Talk:Christianity and Islam
This article would have merit IF it
1) provides some examples of works of comparative religion that use the term "Christo-Islamic Values" and
2) provided some examples of Muslim clerics who have criticized the notion "Judeo-Christian" values, and
3) listed some values that are specifically, and exclusively, Christo-Islamic Slrubenstein
Google comes up with zero' hits for "Christo-Islamic values" and only 71 for "Christo-Islamic". -- Zoe
Only 71 huh? Whats the magic number 72? LOL -豎眩
Looking at the links, the VAST majority are actually for Judeo-Christo-Islamic Danny
Are you suggesting a change - perhaps on universally equal terms? -豎眩
I looked through the article. There are several questionable assumptions, one of which, that Islam is a break-off of Christianity, is, as far as I know, just plain wrong. I would defer to Elian's opinion on that, since I am not that well-versed in Islam. Other claims don't seem to be saying very much. I don't get what the article is really about. If it is about monotheistic religions, it should be Judeo-Christo-Islamic, but we already have an article about Abrahamic religions. Otherwise, it should be specific about what Christianity and Islam share that Judaism does not contain. Oh, and Luke 10:27 is quoting Leviticus 19:18.Danny
Islam holds the New Testament and Tanach as among its holy books. That its "decended" from is like always a touchy use of the word. Christians might not like the term, nor Muslims -that their religion is the spawn of something else. It's clearly not as simple as that - but avoiding the notion is wrong. There is a vertical relationship as well as a horizontal one, if youre creative enough to know what I mean. I cant help your lack of understanding, since some of it may be faith-related - you must stipulate. Here is the kanji I picked out for your name by the way, Dan - 丈 泥 -豎眩
As an atheist, I doubt much of my understanding is "faith-related." A vertical relationship is fine as turvergersation, but it cannot "spawn" anything. In fact, from the few classes I did take on Islamic history, Islam was influenced by both Judaism and Christianity, but that doesn't mean that either religion gave birth to it. Saying so, is an oversimplification of the historical processes involved, and seems to be an insult to Islam as well. Now do you care to explain the kanji? Danny
