Wiki says: "Quran 3:47 also supports the virginity of Mary, revealing that "no man has touched [her]". 66:12 states that Jesus was born when the spirit of God breathed upon Mary, whose body was chaste.[41]"
Ironically, Jesus Christ and Mother Mary may be more revered, per the Quran and the early Hadiths, in Islam, than even their prophet Mohammed, or Aisha is. I did not mean to put down Islam, but I rather commend it, if that's the case, because then more peaceable relations between Christians and Muslims are possible. Of course, today many Muslim countries persecute Christians, and that's not good. Though the Christian or Christian-majority nations are hardly perfect either, mostly because they allow weapons lobbyists etc to start endless Wars, which must all end.
But yeah, since Christians and Muslims will likely constitute 70% of the World's Population in the next 25-30 odd years, if not sooner, then peaceful relations between Christians and Muslims are of the greatest importance to World Peace. I pray for Peace. But let's see how Atheism does before then. It's unclear if there will ever be even 500 MN Strong As, let alone 3+ Billion, like there probably will be Cs and Ms by 2050.
Yes, the Muslims revere Issa. Why do you think that means a population victory for Muslims is a win for Christianity? Islam is still not Christianity.
Atheism is picking an odd way to die, we're about 4% self-described atheists in the USA now, but we were about half that a decade ago. According to Gallup polls, the percentage of American answering 'No' to the question 'Do you believe in God?' has risen from 1% in 1967 to 12% in 2017.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
