Iโm sick of Jews who believe that Judaism has more in common with Islam than with Christianity, just because Islam promotes โpure monotheism.โ
Thatโs a shallow view. Judaism and Islam share nothing. The god of Islam is the antithesis of the God revealed in the Hebrew Bible.
Islam claims to be a monotheistic religion, yet its very structure suggests otherwise.
True monotheism means that God alone is supreme, that He alone dictates morality, and that no other being, human or otherwise, can share in His divine authority.
But in Islam, Muhammad is not just a messenger. He is more than that. He is, in practice, greater than Allah.
The Quran, which Muslims claim is the eternal, unchangeable word of Allah, repeatedly intervenes in Muhammadโs personal life, not to guide humanity, but to conveniently grant him whatever he desires.
Even Aisha, his 9 years old wife, noticed this.
When Muhammad received โrevelationโ permitting him to marry as many women as he wished, including the wife of his own adopted son, Aisha sarcastically said:
โI feel that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desires.โ (Sahih al-Bukhari 4788)
Think about that.
The supposed God of the universe conveniently "reveals" solutions to Muhammadโs personal issues, whether it's approving his sexual desires, justifying his political decisions, or silencing his critics.
Is that a God who is supreme? Or a prophet who is using divine revelation to serve himself?
In Islam, you can blaspheme against Allah and still be forgiven. You can repent, and Allah will accept it. But if you insult Muhammad, you die. No repentance.
This is written explicitly in Islamic law. Ibn Taymiyyah, one of the most influential Islamic scholars, stated:
โWhoever insults the Prophet, even if he repents, must be killed.โ
Countless people, Muslim and non-Muslim, have been murdered for โinsultingโ Muhammad, from ancient Islamic conquests to modern assassinations like the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
How can you claim that Allah is supreme when mocking Him is forgivable, but mocking Muhammad is a death sentence?
Islam demands that every Muslim prayer include praise for Muhammad. The Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith, does not simply acknowledge Allah, it requires the mention of Muhammad alongside Him:
There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger of Allah.
Muslims can't even complete a single prayer without sending blessings upon Muhammad.
Yet in true monotheism, a prophet is just a messenger.
