The bishop of Hildesheim in Germany paid an imam a courtesy visit in his mosque. The imam handed the Catholic prelate a Koran, which he joyfully accepted. But when the bishop tried to present the imam with a Bible, the Muslim cleric just stared at him in horror and refused to even touch Christianity's holy book.

This is why at some point the West will realize the first step in really fixing this problem will require making Mecca a place that used to be on the map.

The bishop naively thought the imam was being "ecumenical", as it might be with Protestants, Jews, or even Hindus. But the imam was inviting the bishop to Islam.

The Muslims claim Adam, Noah, the major Jewish prophets, and Jesus as prophets of Islam. And after all the notion of submission to God's will was not invented by Muhammad, was it? Twisted by him yes.

They claim that the Torah given to Moses and the Gospels were correct until those rotten Jews and Christians rewrote them. Seventh century higher critics.
