Document Summary
Relg 101 - introduction to world religions: western traditions - lecture 15: islam. Islam is not exclusively given to terrorism than any other religion. Human beings have a potential to be ruthless and negative people. From adam, who was also the prophet of god, there was a number of prophets sent by god to send messages to human beings. Before muhammad, all the messages were twisted and not right. Muhammad"s message is the perfect last message of god. Christian believes that the word becomes flesh, god takes incarnation in human form. Muslims - word of god does not take incarnation. They reject the notion that jesus is the son of god. However much individual christian may be close to the message, jesus will always be more important. What we find in the new testament are stories composed after the life of jesus, that went through numeric translation. From the muslim point of view, new testament is corrupted.
