Last Saturday there was a demo held by the
banned al-Muhajiroun Islamic group. Their main theme was that “Jesus is a
Muslim”.
This group is led by Anjem Choudary. The
group renamed itself, following its ban in 2010, into the 'Muslims Against
Crusades' which was also banned in 2011. The group has since ceased to operate
under any name in an attempt to evade authorities.
The banned group carried out Islamic dawah outside Tooting Broadway tube
station; just six miles from the Houses of Parliament. Visitors to Tooting last Saturday said that
the Muslims who were handing out flyers were 'intimidating'. The protestors also
unfurled a large banner reading, "Jesus is a Muslim".

Muslims use
Jesus as a selling point for Islam. This is not just the case with Anjem
Choudary and other blatant - but honest! - Islamists; but also the far more insidious, powerful and ultimately dangerous Muslims who indulge
in what Christians call “Interfaith” but what they take as simple Islamic dawah (proselytising on behalf of
Islam).
“That they said (in boast), ‘We killed
Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’;- but they killed him
not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them...” – Koran, 4:157
“So believe in God and His apostles and do
not say: ‘Three.’” – Koran, 4:171
‘The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was no
more than God’s apostle and His word which he cast to Mary: a spirit from Him.’
(4:171)
“Said Jesus the son of Mary: ‘O Allah our
Lord!’” - Qur'an 5:114
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Islam's Jesus shares zero with the Jesus of
Christianity; save the name "Jesus".
The Islamic/Muslim Jesus:
i) Was a Muslim.
ii) Was never crucified on the cross
("but it only appeared that way").
iii) Forecast the Final Prophet - Muhammad.
(He is simply a precursor of Muhammad.)
iv) Will be/is married will have/has
children.
v) Visited Mecca and Medina.
vi) Had as his main “mission” the duty to
tell the world about the Islamic “end-times”.
vii) Will tell all Christians and Jews to
convert to Islam and stop eating pork.
Thus Jesus is a tool of Interfaith Muslims
to draw in gullible interfaith Christians. That is,
interfaith = Islamic dawah
Not only that. Jesus simply led the way to
Islam and Muhammad.
What is it, then, that the Islamic Jesus
shares with the Christian Jesus?

“And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary,
said: ‘O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you,
confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an
Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.’ But when he came to
them with Clear Signs, they said, ‘this is evident sorcery!’” – Koran, 61:6
“Christ Jesus the son of Mary ...” –Koran,
4:171
“Christ Jesus...was no more than a
messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit
proceeding from Him: ... Say not ‘Trinity’.”
- Koran, 4:171
