*There are thousands of religions, sects and what not and Qur’an claims it sent messengers for all nations to get his message. *

And here is a confirmation of it.

***If all messengers performed their duty then why does Qur’an mistreat/hate them and label them as Kuffar?***Afterall, they too listened to their messengers, they too have a guidance book of their own.
***Just shows how much you have examined the Quran. To begin with Quran does not paint all people with the same brush [unlike what you have been doing here]. In fact it explicitly states not all of them are alike [if only you wished to read]. ***
***In Islam a person crime is not what he believes, his crime is whether he checks on what he believes or not. ***
Why should they have listened to anybody else when the preceding messengers never mentioned another coming of a prophet (not speaking of the second coming of Jesus Christ here)
Justshow how much you know.
In the Persian scriptures, which have been around for thousands of years, we read:
“When the Persians should sink so low in mortality, a man will be born in Arabia whose followers will upset their throne, religion and everything. The mighty stiff-necked ones will be overpowered. The house which was built and in which many idols have been placed will purged of idols and people will say their prayers facing towards it. His followers will capture the towns of the Farsi, Entaus and Balkh, and other big places round about. People will embroil with one another. The wise men of Persia and others will join his followers.” (Desature no.14)
The Muslims recognize this very quickly because the Ka’bah, the building which all Muslims face in prayers everyday, was at one time filled with idols and it was part of the mission of Muhammad , peace be upon him, to purge the house of idols till today. It was in the next generation, after the time of the Prophet that the wise men of Persia and others did join his followers.
In the Bible, in Deuteronomy chapter eighteen, we have the words of Moses who reports that God told him that H would raise up a prophet, from among the brothers of the Israelites, like Moses.
Christians wish to apply this to Jesus, to say he was the prophet like Moses. It is uncomfortable for them to recognize, however that Jesus was not very much like Moses and Jesus had no father, no wife, no children; he did not die of old age, and he did not lead a nation; all these things Moses had or did. But they say, well, Jesus will return; he will return as a victorious person, and so he will be more like Moses. Do they really expect he will return to also acquire a father and a wife and children and then die of old age? Not usually. Moreover, Jesus was an Israelite. The passage of scripture says that this prophet that was foretold would be raised up among the brothers of the Israelites, not from the Israelites.
In the third chapter of Acts, the disciple Peter speaks to a crowd of people and explains that Jesus has been take up and he is in heaven. He will remain in Heaven and he cannot return until all the things that were promised but God come to pass. So what are we still waiting for, does he tell the crowd? He quotes this very saying of Moses saying:
“For God will raise up a prophet from among the brothers of the Israelites like Moses…”
The point is very clear. Christians like to see this prophet as being Jesus. But read carefully Acts chapter three, what it says is that Jesus awaits a return. He cannot return until the fulfillment of this prophecy, that another prophet has to come. Jesus spoke of it himself and the words survived, just barely, but they survived in the bible. Jesus spoke of God sending another ‘Paraclete’.
The first letter of John shows that Jesus was a ‘Paraclete’. He is called a ‘Paraclete’ and we have Jesus promising another ‘Paraclete’ is going to be sent. We lose a lot by this word ‘another’ in English because it is ambiguous. If someone’s car breaks down, and it is a Toyota, and I say, '" I’ll go get you another car," maybe I mean, “I’ll go and get you another Toyota because this one you have is broken,” or maybe I mean, “Forget Toyota, they’re no good; I’ll go and get you a Datsun.” It is an ambiguous word. But the Greeks had a word for it. When they meant ‘another’ of the same kind, they said aloes. When they meant another of a different kind, they said heteroes. The important thing there is that when Jesus, who was himself a Paraclete, said “God will send you another Paraclete” he used the word aloes, not heteroes.
Christians want to say that this other ‘Paraclete’ that has been sent was different from Jesus. It was not a man, it was a spirit. What Jesus said was: God will send you another one like me, another man." Muslims believe that Muhammad is the fulfillment of this prophecy by Jesus. The Qur’an says that this man is mentioned in the scriptures of the Jews and the Christians (see7:157).
Christians came to expect that the return of Jesus because of a Jewish misunderstanding. ‘Messiah’ and ‘Son of Man’ have been given special significance by the Jews, even though may people were called by this same name as in the Bible. The Jews came to expect a victorious leader. When Jesus did not turn out to be quite what many expected, they hatched the idea that he would return some day and fulfill all these prophecies.
However, with the amount of descrapencies I have noticed in all Abrahamic scriptures, it’s hard to conclude that Islam teaches anything different
“Have they not considered the Qur’an (with care), if it came, other than Allah, surely they will find in it many inconsistencies.” (4:82)
I have checked every link, but it all seems like excuses, manipulation of words and justifications and no responsibily for what’s going on in the Muslim countries.
About 20 links [each about 1.5 hours], you have checked them all, in less than 2 days. Must be some sort of an achievement. In fact your statement suggest you haven’t checked none of my links that I send you, because they have answered to virtually all the questions you posted.
Beside you still haven’t replied to my original post, the one i posted here [and just in case if you forgot I PM that to you as well].
You were right, afterall you were not here to learn.
