John the Baptist accepted Islam

Does OP realize how petty he makes Islam look with these type of threads?

If a thread can have an effect on your own decision about the dignity of one religion, then that only tells about the simplicity of your thinking.

IOW judging a religion by what we discuss here is really a stupid thing to believe in,we are discussing religion and not preaching here. :facepalm:

This thread doesn't effect my perception of Islam. However, if all someone was exposed to was these type of threads on Islam they would probably find it to be very petty. Your threads straddle the line between preaching and discussing and often cross over.

It's debatable whether or not Abraham even existed, and both Christians and Muslims claim John the Baptist as their own. Although, given the region where he was from, he was most likely a Jew.

Abraham was not a Jew, the word Jew is ascribed to Judah and Abraham was before him and he never said that he was a Jew.

Did John the Baptist say he was a Jew?
Anybody to quote from him.

There is no relation whatsoever between one's faith and intelligence.
Well, THAT'S abundantly clear from your posts! However: though it may be true for Islam (big "I" -- the distinct religion), it patently is NOT true for Christianity. Many denominations base faith upon 1) scripture, 2) tradition, 3) reason (or intellect). :cool:

That's because Abraham is a mythical character. There is no evidence that he even existed.

How is that related to the argument based on my OP.

I have 2 evidences and which are the ancient languages of the bible that existed in the region at that era, the Arabic and the Greek, knowing that many translations were done from Greek to Arabic during that period of time.

The word aslam in Arabic has no other meaning other than had surrendered to the will of another one and specifically to God, it never means arrested or put in prison,never

Now investigating the Greek language made my point and that John have accepted the message of Jesus and not arrested and put in prison.

Mistakes happen every now and then and i don't see any problem to investigate the truth and check for the mistakes that have been done by the others.
It's not. It's based on this post of yours:
The topic of the thread is discussing written facts and not stupid ideas as yours.

Granted, it is pretty petty, but it is also clearly desperate. The lengths some Muslims go in their attempt to make what they, and they only, consider to be an important point.

being required to exist so far from reality

leaves so much wiggle room for imagination and fantasy


Like a handball court, when confronted with the wall of reality, they are like a bouncing ball running away as fast as they were hit with it.

I honestly don't think primitive people can even tell they are primitive.

Which goes for all humanity not just people currently acting more barbaric.

Here's what's petty: the argument you're using to make your point is a fallacy.

You insist that "Islam" means "submission." That's true. "Submission" is one definition of the word "Islam." But "Islam" also has another definition: "the religion of the Muslims, a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah." IOW, it's a distinct religion, unique among other religions.

The fallacy is that you're conflating the two definitions, insisting that, since JtB "submitted" (by translating a Greek term found in a Christian document), he must be part of the distinct religion "Islam."

Why do you keep discounting the fact that Islam is a distinct religion with unique writings, culture, beliefs, structure, etc?
