According to Islam, Mohammed and Jesus were Prophets, right?

Question

So why we don't see muslims defending 'anti' Jesus remarks the way they defiantly defend similar remarks against Mohammed?

Answer 1

the difference between what people say in regards to both prophets is quite different. where as muslims and christians both believe in the religious miracle of Jesus's birth and the fact that he spoke the word of God and preached it to the people, we differ on Jesus's true claim to fame, prophet or son of God. so in fact, Jesus himself is not villified in anyway.

however, christians do not accept prophet mohammed as a true prophet of God and so do all they can to villify him....which means muslims spend an inordinate amount of time defending him agains christians and proving his prophethood.

i dont actually remember hearing any anti jesus remarks...care to elaborate.

Answer 2

You have your facts wrong. It is true that Muslims believe in Moses and the Old Testament (what you are calling "the Original One") part of the Bible, but they do not "believe in Jesus" in the sense that Christians do, and do not accept the "New Testament" portion of the Bible, which is most important to Christians. The New Testament is the story of why Christians consider Jesus as more than a teacher/prophet, the way the Muslims and Jews see him. For Christians, the Bible is both the Old Testament of the Jews and the New Testament - the story of Christ. You are also mistaken that Christians don't know anything about Islam or try to learn about it. I have spent a few years learning about it, and in fact have written and published articles on it. So I understand a lot about it. I know a lot of Christians who do. At any rate, your words show that you don't really know a lot about Christianity either, except some untruths. How can you expect others to do more than you yourself do?

Answer 3

Muslims do defend Jesus and glorify him
the idea is the raid of attacking Prophet Mohamed is fierce and they have to defend him as much as they can
Another reason is that most of attacks belong to European people , so Muslims have little channels to contact with them

Answer 4

We do as a matter of fact. In our homes we don't watch programs that portray Jesus or show images of him, we don't own images of Jesus.
But there is no way we can say to others who worship Jesus they are not allowed images.
But for those of us who respect all of Gods prophets we don't use make or watch images of any of them.
We always say we love Jesus and respect him as a prophet. I could never sit back and not defend Jesus just as I would Muhammad.
Same goes for Adam and Ibrahim and Moses and and and ...... Get it?

Answer 5

Muslims never question the sanctity of any apostle of Allah (God). We respect Jesus (AS) as much as we respect Muhammad (PBUH). Because our religion requires us to believe in followings:

1 - Existence of Allah,
2 - All books of Allah,
3 - All Prophets of Allah,
4 - The day of resurrections.

If we do not believe in any of aforesaid, our faith does not complete.

If a Muslim who question or hear against Jesus (AS) can not be said as true believer.

Answer 6

Because to them Jesus is a lesser prophet than Mohammed. They don't recognize Jesus as God, they think that's blasphemy.

Answer 7

Muslims do defend Jesus (pbuh) but frankly Christians have more claim over him, since they consider him to be God. So when comes to certain things that conflict, I can't defend.

Answer 8

HA! Here's one Muslimah who always defends Jesus (pbuh)

Answer 9

Because everybody loves Jesus (pbuh) no one disputes about him,all the misunderstandings is about Muhammad (pbuh).

Answer 10

Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet, and he will return again,
