It makes me wonder, since it seems that the big issue with Islam is other people not worshipping Allah, then why do Christians and Jews and Muslims fight? Allow me to explain.
Both Christianity and Islam draw from the Hebrew Bible, do they not? One could even say that they are both "reformed" versions of Judaism (I know that is oversimplification, but I think you get the drift). Also, the way I understand it, "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God," so in context in Arabic, thy refer to Allah as simply "God," in the same way that Christians do their God.
Back to my original point: if we all worship the God from the Hebrew Bible (the Christian Old Testament is the same thing, and I understand that the history of the world and such in Islam comes from the Hebrew Bible), then, even though we have different practices and beliefs concerning particular aspects of worshipping Him, we all worship the same God! So Christians and Jews are not necesarrily "no-believers," just non-practicers of Islam. We still worship the same God that you do.
we all don't worship the God from the Hebrew Bible but from Abaraham
I read some where that I don't remeber now where was it that Abraham and his faith immigrate from Babion to some where that today call palestine or Israel and Later Jacub and Josef are from Abraham's race (poeple migrated from Bablion to palestine
so by your logic it is better that worship all of muslims, christians and jews in version of Abraham
but this doing is like saying windows 98 or maybe MS DOS is better than windows XP
I accept that Islam and Christian using jews religious lecture and texts and Islam use christian religious text and lecture as windows XP have fundamentals from DOS but I don't like usage windows 98 except of window XP
in Islam has believe that God send for humans 124000 massenger and prophit including: Muses, Jesus, Muhammad, David, Zorthasht (prophet of anceint persians) and every other that you say
all of this prophets invite poeple to pray god and don't fellow Satan and concept of all massages of prophets are the same but understandings of people is diffrent
IMO all religions are like child of a man and some day in past that father say an important things to all his child and now that father is not between childs but can see and hear them, now in absence of great father jewish son say that father said us BLAH BALH but christian boy louldly say NO FATHER SAY US BALH BLAH and muslim boy with anger says HALB HLAB
and some minutes later they are fighting with each other
I belive in Muhammad because he was last person that met graet father, you can believe Muses because maybe you think he is older than others and any one else believe that Jesus is correct because he was favorite son of great father
I don't mean prophets misgive us massages of God but mean we poeples of world mistake the massage of God.
I wish you can understand what I said and can take my concept
I don't know very much about death penalty of converted EX-Muslims
ps: Do you have any informatio about prophets of non ME in Bible or other religious text of yourself?
I mean sometime I interested to know that who was the prophit of places like America or China. But can not find any thing in Islamic religious text and only find in them that all tribes and races of men have a massenger from God but only siad and refferd to prophets of ME region. do you know that your holy texts gives you some refrence to them.
I always think that why in Quran and other religous text of Islam and even christian and Jewish texts(I read some part of Bible in my university liberary but its near 4 or 5 hunderd pages in persian language and I have not enough Time to read bible completely)
so can I ask you and others in this site that read Bible and other religious texts, IS IN THEM IS A REFFRENCE FOR PROPHTES OF OTHER REGIONS AND ALSO WHOM FROM CHINA OR NATIVE AMERCA THAT THIER HOLY BOOKS REFER TO PROPHET OR RELIGIONS OF OTHER REGIONS?
(seems that on that time connection between poeple is very weak and God didn't want to poeples know of others in other regions!!!!)
In Islam we have only information about prophets of ME region.
