Was Jesus a Muslim

The following are quotes from the Transaltion of the Holy Quran where it talks about Jesus Christ

Allah Will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.' - 5.110

And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. - 5.116

So Mary conceived Jesus, and she retired with him to a remote place - 19.022

Jesus said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet and He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; Allah hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life again"! Such was Jesus the son of Mary: it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. 19.30-34

They say: "Allah hath begotten a son!" - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not? - 10.068

Jesus said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; - 19.030

And (remember) her (Mariam) who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples. - 21.091

And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs. - 23.050

And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant: - 33.007

And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way. - 43.061

When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me. - 43.063

And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!" - 61.006

O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel elieved, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed - 61.014

And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly believes in this before his death, and on the day of resurrection Jesus shall be a witness against them. - 4.159

Where on Earth are the moderate Muslims?

By Deroy Murdock

Where on Earth are the moderate Muslims? Thanks to PBS, they're not on public television.
PBS has blocked "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center." This new documentary -- funded with a $675,000 Corporation for Public Broadcasting grant -- contrasts the ubiquitous bearded, burqa-covered Muslim radicals with others seldom seen: men and women who wear Western attire, shave daily, show their female faces, and prosper without slaughtering "infidels."
While moderate Muslims may appear elsewhere on PBS, Uncle Sam's TV channel declines to air this compelling, even-handed, and surprisingly tame film that explores the struggle between modern Muslims and their backward brethren. Produced by Canadian filmmaker Martyn Burke and the Center for Security Policy's Alex Alexiev and Frank Gaffney, "Islam vs. Islamists" is no fire-breathing, Islamophobic screed. While it sympathizes with mellow Muslims targeted by their hotheaded co-religionists, it simply lets individual Muslims speak for themselves, with limited commentary -- none of it inflammatory.
Capital HQ a New York-based public-affairs organization, quickly arranged a sold-out screening of "Islam" Tuesday night. Even after benches and folding chairs were dragged in from the Union Square 14-plex's lobby, guests still clogged the aisles.
The film showcases brave, moderate Muslims like Naser Khader, a Syrian-born Danish legislator who preaches the separation of mosque and state. The mere fact that he votes in Copenhagen's parliament enrages Muslim zealots.
"To make laws -- only a god does that. And there is only one god in Islam, and that is Allah," says Slimane Abderrahmane, an Algerian-Danish alumnus of al-Qaida's terror camps and, later, Guantanamo. "So you're saying, 'I'm just like Allah.' And you can't do that."
Rather than submit to such Muslim crackpots, Khader fled Copenhagen for a small Danish town. He also requires 24-hour police protection. This is hardly paranoid. During the deadly Muslim overreaction to those newspaper images of Mohammed in Denmark's Jyllands-Posten, Danish Muslim fanatic Ahmed Akkari said, "If Khader becomes minister of integration, shouldn't someone dispatch two guys to blow up him and his ministry?"
The man who videotaped Akkari's words also is in "Islam."
Mohamed Sifaoui, a peaceful Algerian-French journalist, infiltrated a Parisian band of Muslim extremists. Some appeared via hidden camera. Others hammed it up, thinking Sifaoui was shooting an Islamist propaganda movie.
Since French TV showed his film, bodyguards have surrounded Sifaoui.
It is newsworthy that moderates such as Khader and Sifaoui need security agents to shield them from Allah's potentially homicidal followers. Nonetheless, PBS has nixed this film.
"'Islam vs. Islamists' had not completed the production and review process for PBS," says presenting station WETA's statement. "They [sic] program still has not." Despite minor audio glitches, the screened film appeared complete.
The documentary "was irresponsible because the writing was alarmist, and it wasn't fair," WETA executive Jeff Bieber has complained. (Full disclosure: I was a panelist on WETA's "Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered.")
"Islam" is abundantly fair. Those in it, all Muslim, represent themselves. They range from thoroughly relaxed, perfectly patriotic Arizona physician Dr. Zuhdi Jasser to Canadian imam Aly Hindy, who embraces the fatal stoning of adulterers. "It's not controversial," he laughs, waving a Koran. "This is Islam."
Tariq Fatah also appears in the film. This Toronto-based TV host calls himself "a 9-to-5 Muslim." He wears suits and wields no rocket-propelled grenades. Like other Muslims in this picture, he has endured violent attacks from Islamists who detest his joviality.
"These people are opposed to happiness," he told his Manhattan audience. "And a constitution that mentions the pursuit of happiness is a problem for them."
Fatah argues that politically correct PBS executives "believe you are a genuine Muslim only if you look like a Muslim." Sans beards, burqas and blood in their eyes, Fatah says, PBS officials regard Muslims like him as inauthentic and thus unworthy of consideration.
Gaffney, an executive producer of "Islam," wants Americans to "raise some hell," until PBS either shows the film or lets another channel broadcast it. He hopes citizens will call PBS at and urge them to air the documentary. FreeTheFilm.net suggests other ways to promote this movie.
"Everyone whose tax dollars went into making this film should have the chance to see it for themselves and make up their own minds," Gaffney says. "That's all we ask."
