why do christians prefer Jews over Muslims even when we muslims believe, respect, and love Jesus, as one of the part of their faith and accept him as a Messiah and one of the mightiest prophet of God. On the contrary Jews abuse Jesus and declare him as false prophet, and insult his mother, which is very offending to Muslims too.

Strange isn't it? That Christians preference for Jews is greater than their preference for Muslims. Common sense would say that since Jews believe Christians to be completly wrong that their support especially for zionist Jews is misguided at most. Most Christians don't know that we Muslims believe Jesus is the messiah as well. It isn't common knowledge for them. I know I was raised Christian and converted to Islam after years and years of studying Judaism, Christianity and Islam. BTW, one of the big reasons Islam interested me so much was because Jesus did have a role in Islam. I had gone so far as to study "Orthodox Judaism" and go to synogogue before God finally brought me to Islam.

salaam to erryone..
what christians and jews need to be aware of is that us muslims believe that if christians and jews follow the teachings of their Prophets Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus) (may peace be upon all of them), they will also enter Jannah (Paradise) inshaAllah (if God Wills).
we have the utmost respect for the Prophets (may peace be upon all of them) that came before the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and we believe that this Prophet (pbuh) is the Seal of the Prophets (i.e. the last Prophet to come).
no where in the Christian scriptures does it say that Jesus claimed he was God.
logically speaking, how can one entity be a God, the Holy Spirit AND the Father of God?
in order for an entity to be a God, that entity has to be perfect, untouchable, infallible and above humans and all the creatures of this world/universe.
That entity must be All knowing, Merciful, Beneficient and Omnipotent. How can that God have faults?
That God must be Perfect in every sense of the word, there must be no deficiencies in that God.
Think of this analogy: you have a car. it has various components. who made it? who designed it? the designer?the engineer?the manufacturer?the creator?just think over an answer to this analogy. we will come back to it in due time inshaAllah (If God Wills).
The Holy Qur'an contains facts (scientific) that have been proven now. It contains corroborated facts about the mountains, the sea, the universe, embryology, the nervous system, history, blood, cells, and much more besides.
the Quran was revealed 1400 years ago, yet the scientists have only recently discovered these facts. How do you suppose an illiterate man attained these truths?
remember that analogy that i gave you before? about that car? well us muslims call that creator/designer/manufacturer/designer (or whatever synonym you want to use) the Almighty, ALLAH.
so next time anyone wants to debase or vilify Muslims, please do us the courtesy of reading up on the true Islam from authenticated sources and not what is portrayed in the MEDIA by people who know little about Islam, yet become scholars in it overnight!
just a final question.
when hitler was massacring thousands of jews...did the world blame CHRISTIANITY?
when mussolini killed all those people, did we blame CATHOLICISM?
if a person is driving a car, which runs completely perfectly, and the driver cant drive it and crashes it, would we blame the CAR? or the driver?
so when a misguided person within the religion of Islam commits a crime, why is ISLAM on the line?
just remember, there are 'black sheep' in all communities.
Islam is a perfected religion, there is no fault in its regimes.
The Holy Qur'an and the ways of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are an inspiration and a truth to all of mankind.

The Jewish community has no official position on Jesus, though there are Jews (and Jewish texts) which have insulted Jesus. Islam, on the other hand, does have an official position on Jesus, and it is one openly contrary to Christianity: that Jesus is not God, not the son of God, not part of a Trinity.
From a Christian perspective, Jews are God's chosen people; the Bible speaks positively about them and is even adamant about how salvation comes from the Jews (John 4:22), all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26), and salvation goes first to Jews then to gentiles (Romans 1:16). Read the book of Revelation, and you'll see that even at the end of time the Jews are central to God's plan (e.g. in Rev 7, the saved Israelites are mentioned first, then the saved gentiles are mentioned - in Rev 21:12 the names of the tribes of Israel are written on the gates to the new Jerusalem, et cetera).
Muslims, on the other hand, are something entirely different. Islam is one of many gentile faiths in contradistinction to (and sometimes hostile to) Christianity. Therefore, while the Bible sort of forces Christians to respect Jews, despite theological differences, Muslims get no such respect, and thus they come off as the adherents of a quasi-Christian heresy.
That being said, while I disagree doctrinally with Islam, I still think it is a faith which has many beautiful parts, and that it has much to offer to the world.

My understanding of the Christian religion is that they are not suppose to pre-judge people, and love their neighbor.
I think it's because Jesus was Jewish, and their religion was started by a bunch of Jews.Then it became popular in the non-Jewish population at the time. Then I think it's also because in their Bible it states that Jews are the "chosen" ones. But if you ask me I think we all equal.
Yes, Muslims see Jesus as prophet and we don't. Actually we don't abuse Jesus at all. Actually we don't care for the subject too much. The reason why we say he's not right about him being the who he said he his. Is well because honestly he didn't do the things that the Moshiach said he was suppose to do. Honestly I never met a Jew who insults his mother.
I think offending ones mother is pretty much offensive in any culture/religion.
I know people who are Christians, Jewish and Muslim some are nice and some are just jerks.
Plus don't you remember the crusades they didn't like either of our people. Not to mention there are Christians out there who really don't like you or me.
The only thing I don't like about Christians is when they think I'm going to hell because I don't believe in Jesus.
Okay Jews doing things to Muslims on a daily basis. You can't judge Jews on the basis of some bad apples.
Honestly I have never done anything to a Muslim on a daily basis. My best friend growing up is Muslim. We are still best friends as of today.
Seriously not all Israelis are how you say. Okay so some of them are complete freaks, but seriously there are freaks in every culture. Suicide bombers are extremist and make other Muslims look bad, why don't you look at that?
My friend is in a wheelchair for life, do you know why because she was at a bus stop right outside Tel Aviv. She never did anything to anyone her only crime was that she is Jewish, she's not even a Israeli citizen she went to Israel after high school. Are you telling me that the Palestinian who basically ruined her life did not do anything bad?
Don't stereotype people based on assumptions. ;)

Being jewish myself, the jews are those who wrote the bible which the Christians believe in. The Jews are the people of the holy land, not the muslums. Christians support the old testament, which gives Israel to the jews, so they support the jews. Also, NOT TO OFFEND, but overall the Jews are not as radical. Ifjews were to go around blowing themsleves up, other jews would stop them. This is not the case with Muslums. Next Jews prefer diplomacy over suicide tactics. Lastly, the U.S. has a larger Jewish population than muslum.

One simple reason is because the Jewish people I know usually shrug their shoulders when we talk about Muslims, but the Muslims on this board nearly always repeat the lies they've been taught -- "On the contrary Jews abuse Jesus and declare him as false prophet, and insult his mother, which is very offending to Muslims too."

Christians consider Jesus the "King of the Jews", and that's how they dominate themselves over Judaism.
They can't do that with Muhammad (pbuh) because he appeared chronologically after Jesus (pbuh) and after Christianity was established. It is easier for them to claim that Muhammad (pbuh) is a false prophet than to accept the idea that it is very possible that their (and our) God would've renewed His divine message to mankind through Muhammad (pbuh).
It's incredible how ignorance oozes out of the mouths of those who say "don't blow themselves up"....These are the people to have forgotten how ugly, and horrific historic Christian criminals like Hitler, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusaders...etc were, and still are till today...short term memory is a blessing, I guess...

"In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate".
Symbol of the character of JEWS, in 587 before Jesus (Peace be upon him), When Hazrat Yahaya (Peace be upon him) was beheaded then not a single JEW spoke against it.
JEWS not accepted Jesus (Peace be upon him) bcoz he not gave lives to all dead JEWS & not killed the rest of the world. Now tell me is there any one more idiot than JEWS.
JEWS not accepted Jesus (Peace be upon him) other reason is the he got humiliating crucifixion and it will not happened to true prophet which is not true. He was not crucified and he will be back to prove JEWS to prove the claim of them that they MAAZ ALLAH killed Jesus (Peace be upon him) as wrong.
All JEWS will be killed by Jesus (Peace be upon him).

Christians prefer Jews because 99% of the terrorists running around today are Muslim.
It is MUSLIMS who are attacking the troops in Iraq.
It is MUSLIMS who did 911 and other terrorists attacks around the world.
It is MUSLIMS who are calling for wiping another nation off the face of the earth.
It is MUSLIMS who go nuts over every perceived slight.
Comparing Jews to Muslims is like comparing a friendly purebred terrier to a mongrel stray with rabies. One will play ball with you, the other will try to tear your throat out if you give them a chance.
Clear?
