Double standard to christianize article

edit

Neutality? All article is one sided and neglects islamic views. Wikipedians should use both views. 1. Islam is first religion according to Islam as another user explained and christianity is first religion according to christianity 2. If christianity is first religion, it will be wrong to write christian views of Islam. Because supposedly christianity is first religion how it has views about Islam. And If it has then how can predate Islam. Rather they are not religios views rather the opinions of Islamophic people. If there is any real reformist who considers both religions equal?

Correct the part in the introduction that says that Muslims believe that Christians are kafirs.

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and also regard them as kafirs (unbelievers) committing shirk (polytheism) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."

Should be changed to

"Muslims view Christians to be People of the Book, and many regard trinitarians as mushrik (polytheists) because of the Trinity, and thus, contend that they must be dhimmis (religious taxpayers) under Sharia law."


To elaborate:[1]

Some do believe they are mushrik, aka associating partners with god, but a person who is committing shirk is not also a kafir, as that is an outright disbeliever. One who does not believe in God is a kafir, committing kufr, and one who does, but associates partners or to a lesser extent associates attributes/powers of God to other beings is a mushrik committing shirk. By nature, the two are mutually exclusive, no read or versed muslim will consider Christians both or even a disbeliever, especially since the Quran explicitly states they are people of the book and believers, though misguided/strayed from the correct path. 50.53.87.243 (talk) 10:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
