What's the difference between Islam and Judaism?

[briank]

Jews call Abraham the first Jew. Muslims call Abraham the first Muslim. Jew believe Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac and Muslims believe Abraham was to sacrifice Ishmael? Did Muhammad copy most of the Jewish stories and claim them to be Muslim?

He had help, but I don't think it was from "the angel Gabriel." If that was
the case, Gabriel is a double-crosser to both religions. Some "angel."

Colonel: yeah, the hoo hah of a Judaism only residence, which contradicts the "democracy" claim. There's nothing "democratic" about being fascist and racist.

 

[Aravah]

answer: Yes, he did and got most of it wrong.

a comparison of the three Abrahamic religions:

JUDAISM
- says that no man gets a 'second coming'
CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM
- says that Jesus will have a 'second coming'

JUDAISM/ISLAM
- says that every human should speak directly to G-d
CHRISTIANITY
- Jesus claims in the 'new testament' that the 'only way' to G-d is via him


JUDAISM/ISLAM

CHRISTIANITY

JUDAISM
- says that we are ALL equally G-d's children
CHRISTIANITY

ISLAM
- most Jews and Christians and all non-Jews/non-Christians go to hell though some state that only Allah knows who will end up in hell

JUDAISM
- has no 'devil', the Jewish 'Satan' is just an ordinary angel, under G-d's control
CHRISTIANITY
- describes 'Satan' as a devil and 'fallen' angel
ISLAM

JUDAISM

ISLAM
- all must convert to Islam or pay a fine to remain Christian or Jewish and live as 2nd class citizens (all others must convert or die)

[ColonelMustard]

Not much, just look at all that hoo hah in Palestine, by jove !

 

[Desiree]

Yeah, Muslims needed dogma and they needed a prophet. Any old dogma and any crazy prophet was ok for them. They were worried about Christianity advancing into the Arab world and making Arabs subservient to Rome or Constantinople. So the Arabs needed a religion of their own. That's how Islam was born.

 

[chebrew2000]

Ask a rabbi and an imam.

Huge. Your last sentence nails it but it is worse than claiming them to be their own. One Iman told me that the name Israel was given to Jacob from Satan in the book of Genesis. The hatred of Zionism is so complete that they must discredit all references to the name Israel.
