> Security cameras caught the man spray-painting symbols and phrases including "Jesus Christ" on the walls and doors of Masjidullah – The Center for Human Excellence

Dude is so woefully undereducated by his own church that he doesn’t know Jesus was Jewish and didn’t dislike temples, he whipped the shit out of people who misused or abused them.

Muslims don’t have a problem with Jesus, they believe he was a good guy, just that he wasn’t god.

Not only that. Jesus is a prophet for Muslims. And his mother Maria is a very important figure in Islam too.

And there's an Islamic prophecy about Jesus coming down from his abode in Heaven during the End Times to confront the Antichrist and rally the remaining faithful – whether they were already Muslims or weren't but had rejected the Antichrist and later embraced Jesus' call upon his arrival.

Don’t think anyone of the 3 Abrahamic religions believe Jesus was god, Christians believe he was the son of god for example. But they all do acknowledge him as an important religious figure in someway or another

It is orthodox Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ himself is fully God and fully man.

Greatest PR coup in history was the Roman church saying the Jews killed Jesus.

Yes. Painting the words "Jesus Christ" on a mosque is all you need to convert people to Christianity. I paint "molest kids" on southern baptist and catholic churches. Like that's going to make them do it.

Maybe I need to re-think this.

As far as I am aware, Jesus is already considered a prophet in Islam.

Jusiasm, Christianity, and Islam are Abrahamic religions snd pray to the same god. Not sure these religous facts penetrate the mind of people who vandalize and paint follow Jesus messages on mosques in an attempt to convert them while defacing their sacred place of worship.

They’re all praying to same the same god but all want to be acknowledged as the “real” followers. It’s selfish bullshit.

Because he created everything and everyone and loves us... or something like that. Faith isn't faith when you've got a proverbial gun pointed at your head.

People who desecrate religious worship sites are assholes. Just leave folks alone.

Is that difficult?

When you have religious fundamentalist messing with other religious fundamentalist does it cancel each other out?

Unfortunately no, bc they inevitably try to draw the rest of us into their fight.

Like how those fascists kept attacking power substations to spark a race war. They understand that they need to raise the temperature on the public to get random acts of violence flowing.

This mosque in Philadelphia was not a fundamentalist mosque, so that doesn't seem relevant.

If it’s not yours, don’t act like it is.

Anyone who tries to convert you to their religion is an asshole and anyone who tries to scare someone out of their religion is an asshole.

Basically, leave people the fuck alone.

(Which also means keeping your religious bullshit off our laws.)

One of the inherent problems with Christianity is their claim that non-Christians are destined to go to Hell. Defacing a mosque is the kind of crap that happens when people believe they're better than non-believers.

You mean any religion? I don't want to do a whataboutism here but "we're the good guys, everyone else is going to hell, and any bad deeds we do unto them are justified" is like the basis of most (abrahamic?) religions, islam included.

Christianity and Islam are mirror images of each other when it comes to believing they're the “true” faith.

There is no hell in judaism, and there is no moral requirement to follow jewish laws unless you actively choose, of your own will without coercion, to be jewish.

evangelicalism defines the largest world religions because conversion obviously grows a following faster. By quantity, though, there are more cultural religions than evangelical ones

That’s not how it works in Islam. It’s a lot more complicated. There are so many that would never have heard the message of Islam. Most who heard but never truly heard enough. Those people will be tested on the day of judgment and those who pass will enter heaven. That’s what I’ve heard so correct me if I’m wrong.

Honestly, Christianity and Judaism need to get their shit together on fast tracking their religion for converts. Islam keeps it easy. Say “Praise Islam” BAM! you’re a Muslim. Say “Fuck Mohammed”, BAM you’re not a Muslim. Makes joining and leaving the fairy tale so easy
