True Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all have the same roots and the same message - worship God and love one another. Buddhism is a philosophy of life that stresses peace and harmony above all else. If you follow these four pathways, I can see no reason to reproach you. Yet you, and many like you, have been persecuted not for who you are, but for who people see you to be. They let their own prejudice blind them to the truth. The only thing you can do is refrain from retaliation and continue to live as God desires. You may never change their minds, but at least you will be blameless and able to stand before God without shame.

Many people have been persecuted for their beliefs. My best friend converted from christianity to Islam and was told by all of her christian friends she was going to hell for disowning Christ. She lost all of her friends but me.. I'm confused by the amount of hatred and scorn and judgment thrown into the hearts of very religious people.
However, knowing a lot about Islam-- I know that it is not possible to be both a Muslim --- who worships God alone--- and combine that with other religions. Although in the Quran it speaks respectively of 'people of the book' which means people of the Holy scriptures that you listed above--- you can not be a Muslim and Christian at the same time, because that takes away the very essance of being a Muslim, which is God is above all and above having a son. It says in the Quran that there is no Holy Trinity. However, I know Muslims believe that Jesus will return on Earth. I dont know where Buddha comes into the picture either, if you claim you are muslim.

I suppose people dont understand you.
However, I was raised that an individual has the right to believe what they want. But even here in America you can feel the retaliation for believing in anything that has to do with religion: here, in a country which was founded on religious freedom: you get critisized for being religious. Good luck.

You are only christian if you worship Jesus.
As far following the Torah and Injil, and Buddha, the teachings that are left makes you Muslim. I study Buddha and find his teachings to be Islamic, I honestly believe there is a great chance he was a prophet of God, he rejected the prior religion that worshiped multiple gods. many people believe Buhddha is in the Quran as Dhu'l Kifl.


As a Muslim, you realized that revelation has come to different people and truth is widespread. the whole world is a Quran, Allah tells us to seek knowledge.

So you are only a Christian if you worship Jesus, if you think Jesus is just a prophet and seek knowledge, you are just a true Muslim. It just a highly level, I believe the way you do, I use the Quran as a truth meter. Buhdhism is so Islamic, the "Middle course" to medidtate, do good deeds and join in mutual teachings.

Why not join the human race instead of trying to destroy it ?
that might stop most of what you consider persecution....
