A Muslim Female in UK Questiontime

[WhoevenamIinlife]

To help those who need educating. Fire away.

So do you believe Jesus was Jewish? Genuine question

Ahh your back! Welcome.

This is about Islamic beliefs. It’s ok that you don’t know much about what Islam believes but challenging it in this way doesn’t help the debate. Each Abrahamic religion has their view on Jesus. I’ve seen Jews on here post that Jesus was a heretic, which is clearly at odds with the Christian faith, but it change in any way what Christians believe

With your posting history, posting things like this only confirms that it is not radical Islam that you allegedly fear but have an apparent dislike of Islam as a whole.

I haven't noticed this. There was a thread by a Hasidic Jewish woman recently, maybe it was an AMA, I can't remember, but I noticed how everyone was very polite to her. I noticed the contrast between those comments and the comments on the Muslim AMAs.

How is stating a historical fact insulting to your religion?

What makes you think I'm insecure, and about what?

There's evidence that Jesus was an actual person and that he was Jewish, and he existed long before Mohammed, so how could he be Muslim?

How do you get the willpower to fast all day for Ramadan?

I need to lose weight but I'm obsessed with food

I haven't heard this argument that Jesus was a heretic, but if it was said by Jews surely they are saying he was heretical to that believe system, not to Christianity.

There have been threads so bad the whole threads have been deleted, and at other times just the awful posts. Just because you haven't personally seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened

But you are applying western standards to non-western countries. Before anyone twists my words in any way I do not condone homophobia in any shape or form. But the eastern world generally is behind the western world when it comes to homosexuality. The Islamic world is very anti homosexuality, that’s not in denial, but it’s not a problem that is exclusive to the Islamic world.

Is that me you’re talking about? Mumsnet doesn’t allow sock puppeting anymore, they removed the name change function on the same thread.

I’m genuinely interested in the Jesus thing.

Ok, that's awful then

Can't you just contact mnhq instead?

You might be incorrect

I’ve definitely seen it. I’m sure you can find it if you search. And yes, of course it would have been said in relation to that belief system. Just as this thread is talking about Jesus in relation to the Islamic belief system. Challenging it as wrong because Christianity says otherwise doesn’t change the status of Jesus in Islam.

I think it's absurd and insulting to Judaism, and to Christianity, to say that Jesus was Muslim, I'm waiting to hear how it is insulting to Islam to affirm that he was Jewish.

I didn't think it was possible to sock puppet any more? If you change names between threads your name only changes when you post on a new thread. It reverts to your original name when you re-post on a thread you've already posted on.

If the Islamic belief system states that Jesus was a Muslim, then it's a lie, so surely, you're not saying that?

Seeing as Jews don’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah at all and rather a false prophet, isn’t your post somewhat hypocritical by deliberately ignoring how Christians might feel about how Jews view Jesus?

Yes, my faith believes Jesus was a Muslim. You can believe it’s a lie all you want but it doesn’t change what I believe.

I'm sorry I haven't got time to unpretzel your query.

How could Jesus be a Muslim when he was born some 5-600 years before the invention of Islam?

BaMamma I think you need to take up a hobby rather than trying to goad posters on here. Unless that is your hobby. You come across so hellbent on finding an angle to put Islamic beliefs in the firing line. Your own thread has gone quiet as your intentions are becoming clearer and clearer but stop hijacking this space please. I wish you a peaceful evening of doing something other than writing repetitive posts to get some sort of response from someone who hasn't yet come across you. It's boring now.
Yes Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and not the son of God - of course that's different to the beliefs from Christianity and Judaism otherwise it would be the same religion no? Just be happy somewhere else please.

Can you explain what you mean by false prophet? As I notice @MixedBananas writes ‘peace be upon him’ after mentioning Jesus. Do different Muslims disagree as to whether Jesus was a real prophet or a false one? Again, genuine question (no sock puppeting going on).
