We love Jesus
Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. They add the same phrase to other prophets.
No other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows:
"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]
Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother. "Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said:
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49] Muhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]
Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying:
"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven.

Yeah, probably so. Muhammad might have been a bit heavier, though.

But, he does have those dust old hippie sandals. Probably has rocks stuck in the threads. Not pleasant on the tummy.
But, the guy can walk on water. So, he might be able to ease up on Frank's tummy. |

Where does Jesus stand on Frank? Hopefully not on his stomach area. That could impair his breathing.

Ok i am a little rusty on all of this.
I think that's because he is one of the first enlightened people.
I can't remember what religion it is but it's a series of stages you have to go to, that in their religion you more than likely wouldn't reach in one life time, but eventually hopefully all of us would be just as enlightened. interesting stuff. |

DISCLAIMER
This post has no obvious Frank connection.
I was just listening to Vic Chesnutt, and he was singing:
"The Bible is a book
Jesus was a literate Jew..."
I love Vic.
I don't know where he stands on Islam though.

well, Frank likes Tom Waits so much that he covered his songs and stole the name of an album for his own song, so if Frank likes the Waits he's bound to like "Get behind the Mule" offa mule variations and getting behind the mule is exactly what the mule-fucker must have done.

As a young man, Frank, like most young men, thought
of sex often but rarely with animals.
Or something....

Mefa,
You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |
