Muslims believe that God had previously revealed Himself to the earlier prophets of the Jews and Christians, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims therefore accept the teachings of both the Jewish Torah and the Christian Gospels. They believe that Islam is the perfection of the religion revealed first to Abraham (who is considered the first Muslim) and later to other prophets. Muslims believe that Jews and Christians have strayed from God's true faith but hold them in higher esteem than pagans and unbelievers. They call Jews and Christians the "People of the Book" and allow them to practice their own religions. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the "seal of the prophecy," by which they mean that he is the last in the series of prophets God sent to mankind. Muslims abhor the followers of later prophets. This attitude serves to explain the extreme Muslim animosity toward Bahais, followers of a nineteenth-century prophet, who in the Muslim mind is false.

In my opinion,

This view point is inconsistent with the true teachings of the Koran - as I understand.

Keep in mind that most Christian churches including Catholic are also inconsistent with the teachings of Christ. Organized religion of any faith breeds hatred, but consistent adherence to fundamentals consistent with the teachings of any faith does not. If you look closely enough you will see that power over others and money are the root causes of this phenomena, It is when man becomes the middle man that things go bad.

My best,

Jim
