cont...from Muslim and Christians dialogue

Muslims believe that Jesus is the Messiah and go as far as believing like Catholics in the Immaculate Conception. Look at data, make decision. Mary instruments of the word, Mohammed instruments of the word, Koran. Comparison is more Mary and Mohammed, rather than Jesus and Mary. Using some words has different meaning. Revelations is something we believe RC’S. Muslims - force of law - like the Toran. Sunnis - Abu Bark was a black man (slave). Islams believe black men and women played an important part in bringing the word. Umar/Uthman/ Ali. Sons of Ali: Marjaal - Taqlid - (like the Pope). Alatouahs (like a Cardinal in RC). Mullaus (bottom). Use on paper Shaig scholars. Some believe they are parallel to Catholicism. Shietes - Ali (Mohammed) son in law and cousin. Ali was contesting Muarita, son. Ali was contesting Muarita >son. Battle sons of Ali (three mentioned above with Yazin, Muarita’s son. Shietes regard Hasan’s death of a Martyr. So do RC’s view Jesus Christ on cross. In both Shiac Islam and RC - both have been institutionalized. If you do something wrong, you have to do your own redemption. These commemorations honoured Redemption, suffering in Islam everyday. RC - daily mass. Shisim - Hussan at Kaputi (sp) just like every day RC prayer sections, commemoration first month of Muslim calender. Muharan, First ten days of Muharan, passion play, ceremonies etc……Shietes Muslims do the same things. If you have a devotion to Hussain can. If you have a devotion to Hussain can be redemptive if you do. 90% of all Muslims in the world Sunnis. 10% Shietes (almost confined to Iran and Iraq). Some Sunnis regard the Shietes as “funny” Muslims because they follow the law. Iran is the only country where Shietes is State religion (at the time of taking these notes). Most Muslims live in Indonesia, after Africa and Asia. Very peace loving people. Muslims do not resist Christianity but resist oppression. Muslims come from 60 countries and there is no agreement on what to do. If you are not Sunnis, you fall under Shietes. Ismali live in India today and don’t like what is happening. Conflict between Christianity and Islam (Muslims) began long before Jesus was born. It was a culture conflict which began with Alexander the Great. To be continued…………
