But in doing so she inadvertantly made a very strong distinction between Christianity and Islam, Jesus was not a Prophet. Even though both religions are similar in that they both had Prophets, nowhere in the Bible do you see Jesus struggle with the part of Him which is "human". <br /><br /><br />This book has shown me the similarities and distinctions of the three major religions (Judiasm, Islam and Christianity) and in doing so I am much more interested and more sensitive to the true struggle of Muslims to be seen as peaceful people especially in the aftermath of September 11th. The principles of this religion have not changed but are hearts have been hardened to this majority people. It took this book for me to look beyond the bias.Jenny Fleischmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638765377990548750.post-14885106656230990712010-01-22T01:09:36.874-05:002010-01-22T01:09:36.874-05:00I read and reviewed Islands Apart by Ken McAlpine,...I read and reviewed <a href="http://thekoolaidmom.wordpress.com/2010/01/22/islands-apart-by-ken-mcalpine/" rel="nofollow">Islands Apart by Ken McAlpine</a>, which is about the Channel Islands in California.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638765377990548750.post-62181885968367963842010-01-21T14:05:52.440-05:002010-01-21T14:05:52.440-05:00I read Nim's Island by Wendy Orr with my daugh...I read <i>Nim's Island</i> by Wendy Orr with my daughter.
