An Islamic View of Jesus

Posted in Islam, Jesus Christ, Qur'an on January 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

At muslimmatters.org, Camilla Morrison has written an essay that gives the Islamic view of Jesus. In the first few paragraphs (pasted below) she describes how the Qur’an views Jesus, referring to most of the texts about him.

A Muslim Christmas Carol

Posted in Jesus Christ on December 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I read this on a friend’s blog who has lived in Djibouti (slightly irrelevant tangent: when I was in 6th grade I loved saying, “Djibouti”). I love the post for lots of reasons. First of all, she is a follower of Jesus who also loves Muslims. Second, she sees the good that comes from living [...]
