Darleen > They are relevant if you attach them to the New Testament and the birth of Christ as being the birth of the Messiah. That's pushing it. Christ lived virtually 2000 years before the State of Israel was created and he is certainly not considered to be the Messiah by Jews --- maybe by Christians, but certainly not by Jews. And definitely not by the religious ones. Anyway, what difference does it make? These days one can make-up any religion one wants or "modify" existing religions to suit one's tastes however far they deviate from the precepts of the traditional religion eg pedophiles in the Catholic church, gay priests in the Anglican church, or even women rabbis in the reform Jewish temple. In fact, there are Zionist Christians and Jews for Jesus. I imagine it's only a matter of time before we have Jews for Allah. Or maybe Buddhists for Jesus. At least the Muslims can't be accused of "fickleness". Islam considers Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Mohammed --- all the biblical heroes --- to be Prophets. Muslims worship all of them. That's why Islam is so big and growing faster than any other religion. It's "All Inclusive". And that's why the West is so jealous.
