Gento, I've taken the time to look over your set of questions and find you are misusing YA to promulgate your misbegotten views on religion.
Following this answer, I will see if Yahoo! agrees.
As for the reason the Islamists are nearest to Christ's birthplace, it's because they made war on the region, grew their population there and have been thrown out of all the other contiguous places following WW I. The Caliphate is over and will never return.
Christians, Jews, agnostics and atheists all have a need to study the words of the Q'ran because it's important to understand the adversary.
The Koran is about 30% Sufi mystical gobbledygook interspersed with thinly veiled political guidance coupled with religious intolerance and trickery designed to lead to world domination. The "peaceful" religion teaches peaceful acceptance of other religions while Islam is the minority, and domination by taxation or outright murder when in the majority. There is NO separation of "church and state" and they are one unified authority in Islam. The Jews tried the unified religion and secular systems and gave it up as a bad job some 2500 years ago. The Catholic Church tried to combine politics and religion and gave it up 500 years ago.
Muslims should give it up now and stop trying to resurrect the Caliphate. The Ottomans will never return and those elements of the religion and its leadership should be disowned and disavowed publicly by all Muslims.
Now you've had your answer. Now I will contact Yahoo!

When Jesus was born and preaching, the area was inhabited mostly by Romans, Greeks, and Jews with scatterings of other non-Arab peoples like Assyrians, and Babylonians. The Arabs were minor nomadic desert tribes mostly living on the Arabian peninsula. Only with the rise of Islam, did the Arabs spread out and eliminate or force many of the local inhabitants (especially those who would not convert) to move out of what are modern Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. The reason Muslim teachings are not regarded by Christians is because with the Revelation of John, God indicated that the prophetic cycle was complete meaning He would not add any new scripture or send any more prophets until the beginning of the great Tribulation of the Jews.

The area in which Christ originally preached is currently controlled by Jews, not Muslims. The Muslims WANT to control the area, which is why they are constantly harrassing Israel. The Apostles who went out to plant churches after Christ's resurrection spread out to Greece and Europe. There is no mention in the Bible of them spreading eastward toward Babylon, which is where current Iraq is.
The Muslims and the Jews have a common ancestry in Abraham; a few thousand years after Abraham, Mohammed believed that a single angel revealed to him the Koran. This "angel" was likely Satan in disguise, because the message of the Koran was to acquire converts by the sword. Christ never condoned using the sword to gain converts, even against enemies. If the Son and the Father are one, as Christ asserts, then the message in the Koran is false, because the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit never, ever contradict each other.

I would say it is not so much about where Jesus was but rather who he was and what he said. There are a number of things about the Muslim faith that would put many Christians to shame. The problem is that the differences in the Koran and the Bible are not reconcilable. If one is true than the other cannot be and vice versa. You cannot have two contradicting truths. Therefor you can't accept both Muslim and Christian teachings both to be true or you would be a hypocrite.

The Muslim religion, Islam did not start until 500 years after Jesus died. Islam takes books that did not make it into the bible and other materials and put them into their own version of Jesus teachings through Muhammad.
Modern day Muslims wish us to believe that of continuity of scripture is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion.
However what they won’t tell you is that the god Allah was a pagan deity and Mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.
Islam is nothing more than A REVIVAL of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god.

As Christianity spread throughout the gentile world, Europeans became strong followers. Unfortunately they also had some very strange ideas on how to practice it. The Crusades and the Inquisition are not high points in the history of Christiany. Then, Europeans went back with the same question you ask - why aren't Middle-Easterners all Christians? When they wouldn't submit to European logic, the Crusades beacame the method fo spreading the Good News. The Crusades targeted Jews other Middle-Easterners. Killing others for Christ was a good way to develop bad attitudes against Christianity, and a bad way to evangelize. Out of anger, a small Arab pedophile created his own religion of rage & hatred to combat the version of hatred being mistakenly spread in the name of Jesus.

At the time of Jesus, the area was not arab. While arab traders did travel through the area, the resident populations were not arab. Arabs only came to the area in the centuries following the rise of Islam.

Actually if u really study the way jesus preach and prophet muhammad preach its quite similar. this is because both religion believe in one god. the are other teachings that are similar such as chatolics prohibit abortions, islam too prohibit abortions. jesus never migrated to france mind u. his followers who migrated toi france and spread strong christianity there.

When Jesus was born, there were NO Muslims. Mohammad didn't make up his scam for another 650 years after Jesus' death. The Muslim ways and teaching aren't important to Christians because they are not true ways. Read the book,"The Truth About Mohammad." Find out what I have been saying is true for years, the jerk was a con man.

If you want the truth, i will tell you the truth.
The truth is that Jesus was born in Palestine to ask the Jewish people who falsified the holly Torah to be christian , so Allah (God) sent Jesus as prophet of Christianity for them but they were so disobedient and they refused to follow him ,so they planned to kill him but they could not because Allah protected him by took Jesus to be with him, but at that time the Holly Bible also falsified and Allah decided to send another prophet who is the last one to hold the truth flag who is the prophet of Islam Mohammad (peace be upon him).
