Jesus in Islam and Christianity
All cults begin by distorting and changing the person of Christ. Basic problem is they are too far removed from the events of Christ’s life.

Biography of Muhammad Part 2
This summary continues the chronological study of Muhammad’s life and the battle campaigns of the Islamic State. Many Muslims you speak with may declare that Islam is actually a religion of peace. So, the question is, “Is it?” To get to the heart of whether or not Islam is a religion of peace we have to first make a distinction between the religion of Islam and the Muslim people. Islam is a set of fixed teachings and narratives that originates some 1300 years ago. However, the Muslim people are as different as there are people, or Muslims, in this world. Many are peaceful, some are not, what’s the difference from the Islamic Sources?
Muhammad’s Prophethood, and Moral Character
Muslims around the world uphold Muhammad as the perfect example for all mankind. And, they revere him as the greatest prophet to have ever lived. His life is reported the source for all Islamic law and tradition and the utmost example for human flourishing. Islamic literature promulgates the idea that Muhammad was not motivated by glory or monetary gain. He was a humble leader and denied himself earthy pleasures. Such impressively powerful claims merit consideration. For if Islam is true, and Muhammad was indeed the greatest man to ever live, a man whose superior lifestyle is worth imitating, then his character and ministry will hold to such rigorous historical scrutiny.
