They are not just a little biased but intentional mis-translation in an attempt to preach that islam is the only truth~pls. don't quote Islamic sites on hinduism. Just an example of politcal abrahamism in action I was talking about in another thread. I have seen such stuff many many times...

I think that is not the biggest difference~ofcourse it comes as the biggest difference in spiritual understanding of the two faiths. I would say the biggest difference to abrahamism to other religions is the beilef of salvation only through their last prophet. For christians it is thus the...

Hi lucius thanks for your post. My idea of christianity is limited and but I understand that resurrection is the dominant theme among the most major denominations of christianity?? But I have also heard about what you say~praying for the dead in some christian denomincations~eg mormonism...
