Musings on Islam

Jesus, the Muslim jihadist prophet.

... Muslims believe that Jesus is a great Muslim prophet as described in the teachings of Islam. The Quran says that Jesus will return at the end of the world as a Muslim warrior to convert or kill infidels, that is, Christians and Jews. That is ridiculous since Jesus would do no such thing, but this is what Islam teaches and what Muslims believe, i.e., Jesus will return as a Muslim jihadist. Islam teaches he always was a Muslim, just as it teaches that Abraham was the first Muslim. All Biblical prophets and even the Blessed Mother were all Muslims according to the Quran.

Muhammad's Night Journey - Heavens Two through Seven

Continuing with Muhammad's description of his supposed Night Journey from Humphrey Prideaux's Life of Mohamet...

Noah's Ark

"From the first heaven Muhammad said he ascended up into the second heaven which was a distance of five hundred years journey above the first. He determines this to be the distance of each of the seven heavens above the other. As in the first heaven the gates were opened for him, where at the entrance he met Noah who greatly rejoiced at the sight of Muhammad and recommended himself to his prayers. In this heaven, which was made of pure gold, Muhammad tells us he saw twice as many angels as in the former and among them one of such an extraordinary size that while standing in the second heaven, his head reached into the third.

"From the second heaven Muhammad ascended upwards into the third which was made of precious stones. At the entrance he met Abraham who also recommended himself to Muhammad’s prayers. In this third heaven Muhammad said he saw a vast many more angels than in the second heaven and among them another large angel of such phenomenal size that the distance between his two eyes was seventy thousand days’ journey, according to our rate of traveling here on earth.
