I have always been intrigued by Christianity and Islam. They both admit that they believe in the old testament. Yet, I find that hypocritical and contradictory towards their beliefs.
The old testament says that the prophet has to be a descendant from David. Neither Jesus or Muhammad were descendants from David, hence, they cannot be the so-called prophet destined to come. (Jesus was a descendent from David, but on his mother's side, which is irrelevant since in Judaism religion comes from the mother and lineage from the father.)
How can Islam and Christianity justify their religion and belief in their prophets if they also believe in the Old Testament?
I was most confused, however, by the fact that Dr. Khan was showing examples of how the Koran could be interpreted to teach peace amongst different religions, but many Imams and spiritual leaders of the religion have very violent interpretations of the text. I just wished that more Muslims could interpret the text in a peaceful way, and not use it as examples for violence against Jews and Westerners (infidels).
