I have studied him -the wonderful man- and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the saviour of humanity.

-George Bernard Shaw in The Genuine Islam

His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement -all argue his fundamental integrity.  To suppose Muhammad an imposter raises more problems than it solves.  Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad.

-W. Montgomery Watt, Mohammad At Mecca, Oxford, 1953, p.52.

Preface:

It seems tedious to say Time stands still for no one, yet how true it is! Have you ever wonder whether modern era is moving frontward, rearward or coming to a standstill?

Realms, with unseen boundaries and penitentiary without walls are the true reality of current age. We are being ruled by tyrants. In existing epoch, whether we live under monocracy, democracy, dictatorship, communism or capitalism, all these structures have tyrant kings, with one strapping weapon in their hands. No nuclear bomb is as destructive as this clandestine tool. It is responsible for murder of our minds. It is responsible of mass hypnotism and that bludgeon is Media.

Deception has always been tool of Satan and media has done PHD in deception. If we accede to their encoding and give acquiesce to their alluded information, then we will be swayed to the accomplishment of their goals.

This same deceptive renouncement tool has given a new outlaw to the world Muslims & Islam. Previously this treatment was gifted to Blacks, Jews and sometime way back to some notorious Christians. Let us reconnoiter whether being a Muslim, I should be guilty or not.

Chapter 1: Born sinner? (Christianity and Islam)

Does He not know what He has created, and He is the Most Kind, the All-Aware. [Quran Sūrah al-Mulk: 14]

The Creed of Islam is given to us in a Holy Qur'an:

Say ye: "We believe in Allah,

And the revelation given to us,

And to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac,

Jacob, and the Tribes,

And that given to Moses and Jesus

And that given to (all)

Prophets from their Lord:

We make no difference

Between one and another of them:

And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

(Holy Qur'an 2:136).

We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows. ~ Katharine Graham, former owner of the Washington Post.

Given the aberrant information given by so called Reporters and Expert sources, populace may incriminate Muslims as born sinners. Yet the ideologies which Muslims follow negate this concept. For many Christians, a new born child is a born transgressor, which is contrary to what Islam says that humans are born untainted.

In Christianity, blood sacrifice is used to remove the sins, which as a child they have not yet committed. All my brothers and sisters in the bracket of Christianity are aware that somebody else died for their sins (Jesus peace be upon him?) Christianity teaches that Christians will be forgiven, saved and go to heaven as long as they believe in Jesus (peace be upon him).

If we flip the coin towards Islam and compare the two religions, let see who should be reprehensible and who should be guilt free.

Stipulation to start this comparison will need one major thing Free mind from any indoctrination. Open your heart and mind and fling away the preconceived notions.

First question which pops up in one’s mind is, How come an innocent is a born sinner? Visit any Church and you will get fixed answers. Here is a hypothetical situation:

The inquisitive mind, who dares to think, Please can you validate the claim that a new born baby is born sinner?

The priest will elucidate, God created humans to live eternally in Heaven, and that when Adam ate from the tree from which he had been forbidden, God punished him through death and banishment from Heaven. He would further assert Death was thus inherited by us. The stain on us can be removed only by great sacrifice and for that God Himself came down to us, incarnate in His son Jesus.

Isn’t the Lord Most Merciful?

Yes He is.

Then why can’t God forgive our first mistake? Where does Bible teach us about the original sin? The problem is that it is opposing to not only to the teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him), but to the teachings of The Holy Bible itself. Even the idea put forth that all children are born with the black stain of sin runs opposite to events in the ministry. Remember Jesus said ‘Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:14-15’.He made it clear that unless you are as innocent as a child, you can never inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

No my child, Original sin is a state, not something that people perform. It's the normal devout and psychosomatic condition of an individual, not their bad thoughts and actions. Even a newborn baby who hasn't done anything at all is damaged by original sin. Paul with respect to Jesus redeems the world from its sin; For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3, Child, as our faith says that By his death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ has opened heaven to us.

The thinker will point out, Which scripture Paul is talking about? Hebrew and Torah scripts? But in Hebrew Scriptures we read, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statuses and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him; in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. Ezekiel 18:20-22

The priest will not give up as yet Only your belief will get you redeemed. For we walk by faith, not by sight.2 Corinthians 5:7.What we need to recognize is that every justifiable creed in the world accepts that there is a basic failing in the human condition. We are not in perfect submission in front of God. We fail to act according to His plan. It is because of that laws are defined in all religions. Different religions have used diverse terms and slightly different perspectives on the fundamental human flaw. In Christianity, original sin is the name of this concept. In Buddhism it is dukkha Isaiah 43:11: I, even I, am the Yahweh; and beside Me there is no savior.

The intrusive mind will still need to persist If by baptism we become pure of human inaccuracies then why do Christians sin? Why aren’t we sinless if we have become pure? All that aside, the Bible is quite clear on the issue of sins: To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifice unto Me?, saith the Lord. I am full of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lamb or of he-goats.Isaiah 1:11.The Holy Bible actually makes it quite clear that forgiveness from sins comes from one’s sincerity in seeking forgiveness from Almighty God and from obedience to Him; I desired not sacrifices; I commanded not your fathers, when I stretched forth my hand to bring them out of Egypt, to offer burnt -- offerings to me, but only to obey my voice. Jeremiah 7:21-22

The priest will enlighten you If you remember this then go and read what is written in Genesis 6:6, it says The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled."

The End!

Take a deep breath and before throwing stones at me, please repeat the words of Genesis 6:6 and ponder that to agree onto it would mean that Adam did something, which was out of the will, power, and knowledge of God and that God regretted creating humans.  God is All-Perfect. The Bible states clearly how salvation can be achieved If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Edmund Burke said Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

May our Creator help us to turn away from the fable tales. May, you realize that you are born unblemished. God never asked us for perfection. He already has perfect beings in angels. God gave us freewill to opt between right or wrong.

One question which must be dealt is the fate of those who came before the claim that God became incarnate and sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity. Some don’t even allow non-baptized infants to be buried in consecrated ground because they were believed to have died in original sin. Identify the message in Bible more effectively to hold on to God’s way. Otherwise we will be lost in the kaleidoscope of misconceptions.

Bear in mind the verse in the Apostles’ Creed, and (Jesus) descended into Hell is said to mean that Jesus descended to Hell to free the righteous souls who were there due to the sin of Adam.  This leads us to think that all those before the coming of Jesus are in Hell, even if they were from the virtuous.  Paul mentioned this himself in Galatians:"… a man is not justified by the works of the law ...  for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. I don’t think Prophets like Abraham, Moses, Noah and others (peace be upon all) were in
