that he was the Servant of such a wonderful God Almighty!!
We do not make his pictures precisely so that people in their love for him may not start to worship him.
As far as the marrying of wives is concerned, David married several women (I counted more than eight) and yet Jesus called himself the son of david. WHY? Ask yourself?
David killed his tens of thousand. Why did Jesus call himself the son of David. How many Germans would call themselves the son of Hitler, if they did not admire him?
Please think. ANY ACTION that you attribute to our Prophet, worse has been done by the Prophets and seers or Kings of Israel. Many Christians name their children after David, even though King David slept with a naked young girl when he was eighty years old (Kings 1).
The hypocracy of the Christians and some Jewish folks is amazing. The Christians have no problem in calling Jesus the Son of David, and Jewish folks admire David also, who killed his tens of thousands, sent a woman's husband to his death to marry his wife, who killed 2/3 of the prisoners of war he took in cold blood, yet have the temerity to point fingers at our Prophet.
Why did Abraham marry a concubine? Why did the Lord Almighty chose a polygamist such as Jacob or Israel who married two women and two concubines of these women from whom the chosen of Israel were born?
You can not say Jesus did not do this or that. When Our Prophet was the age of Jesus, he had not fought anyone, he had married only one wife and was a chaste bachelor for 25 years and was a strict monogamist for another 25 years. YET the ignorant ones focus on the last thirteen years of his life when he had more wives, most of whom were widows and old ladies except for Ayesha, who he married at the request of his companion, who wanted to either marry the Prophets daughter or have him marry his daughter to establish a blood relationship with him. David and especially Solomon, who was chosen to build the temple married many times the number of wives our prophet had.
So, brother Nabil, I would like you to be fair. But, then again it is silly of me to ask a Christian or Jewish person to be fair, who thinks the true prophets and sages and seers have a lesser standard applied to them, than a man they consider false Prophet but expect to apply a higher standard to him.
Why did God create the twelve tribes of Israel and bless them when they are the fruit of polygyny? Jesus himself is a fruit of polygyny, if you think about it. If Israel did not have four women to bear his twelve children, perhaps Jesus would not be born himself as Mary had the blood of many tribes of Israel.
Please know that what David did in our belief was right and some stories were attributed to him unjustly in our belief. Just so you know, it would be an honor for me to be considered the servant of King David even only in name. I just wanted to clarify that as well. In my personal view what David did was in obedience to the Lord Most High. My purpose of bringing him up is simply to show the hypocracy and double standards.
Lastly Jesus used Jerusalem as the platform for his preaching, which was won with much bloodshed.
I hope this answers your question.

Ahahaha.
You got that wrong, upside down and twisted around. The prophets Muhammad and Jesus were most definitely not divine. The Books (messages) they left for us are divinely sent. Unfortunately both are being translated from their original language and are being corrupted in the process.
The Bible Job 15:13-16
So that you vent your rage against God
and pour out such words from your mouth?
"What is man, that he could be pure,
or one born of woman, that he could be righteous? If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!
Folks that are telling you these prophets are divine are in manifest error.

Actually, you've got your facts wrong. Muslims don't think Mohammad is divine. NO ONE in Islam is divine AT ALL. That special aspect is held to God and God only. They hold Mohammad with the same regards as Jesus Christ, but as their main prophet. Mohammad isn't considered divine in any way. As for the marrying 9 year-olds and having 9 wives... it's not really encouraged in Islam, and it's more of a culture thing than anything else. Muslims don't consider this divine as well. Having young wives and more than one wife isn't DIVINE, it's just a remnant of an old culture. It doesn't really happen nowadays in first-world and second-world countries.
Also, why do you regard Islam in such a hateful manner? If my history teacher is right, then Christianity is the root of most world problems, starting from the Spanish Inquisition and even earlier than that. Christians believed heartily and completely in spreading religion by the sword -actually, they were doing it during the age of exploration ONLY for money. They massacred tens of MILLIONS of people in the America's only, never mind Africa and Asia. I think you should broaden your perspective a little.
The truth is, everyone manipulates their religion and twists it to suit their tastes. Why do you think those Muslim extremists are declaring jihad? They certainly have NO right to do so and what they're doing isn't even considered jihad. It's just a plain old war. They're stupid, really. And besides, Islam condemns war and fighting and jihad can only be declared under emergency situations -Islam actually discourages jihad. So you shouldn't really judge Islam by what a few extremists do, just as I don't judge any other religion by what their leaders do. It's good to be broadminded in a globalized society like ours. And if you plan on saying something like 'OMG she's muslim she hates all other religions', then all I have to say is that my best friends are Christian and Jewish. Who says we can't be friends? In essence, all three religions are virtually the same.

Muslims generally believe Jesus was sinless, prophet, virgin born, Messiah and coming again... but they virtually ignore anything written in the gospels claiming they are corrupt so the Jesus they mean is not the Jesus of the Bible
Muslims believe Mohammed was not sinless
I do not think they feel he is divine

We do not consider prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) divine. And he didn't have 9 wives at the same time either!
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married at the age of 25 to a 40 year old widow called Khadijah. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took no other wife until after her death, out of his love for her. The year of her death is known as the Year of Sorrow, because of the devastation that it caused him and it was also the same year in which his uncle and protector Abu Talib died. She was either 58 or 65 years old.

we consider Muhammad PBUH as the last prophet who complated whatever was sent from Allah earlier, inclusive of what was sent through Jesus (a very well respected prophet). We do not go by bible since there so many changed versions of this word of Allah but we still respect bible as a holy book. Muhammad PBUH did not ahve nine wives at a time and the story of his wife aged 9 is not very authentic either. There is data suggesting her age as old as 14-18 as well. Lastly we respect all prophets, peace to you all,

Muslims dont consider Muhammad as divine. Muhammad (PBUH) was a man, just like Jesus and Moses. They were all men with special miracles..men who came to earth only to deliver God's message. Before you start stating what you consider facts, do research to see why something happened. Stop your stupid propoganda.

If they believe that their prophet is divine because he married a 9 yr old then that is unfortunate. Jesus is God that's why he is divine.

Nothing is divine. Believing that Jesus is divine is just as silly as believing that Mohammed is divine.
