Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Moslems say one thing, do another
Public relations damage control at it's worse. Many Moslems have been bending over backwards to convince us silly Christians that they really do think that Jesus was one swell guy. He may not be The Second Person in the Holy Trinity, but a swell guy, nonetheless. A Cracker-Jack prophet, to be exact.
And not just any prophet!! Jesus is such an important prophet, He's in the Top Ten of all the 124,000 prophets of Islam. Wow, I'm impressed.
So I wanted to see just how important Jesus really is to the Moslems. Just what names do Moslems give their boys? In case you didn't know, Moslems also name their children after Holy personages. With that said, let's take a gander.
Ibrahim ("Abraham") is pretty common.
Daud ("David") by the dozens.
More Habibs ("Beloved") than you can shake a stick at.
You can't swing a dead cat without hitting entire platoons of Abduls ("Servant").
Samir ("Entertaining companion". I'm not going to touch that one with a ten foot shwarma) is common enough.
Hey... don't even get me started on Muhammad ("Praiseworthy"). I think it's required that every Moslem boy (and half the NFL) be named Muhammad.
But you know what name I've NEVER seen, heard, or read a Muslim male being named? Isa. And yes, you guessed it. Isa is Arabic for Jesus. Gee, I guess Jesus isn't as important to them as they try to convince us, huh?

Interesting point. I like how Islam reserves a tomb just for Jesus, right beside Mohammed's.
I do hope it wasn't too expensive.
Excellent observation.
