Though your post claims to talk about what is beautiful in Christianity, it is mostly about Islam! Wallace, I disagree. Only the first paragraph of my post mentioned Islam. It does not claim to talk about what is beautiful in Christianity but actually does. Now, see if you can talk about what is beautiful in another religion WITHOUT once mentioning Islam!! I don't know if that's possible. The origin of the admiration or beauty in other religions is largely developed because of what Islam teaches. For example, you mentioned a handful of religions I might go about discussing in my next post. For me to not mention why I think they are beautiful or what I think is beautiful in them completely betrays the purpose of mentioning their attributes. What do I mean?? Well, in Islam, we believe that every nation of this world had its Prophet, its warner; that all people were notified of the path that God wanted them to take. So, using this as our foundation, I as a Muslim can examine any religion and pick apart the superficial tones and what I believe I'll find if I do so is the same message that Islam teaches. Now don't twist my words. I'm not saying that all religions in the world came from God. But I am saying that it's possible some of the ones surviving today were originally from God before being corrupted by man. So, I can examine what religion you'd like me to and I'm fairly sure I can show you the same message in Islam if I pick apart the "additions" that may have accumulated over the years. Peace Be unto you, Norris
