Here is a transcript of a short video Kerry Duke made on the differences between Christianity and Islam. We encourage you to watch “Jesus Schools Muhammad” on YouTube and share it.
Jesus Schools Muhammad
Imagine a conversation between Jesus and Muhammad. They lived 600 years apart, but it might have sounded something like this.
Muhammad: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day…”—Quran, 9:29.
Jesus: “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world,
My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but
now My kingdom is not from here.”—John 18:36.
Muhammad: “When ye meet the Unbelievers in fight, smite at their necks;
At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond thoroughly
on them…”—Quran, 47:4.
Jesus: “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of
Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”—Luke 9:55-56.
Muhammad: “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay
the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in
wait for them in every stratagem of war…”—Quran, 9:5.
Jesus: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.”—John 10:10.
Muhammad: “You will fight against the Jews till some of them hide behind
stones. The stones will betray them saying, O Abdullah! There is a Jew
hiding behind me; so kill him.”—Bukhari, 2925.
Jesus: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”—Luke
23:43.
Muhammad: “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say…none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah…”—Bukhari, 6924.
Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me.” —John 14:6.
These are direct quotations from the New Testament and the Quran and hadith of Muhammad. If you think they’re taken out of context, please read them for yourself.
