The Common Beliefs and Values of the People of the Book with Muslims



Christian and Muslim belief have many aspects in common. Judaism too shares many beliefs with Islam. All true adherents of these three great religions:



" believe that God has created the entire universe out of nothing and that He dominates all that exists with His omnipotence.


" believe that God has created man and living things in a miraculous way and that man possesses a soul granted him by God.


" believe that besides Jesus, Moses or Muhammad, God sent many prophets such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Joseph throughout history, and they love all these prophets.


" believe in resurrection, Heaven and Hell and angels, and that God has created our lives with a certain destiny.





The beliefs of the People of the Book are in harmony with Muslims, not only in terms of faith-related issues, but also of moral values. Today, in a world where such immoralities as adultery, homosexuality, drug addiction and a model of egoism and self-seeking cruelty have grown widespread, the People of the Book and Muslims share the same virtues: Honor, chastity, humility, self-sacrifice, honesty, compassion, mercy and unconditional love…

So what's the problem?

I really dont understand .. but I certainly blame both parties!!

The muslim side is because of some violent acts that lead to nothing and just created hatered among non-muslims. They are not portraying the right pictures of Muslims .. just the violent one.


The other beleives is because they continue imposing the wrong picture. Yes there might be some muslims who are representing Islam but I am sure they know its not all about Islam!! The west emphasised the idea that everything Islamic is violent even if they didnt say that clearly. I also blame the governments who created hate inside muslim hearts. Why blame a muslim who saw all his family get killed by "non-muslim government" and not blame the initial reason that created that hate???
If those governments respected muslim and arab soviernigty they wouldnt have given muslims a reason to go for violence.
