Double standard to christianize article[edit]

Neutality? All article is one sided and neglects islamic views. Wikipedians should use both views. 1. Islam is first religion according to Islam as another user explained and christianity is first religion according to christianity 2. If christianity is first religion, it will be wrong to write christian views of Islam. Because supposedly christianity is first religion how it has views about Islam. And If it has then how can predate Islam. Rather they are not religios views rather the opinions of Islamophic people. If there is any real reformist who considers both religions equal?

Islam is false anyway.[edit]

"Neutality? All article is one sided and neglects islamic views. Wikipedians should use both views. 1.

The first reason Islam is false, is because it makes the historical claim to be the first religion, which just simply is not true.

Christianity came after Judaism, and Islam came after Christianity, so your lines broken just with the Abraham of faiths. Just because 7th century Christians disagreed and had their own opinions of Islam, doesn't mean Islam existed thousands of years before then. That's how Christianity predates Islam and has opinions about it, silly question tho. Any reformist or really anyone with a working brain can see Christianity and Islam aren't equal. Jesus not isa says do unto others as you would have them to unto you. And Islam teaches strike your wife if you fear disobedience, kill the nonbelievers, Christian's, Jews, and pagans are worst of all created beings, including Satan, it also teaches you can have multiple wives, marry and have s-x with children. I can keep going if you'd like. Islam is false. 68.233.29.90 (talk) 20:10, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct the part in the introduction that says that Muslims believe that Christians are kafirs.

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and also regard them as kafirs (unbelievers) committing shirk (polytheism) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."

Should be changed to

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and many regard trinitarians as mushrik (polytheists) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."

To elaborate:^[1]

Some do believe they are mushrik, aka associating partners with god, but a person who is committing shirk is not also a kafir, as that is an outright disbeliever. One who does not believe in God is a kafir, committing kufr, and one who does, but associates partners or to a lesser extent associates attributes/powers of God to other beings is a mushrik committing shirk. By nature, the two are mutually exclusive, no read or versed muslim will consider Christians both or even a disbeliever, especially since the Quran explicitly states they are people of the book and believers, though misguided/strayed from the correct path. 50.53.87.243 (talk) 10:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

^ [2.135] And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the polytheists. [3.67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists. [2.62] Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
