coz muslims are by faith suppose to believe in all previous holy books.
so question was for people of christian faith.

and question was not ironic but informative.. but some people turned it to totally different directiion

but never mind.

idea is to discuss interfaith issues and increase our awareness to each other

That is your presumption. It is perfectly possible, though, that there exist people who are classified as 'Muslims' and yet do not 'believe' in 'previous holy books'. Or are you afraid to collect data on this?

muslim is not a muslim if he doesn't believe all previous Prophets , Messengers of God. (we are not talking about so called or illetrate or by-name muslim) .

i agree with u.. there are some muslims as there are christians too , who are just known by-name and are spreading the bad stereotyping about their faith.

good and bad both exist in all faiths, cultures, socities.

but i hope to interact with poeple who are open minded and share their thoughts if possible. if not .. even then its ok

Just imagine muslim traffic cop, "What's your name Ali?". Ali to traffic cop "Who Me"

If you were to take G.Bush to court for causing you major psychological damage, you’d win millions of dollars hands down…

By the same logic, a Christian is not a Christian unless he 'believes' in the Bible, i.e. the Old and New Testaments. If you want to limit your poll to Christians and exclude "illiterate or by-name" Christians then the result of the poll is a foregone conclusion. 100% must believe in both. There is no need even to ask. The whole exercise is tautologic.

songs of solomon 5:16

In the King James translation of the Bible:

Songs of Solomon 5:16

His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

Sorry, no mention of Mohammad there!
