Iknow Islam regards Jesus as one of the great prophets/teachers what do they say about his teachings
?

What does Islam say the teachings of Jesus were on subjects such as Love, Peace, and Justice?

Do you think Islam may regard Violent "Christians" as hypocrits?

1. Sura 57, Aya 27:
Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 10:42 AM by Occam Bandage
We sent Isa son of Marium afterwards, and We gave him the Injeel, and We put in the hearts of those who followed him kindness and mercy; and ( as for ) monkery, they innovated it-- We did not prescribe it to them-- only to seek Allah's pleasure, but they did not observe it with its due observance; so We gave to those of them who believed their reward, and most of them are transgressors.

As for whether Islam regards violent Christians as hypocrites? Well, er, sure. Islam regards all Christians as at least mistaken, but as People of the Book worthy of respect. When it comes to violence, though...well, Islam has an even greater doctrinal problem with violence than Christianity does, so if Muslims find a problem with violent Christians, they perhaps ought consider cleaning house a bit first.

3. Thanks for this. I believe the most powerful form of these dialogues occur
when BOTH sides are honest about how well they live by the values they say they uphold.
