I often find myself wondering that, because to me, Mohammed just seems like what Jesus would've been if he lived in a completely different environment.

Jesus lived under the scrutiny of the Roman Empire, which was at that time, the strongest and mightiest power on Earth. He came as a teacher to the Jews, and made it very, very clear that his teachings were for the Jews only. He didn't engage in war or have any slaves because frankly, there was no reason to. That's not why he was sent.

On the other hand, Mohammed lived in the lawless, tribalistic deserts of Arabia. He first practiced pacifism in the same way Jesus did for 14 years, until it became necessary to confront aggression with the sword.

His outcome was different than Jesus', in the sense that he was more like Nobunaga: a warrior who united the feuding tribes of a lawless nation under one banner, and so rose from it one of the greatest civilizations on Earth (leading to the Islamic Golden Age).

Aside from that, when you look into the actual raw version of Christianity without the rose-colored lens, Jesus isn't as benevolent as people make him out to be. In fact, some may say he's way worse than Mohammed.

It really comes down to one main source: the Old Testament & Jesus' approval of it. I'm sure many of you are aware of the horrors of Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, etc. and if you're not, feel free to read some of the passages online like Exodus 21 and Numbers 31.

But if you believe Jesus is God, that means you believe he was the God of the OT, which means he did things like approving the mass genocide of neighboring nations to Israel, allowing non-Hebrew slaves to be enslaved and beaten for life, etc. And of course, the Bible also states that God is the same today, yesterday and forever (13:8)

If you believe Jesus was the son of God or one in a trinity, that still doesn't make a difference since Jesus said "I and my father are one" (John 10:30) an spoke highly of the OT Law, even going as far as to mandate his followers to uphold it (Matthew 5:17-19, also the same sermon where he said love thy neighbor) and said scripture (referring to the OT and its laws) cannot be broken (John 10:35).

There are many more things Jesus said in the NT that heavily contradict his "loving and graceful" nature that mainstream media has made him out to be, Hebrews 10:26-29 is an example of Jesus condemning people to hell eternally just for sinning once after hearing the scripture, which isn't even found in the most extreme versions of Islam.

At the very least, Mohammed, even if we take his most brutalistic form as portrayed by media, is just another war general. Jesus on the other hand literally approves for people to be tortured eternally.

I really wonder why that's the case. Frankly, I see Islam and Christianity as the same religion. Both have good in them: promotion of charity, mercy, kindness, and tolerance. And bad: permissibility of slavery and war.

This question could also go on to another branch: why is Christianity sugarcoated to oblivion but not Islam? Usually, people see Christianity in the best possible light, but Islam in the worst.

Ulemas view the Quran as a book of not just synonyms, but synonyms of sex:

• When there is Nikah, they put sex (yes)
• When there is shahwah, they put sex
• When there is ta'tuna/bring, they put sex
• When there is bashirū, they put sex
• when there is taqrabū, they put sex (the only time they accept metaphors)
• When there is harth, they put sex
• When there is furūj, the put sex
• When there is alamin, they put sex (Q26:165)
• When they don't know what to do they put sex (Q36:55, read the tafsir on it)

They made every word in the Quran as a synonyms for sex! $%@!

'Generosity is a tree in Paradise whose branches stretch down to this world. Whoever is generous has taken hold of one of these branches and this branch will lead him to Paradise.'

Zina is obviously haraam as is anything that leads to Zina.

Free mixing does not lead to Zina, if anything it prevents Zina by ensuring people can find suitable spouses. Maybe it prevented Zina in the past, but not today!

Hyper segregation causes people to go underground for Zina.

Also consider the social ineptitude that develops due to gender segregation.

I’ll go even a step further and say going on coffee dates, dinner dates - all in public spheres - should be normalised

The village of Arnum, part of Hemmingen, south of Hanover, Germany, witnessed a horrific crime on Friday morning, claiming the life of the young Algerian woman, Rahma Ayad (26 years old), after being subjected to fatal stab wounds inside her apartment.

Neighbors reported hearing screams for help, before the victim collapsed in front of a neighbor's apartment, covered in blood. The police arrested a 31-year-old German man living in the same building, after he was found covered in blood at the crime scene.

So far, no formal charges have been brought against him, but investigations are ongoing and include the possibility of a racist motive, especially after testimonies circulated indicating that the victim had been subjected to previous harassment by the same neighbor mainly about the fact that she's wearing the Hijab.

Rahma had moved from Oran to Germany to continue her nursing training, before her life ended tragically...

There has been an increasing trend among many young Muslims who are upto the task of erecting a Caliphate, and if not Caliphate, then pushing for an Islamic brotherhood to recognize the status of Muslim Ummah.

But realistically it is not possible at all. I am not a nationalist at all, and dislike it, but its opposite ideology, globalism or internationalism is not possible either. Its a huge mistake to believe that erecting a Muslim Ummah magically solves the nationalistic conflicts of the Islamic world.

Say for instance, during the first world war, the British empire lured the Arab Muslims to fight against Ottomans in exchange for Arab nationalism/independence. However, they did not honor it fully as they forcefully created a Jewish land among the Arab nations (very cunning of the British empire to get rid of its own antisemitism).

On the other hand, after the Great War, Muslims in India were revolting against British empire in support of Ottoman Caliphate. However, the Caliphate was abolished not by the British, but by the Turks themselves. The Indian Muslims made an absolute disgrace of themselves. After failing with this movement, Maulana Azad had to resort to his own nationalism. Whereas, a guy like Jinnah could care less about what happens in a different part of Muslim world, and came out to be correct.

So, there is no point in supporting the Muslim Ummah at all, since you do not know which part of the Muslim world reacts to which events. However, that does not mean one cannot condemn the atrocities, such as Israeli atrocities. But, a Muslim ummah does not solve this issue.
