Jesus and Mohammed

Trying to Understand the Central Point of All Religions.

Kurt Kesler
When we take time to reflect on the lives, philosophies and records as to who and what people seem to have been Mohammad, and Jesus, we are filled with what can only be not only a clashing of religions and cultures, but many, many similarities. However let us first review the life of Jesus. Born categorically in the year 000, however some scholars have suggested it was in fact 2 BC/BCE and 1 AD/CE He was born from the "Virgin birth" as it was explained by some. Some versions of his base religion, Christianity do explain that he was in fact the product of the God Jehovah having sex with Mary, Jesus' Mother. Though at the same time historians have explained that Mary was termed a "Virgin" as she was not married, and according to historians the use of Virgin for an unwed mother was actually common. But Scientist have shown that throughout history there have been cases that in which there has been females born with both a Testicle in place of one ovary. In either case, the birth not being debated, Jesus was born, and after a barely documented childhood and teenage life, eventually took to performing miracles and helping others, only to eventually be dispatched to the Romans by the Jewish Rabbis who were in fact fearing the messages taught by Jesus. Now comes the second part of when you weigh it out. Was Jesus in fact killed because he actually showed to the Jewish Rabbi that he could persuade the people to follow his teaching rather than that of the Torah? Now some have even shown that other people considered "Prophets" have been terminated from the world via the Christian Church as their messages though based on the basic religion though altered for whatever reason whether it personal and or an influence via a deity as well. As for Jesus he was terminated and then his persona became that of a Martyr to the basis of what would be called Christianity. As for who some consider his equal, we can now look over to Mohammad.

Mohammad, though spelled through many different ways was in fact a Prophet in the Muslim religion. Now some consider him to be to Muslims as Jesus was to Christianity, however at times once reviewing things set in Muslim religion I personally consider him to be a mixture of both Jesus and Moses from the Jewish Texts of Judaism. Now Mohammad was born in 570, He was born into a somewhat wealthy line of families, ironically it is suggested that he was in fact a descendant of Abraham, who was one of the key people of interest in the teachings of Jehovah to the Israelites. Now for reasons though complicated by some standards, the Jewish religion actually changed from Jewish, and was formed into the Muslim religion. The concept that Jehovah was not the name of the big bad mono deity, but it was in fact Allah. Really when you take a moment to step back and review it, it very much seems like a case in which someone wanted to alter the basic religion into a form that worked for either their own personal power or gain. I think it should be noted that in Judaism, the practice of polygamy was almost gone to some degree, and in the form of Muslim it was still generally accepted. Ironically one of the very things that were acceptable to a degree was the use of marriage when it came to an older man marrying a younger woman. There were some socially acceptable versions, however in the case of Mohammed and his marriage to Aisha still baffles me and others. Now I am sure by a roundabout way the marriage by what was a 40+ man and a 6 year old when they were betrothed was acceptable, obviously by modern standards regardless of religious taste the practice is frowned upon. (And in a personal observation, just flat out nasty.)

The biggest thing that Mohammad had managed to achieve in his life was the writing and formation of the Quran. Which became the very basis for any and all modern Muslim practices and faiths, albeit in traditional and or fundamentalist views, the Quran teaches everything a follower of Allah needs to know. Now, I need to explain that just because you are a follower of Allah, the Quran does not teach you how to be a terrorist. The book for the better degree, much like other books focused in many other religions is subject to interpretation brought forth by the reader. Now, he is buried ion Aisha's house, which is ironically where he had died at. His tomb is next to another tomb which sits empty to this day, as Muslims, much like those who follow the Jewish faith still await the Messiah (or son of either Jehovah and or Allah respectively.) Even though he did not die in battle, nor was he "sacrificed" in some majestic deed of faith, he in many ways is treated as a martyr by those who follow the Muslim religion and faiths.

The worshiping of the two men is in many ways the same. As one was considered a son of a deity, and the other was considered a prophet, both are prayed to and in some respects have overpowered their religions main principal points of focus (Allah and Jehovah) which is ironic because the following of the teaching presented in both faiths is that you should never, ever present yourself in faith to another other than the deity. However once again in both cases we have the case of people worshiping the prophet or son rather than the deity. This is a part of how their religions were both launched into focus for the planet and how their messages are actually delivered upon the ears of humans. Ironically though, let us reflect on the messages and how they were delivered. In Christianity it became a case in which it was you followed the teachings of the father deity, then the son of the same deity. And it is said because Jesus actually was the focal point of Christianity was in fact the king of the Jews. So eventually if and when a human was made a king of a country say like England, he was in fact considered to be a king who was under the rule of both the Church and of course Jesus and the lord Jehovah. Royal bloodlines were in fact regarded to be that of holy blood by some.

Now whence it came to the concept of Muslim, for the better degree a religion that got a boost in the 6th century, was in fact over looked by most of those in Europe and of course the western side of the planet until the word was put out as to what the religion was when most Americans who did not even know what a Muslim was other than a "Middle Eastern, who wore a towel on their head and rode a camel" got introduced to the culture formally on the day of September the 11th, 2001. It of course was a message carried out by the fundamentalist side of Muslims, but the message was broadcast loud enough to the group of people who asked "Who are these people who just attacked us, and more importantly Why?" Now most Americans do in fact do not regard the terrorist acts to be that of the faith. However there are those who believe in absolution, so any and all Muslims are considered a terrorist, which is ironic, as some Muslims refer to Christians because of their misdeeds towards Muslims during the "Great Crusades" in the early parts of the millennium waged by the Christians.
