Do you know where your holy book comes from and believe in every prophet? Are you free?

It is not that rigid. All religious and philosophical figures have something to offer a spiritual journey. Have you ever read a book where you believed every word? Well the old writings are the same. There is room to evolve and there is room to believe in the truth.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say ye, 'We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob and his children, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to all other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them; and to Him we submit ourselves.'
Surely, Allah has purchased of the believers their persons and their property in return for the heavenly Garden they shall have; they fight in the cause of Allah, and they slay and are slain - an unfailing promise that He has made binding on Himself in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Qur'an. And who is more faithful to his promise than Allah? Rejoice, then, in your bargain which you have made with Him; and that is the mighty triumph.
Say, 'Then bring a Book from Allah which is a better guide than these two books - the Torah and the Qur'an - that I may follow it, if you are truthful.'
And they say. 'None shall ever enter Heaven unless he be a Jew or a Christian.' These are their vain desires. Say, 'Produce your proof, if you are truthful.'
Surely, those who believe and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabians - whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds, shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.

Muslims are taught to respect the people of the Book(i.e. Christians, Jews.)

Why respect ALL the prophets, when the bible tells us that some of them are false prophets? Like Mohamed, for example.

..the Christians believe in what every prophet says ..because it is a chain ..a link ..who sends you to Jesus Christ .
so everyword of the Bible...every word that the prophets of the Bible said..comes from God....because Hw showed up to these faithfull people and told them what to say...
so if you are a real christian , you must believe in all the books of the prophets ..this is a part of faith ..of believing in God ...because they believed in God..because God has talked to some of them and has shown up to some of them....so we due our Faith even to these prophets who didn't sin and God loved them, talked to them and shown up to them...in order to send us His will and His ,....words...His feelings and his wrath..

Read "Prophesy's" answer and then tell us if there is one single error in his quotes from the Koran. Then tell us how all those quotes relate to "the religion of peace".

With quotes like these, you'd be stupid NOT to follow their prophets. They'll "kill" you if you don't!
---
"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends." (Koran, al-Ma'idah 5:51.11)
"Ignore disbelievers and their poisonous talk." (Koran 33:48)
"Stay away from non-Muslims. They are all liars." (Koran 9:107)
"WHOEVER CHANGES HIS ISLAMIC RELIGION, KILL HIM." Sahih Al-Bukhari (Koran 9:57)
"Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies." (Koran 22:19-22:23)
"SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVE AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH." (Koran 9:5)
"I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them." (Koran 8:12) (Wow, who'd have thought that even Allah approves of terror? It's all there, INSIDE his own book!)
"They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides." (Koran 5:33) (Again, speaking of nasty things that should be done to unbelievers. Big shocker there.)
"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets." (Here is what the suicide bombers are promised by their god for becoming a "martyr". Despicable.)
"Disbelievers fight for the devil. So fight the minions of the devil." (Koran 4:76)
"Those who deny Muhammad's revelation are evil." (Koran 7:177)
"The worst beasts in Allah's sight are the disbelievers." (Koran 8:59-8:60)
"He accused the Jewish tribe of the Bani Quraytha of wanting to betray him and the angel Gabriel ordered him to attack them. He went to them, put them under siege for 14 days. Finally they surrendered. So Mohammed killed all their men, enslaved their women and children." (Saheeh Muslim - 1769)
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, ... until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." (Koran 9.29)
Sadly, I could keep going with Koranic scriptures that are almost identical to those listed above...but I think you get my point. "Religion of peace?" I think not.
Any Muslim who has read their own "holy book" will not deny that the above stated quotes are true. They are paraphrased, of course, but the meaning is still the same. I've read deep into the Koran, just so I could understand their way of thinking a little better. I once thought that non-extremist Muslims didn't believe in this violent propaganda, but unless they're denying a great deal of the Koran's words, they do believe in it and just aren't telling you.
