What other culture had man being INTRINSICALLY valuable as an individual make is the LIKENESS of god? Not the Hindus. Not the Muslims. Not the Zoroastrians. Not the Buddhists. Not the African tribes. Maybe the Jews, but they are an integral part of Christianity. Jesus was a Jew.
That's dogma, not a value. And yes, the Judaism and Islam, as they're both part of the Abrahamic tradition. Important to remember that before Yahew was the "one god" of Judaism, he was first the Canaan version of Hephaestus, the forge god. This is why he is associated with creation.
Valuing the individual is value, as prescribed by Christian dogma. There's no contradiction or separation here. No, Islam is not Abrahamic. It is a fake religion that copied Abrahamic religions to gain power. Islam is like the Borg: copy all the technology and none of the substance and soul.
Valuing the individual is European Romanticism. Islam is derived from Judaism, that's a hard fact that doesnt care about your bigotry. Accusing any religion of copying others is just silly given the topic at hand. Everything about Christianity is stolen from older religions.
No. Valuing the individual came way before that. Christianity values the individual as created in God's image (Genesis 1:27), inherently worthy and loved by God (John 3:16). Each person has unique purpose (Ephesians 2:10) and equal spiritual value (Galatians 3:28).
Jesus emphasizes personal dignity, compassion, and redemption, prioritizing the individual’s salvation and relationship with God (Luke 15:4-7).
Islam: You say "derived". I say heavy "derived". Muhammad, living in 7th-century Arabia, interacted with Christians and Jews, gaining exposure to their beliefs.
Key similarities include monotheism, reverence for figures like Abraham and Jesus (viewed as a prophet in Islam), and concepts like heaven, hell, and judgment.
The Qur'an, which Muslims believe was revealed to Muhammad, shares narrative elements with Christian texts, such as stories of Mary and Jesus, but with distinct differences in theology (e.g., Jesus is not divine in Islam).
Critics argue these parallels show borrowing, while Muslims assert the Qur'an corrects earlier revelations. Lack of direct access to Christian texts in Arabic and Muhammad's illiteracy complicate claims of copying, suggesting oral transmission or shared cultural traditions as likely influences.
Just so you know, I'm ignoring everything related to your irrational Islamophobia. IDGAF about bigotry. Societies that valued the individual existed long before Christianity. The Romantic Movement turned it into a mainstream Western value long after Christianity was invented.
Not irrational, and not a phobia. But, you do you. The explicit seeds were planted by Christianity. If the Romantic Movement made them blossom, then good for the Romantic Movement.
Again, that value predates Christianity by tens of thousands of years. Thats the whole point. Christianity didn't invent any values. All bigotry is irrational by nature, and trying to excuse your Islamophobia as rational is an acknowledgement of it. You played yourself expertly there lol.
Prove your claim, as I did mine. Again, not a phobia. My dislike for Islam is based on years of research and study of the writings. None of your Catch-22 gobbledygook can change that.
BTW, "I'm not Islamophobic because I'm Islamaphobic" will be something that I laugh at all week lol. I can only assume you don't know what phobia means.
You're either delusional or a bot. I can only deduce that you don't know what quotes are.
Lmao, twice in a row acknowledging you have a bigotry. You embrace it, and you excuse it. Your claim was not proven, you've just repeated it without offering any evidence to back it up.
You don't seem open to any rational debate. Why should I bother?
