Wow-the prophet Muhammad looks quite a bit like Jesus

[Philosoraptor]

I mean, they could be brothers, or at least cousins.

[Blue_In_AK]

1. Yeah, I believe they were cousins.

Going back to Abraham.

[xultar]

2. All the different religions are stories about the same people in the same place

along different points in time.

So yes, there is a reason they look alike. They are such beautiful people.

I just wish that the Israelis and Palestinians hell everyone over there would realize they are relatives and quit fighting.

[AuntPatsy]

10. How sad that none of these so called religious truth tellers can even take the word of "their God

or Gods" as the case may be seriously because if they did, they would have to admit to themselves that if God did indeed make "man" than that in itself should be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that we are all related regardless of the color of our skin and or birthplace and as such should treat eachother as good brothers should do...

It is just not the Israelis and Palestinians who need to realize this little quip from thier own bible stories...

[xultar]

17. AMEN AuntPatsy, You know what else. Why are people so upset about Jesus being a man.

To me that would be wonderful. Jesus was a good guy, great person and possibly a father. I think it would be cool to know that he was a regular guy who did such wonderful things to help people. I'm not talking miracles and stuff like that. I'm saying there are healers of touch...perhaps that trait exists today because healers back in the day had that ability.

Jesus was working and ensuring that people were fed, cared for, leading people to do right and not corrupt things. How wonderful would it be that a man did all those things for mankind back in the day. Perhaps if Jesus wasn't thought of as a god we'd have more wonderful people in our society today.

But a girl can only dream....

[jberryhill]

22. "realize they are relatives and quit fighting"

Ummm... that's why they ARE fighting.

None of them is saying, "Hey, let's go after the Chinese!"

3. Where'd you find this?

I'm surprised because ALL depictions of the prophet are forbidden, even complimentary ones.

[Philosoraptor]

8. Here...with an explanation

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=the+prophet+muhammad&gbv=2&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=the+prophet&gs_rfai=

Islam's prophet Muhammad ibn Abd Allah. Representations of the Prophet are well known from early on, but are not very common. While some Muslims hold beliefs that it is against Islam to make images of the Prophet, others have more relaxed attitudes, and among Shia Muslims, such pictures are common, and much liked.

12. Learn something new every day. Thanks. nt

[NoPasaran]

4. Honestly, all the Earth People look alike to me

[NightWatcher]

5. uh oh, I guess they are going to shut down DU now (as though it were SouthPark )

[twilo73]

6. If you remove the turbant it's practically the same image I see every week in church.

[WeDidIt]

20. It's that shiny halo effect. n/t

[leeroysphitz]

30. If you remove the turban and gve him a joint he looks like my cousin Wayne. n/t

[okieinpain]

7. i thought they were the same. just different names. n/t.

[HereSince1628]

9. If you've seen one prophet you've seen them all.

Personally, I think there is more similarity to Gilgamesh. But then I have NEVER seen a prophet firsthand.

[sui generis]

11. Jayzus did not wear that foreigner eurogay guyliner mascara

how dare you!!!!!

He looks more like Freddy Mercury. :silly:

Yep - oddly the color blue would NEVER have been used in robes by the poor, for many reasons besides lack of access to blue cloth. At least not in that region. And Yeshua would have likely been pretty semitic looking, with curly brown hair, slightly coarser features than typically attributed and, uh, not very tall or commanding in his presence. Kind of squatty and wide actually, aligned with common skeletal characteristics of the time.

[elehhhhna]

24. MY Jesus was a white man

with gorgeous big blue eyes!

He must have really stood out from
The other Arab guys.

[rcrush]

13. OH CRAP WERE GONNA GET BOMBED!

[Javaman]

14. It's the beard thing.

some sandles, a flowing robe...

[Rex]

15. Kinda really stupid if you think about all the death and wars over

the same God. I'm sure by now if there really is a God, he/she/it/they moved on to another planet - humans proved to be too stupid to believe in anything but themselves.

[Oregone]

16. You have a picture of the prophet?

Now...you realize thats not..."kosher"

[PufPuf23]

18. Muhammad and Jesus look quite a bit like pretty hippy guys

and are an example of the fact that many hippies do bathe and wear clean and elegant clothes at times.

Peace and love too

[Philosoraptor]

19. hhmmmm...the original portrait has vanished...here's another

[leveymg]

21. Neither of them was exactly Aryan or Republican-looking.

Nothing like this:



or this:

[Rambis]

23. Next you will say all religions have a flood myth

wait:think:

God truly has shed his grace on thee -- on this country. He's blessed us, and we better not blow it......Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our founding fathers, they were believers. And George Washington, he saw faith in God as basic to life."

[Philosoraptor]

25. And here is the prophet Saint Nicholas, he don't look too jolly

[Johonny]

26. pretty sure that Obi Wan Kenobi there

[NNN0LHI]

27. He does look a lot like Jeffery Hunter now that you mention it

[Volaris]

28. No....

Don't you silly gooses know that Jesus was a blonde Viking Warrior with eyes like the clearest blue sky and skin as pure as driven snow that will come back to Earth to save (only) America?

[Philosoraptor]

29. Now I wonder if I'm in grave danger

[Philosoraptor]

31. So far....no explosions

[piratefish08]

32. Jesus probably looked more like this. Not like the fair-skinned, surfer Jesus everyone reveres.....
