But no modern scholar accepts that idea, and the Quran is explicit in support of the freedom conscience. The Media has shown Islam as oppressing women, making them invisible, anonymous and voiceless. It implies that women were entirely submerged into a role as wife and mother. The Satanic Verses has brought infamy to Salman Rushdie and has given the media a feel day in exploiting Islam. Many actually believe that Muhammad is the only Messenger that Muslims accept and that Jesus and other prophets of the Old Testament are not believed in or belittled in some way.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
Muslims believe, that Jesus was one of the mightiest messengers of GOD , and hold him in very high esteem. Many equate Islam and Muslims to mean Arabs. Muslims may be any nationality. An Arab could be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or an atheist. Arabs constitute only about twenty percent of the Muslim population.
