After the answers I recieved off my last question, it seems that Muslims claim that anyone who devotes there life to God is Muslim, including Abraham (and his kin), Moses and Jesus.
I'm not comfortable with that answer because it means that anyone who is not alive today can be labeled anything because they're not around to defend themselves. It's implying that Jesus and Moses would support curent day Islam, including their traditions and customs as well as beliefs. I'm Christian and I know Jesus wasn't a Christian, he was a Jew, and I'm not going around calling Moses and Abraham Christians.
At the same time, If i created a religion where Muhammad seemed to fit right in, do you think Muslims would approve of me using the name of their profit?
My questions are these:
Do you think people like Abraham, Moses and Jesus would call themselves Muslim if you were able to ask them today? Do you think they Muslims would be upset if another religion used Muhammad as a figure in theirs?

Jesus and Moses died hundreds of years before Muhammad did, so there's no way of knowing.
You have to accept Muhammad's teachings to become Muslim. Deny them and you're not Muslim.

Open a business selling religious items with the picture of Muhammed on them . Say you want to promote Islam . Prepare to have your head chopped off !
Actually the Sun Yun Moon (Moonie Religion) fits Muhhamed in the same way Islam fits in Jesus , and the Catholics fit in Moses .

As salam mu alaikkum sister "muslimah". here's a poem for you and all the different believing women... What do you notice once you seem at me? Do you notice somebody limited, or somebody loose All some human beings can do is basically seem and stare because of the fact they might't see my hair Others think of i'm controlled and uneducated they think of that i'm limited and un-liberated they are so grateful that they don't look to be me because of the fact they could want to proceed to be 'loose' properly loose isn't precisely the be conscious i could've used Describing women who're cheated on and abused they think of that i've got not got critiques or voice they think of that being hooded isn't my decision they think of that the hood makes me seem caged That my husband or dad are completely outraged All they might do is seem at me in concern And in my eye there's a tear not because of the fact I even have been stared at or made relaxing of yet because of the fact all human beings is ignoring the only up above on the day of judgment they are going to be the fools because of the fact they have been too ashamed to play by capability of their very very own rules possibly the adult adult males won't think of i'm a cutie yet a minimum of i'm crammed with greater inner elegance See I even have declined from being a guy's toy because of the fact I won't enable myself be controlled by capability of a boy authentic adult adult males are in a place to delight in my recommendations and are not busy observing my in the back of Hooded females are those relatively helping the Muslim reason The place that we play relatively merits applause i'm going to be known because of the fact i'm clever and vivid and because some all human beings is inspired by capability of my sight The clever ones are attracted by capability of my tranquility interior the back of their recommendations they want they have been me we've the potential to do what we expect of is sweet whether it capability putting up a existence long combat you notice we are actually not controlled by capability of a mini skirt and tight shirt we are given basically appreciate, and in no way taken care of like dirt so which you notice, we are those that are loose and liberated we are actually not those that are sexually terrorized and violated we are those that are loose and organic we are freed from STD's that have no treatment So whilst human beings ask you strategies you experience bearing directly to the hood basically sum it up by capability of saying, 'toddler its all stable!'

y only for non muslims? you are talking about us.
stop backbitting man.lolz
I think that you are just jealous. Muhammad is brother of Abraham, Moses and Jesus ( peace be all of them) and When Jesus comes back He will pray with the Muslims at Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
He will lead the muslims in prayer thus he will pray just like Muhammad(saw) Prayed.
The world will be in peace everyone submitting to Allaah(swt) and worshipping none but Him.
Jesus(as) will then die a natural death, as he is not dead now and he is in heaven, He must come back and die.
Islam is a blessed religion it started with a prophet Muhammad and will end with a prophet Jesus(peace and blessings be upon all Allaahs messengers and prophets)
[
2.136] Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.
[3.67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists.
[3.68] Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim are those who followed him and this Prophet and those who believe and Allah is the guardian of the believers.

The answer is to create your own religion where you invoke all worshippers of Muhammad as intrinsically believers of your religion, and see how quickly the death threats accumulate.

From a Jewish perspective, I can tell you that neither Abraham nor Moses would call themselves Muslims.
They were Jewish, in every sense of the word.

Jesus would not be Muslim, because the Koran and beliefs of Islam contradict what Jesus himself said about who he was.

Muslim mead the one with peace and with belief and obedience of One All-Mighty God, the Creator, the Benefactor, the Self-Sufficient. He who cannot be apprehended by human mind and no visible shape can express him. Any one with this belief is a muslim. All prophets of God from Adam to Jesus were muslims.
