Ahmadinejad said that the religions of "Christ and Moses" as well as Islam are "all brothers. They all want the same thing."
What do you think?

Pure religion: arrived undefiled, and remained unspotted.
Impure religions: arrive defiled, and then get "worse"-end.
Above: Grace: Higher than the heavens
High: Law vs Law in the L / R heavens
High-mindead Law vs Law is as Loser vs Loser.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

He is correct. The God of Jews, Muslims and Christians is the same - the God of Abraham. Read the Quran for yourself if you doubt this.
However. the practices of each religion and of each sect within is very different. Each thinks they are "right" and all others are "wrong".
Here's a quote from the Reverand Pat Robertson (A Christian):
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist." -- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, January 14, 1991

You didn't know the three are all Abrahamic faiths, along with the Mandeans?
He's restating what he's said many times. People fuminate against the powerless little howler monkey's statements but forget a Jew sits in the Iranian Parliament and Jews live peacefully in Iran, as they have for millenia.
A couple of years ago, an Israeli newspaper had a long feature article on Iranian Jews leaving Isreal to return home to Iran. One said "In Iran, your word is all you need. In Israel, you need lawyers to get a businessman to pay his debts."

It is true that Islam accepts both Judaism and Christianity as 'religions of the Book', whose followers also go to Heaven. But I doubt Ahmadinejad is particuarly willing to go and hug a Jew. More likely, it's just more political posturing.

I feel the same way except that Ahmadinejad has yet to show that in his politics. It would be nice if he lived up to that.

They're all so close yet so far apart....
As rt66lt and squaresideways already said it all goes back to the shared belief of the God of Abraham, but it's like a sibling rivalry.....

I agree. It's all the same.
God > Jesus
Allah > Mohammed
Jor-El > Kal-El
All the same stories refitted to different cultures.

Cain and Abel were brothers, since he want's to wipe his Israeli brothers off the map, I'd say he's got a lot in common with Cain.

I dont think he means that . coz iran made problems between muslems themself(shiites and sunnis) iraq is a simple example for that , also (generally) muslems has a feeling of non-accepting the (other), the one who differs from him .

They are all intertwined and based on the "God of Abraham". I feel I can say this objectively, since I believe in none of them.
