#2 I hope they spend time on the Islamic version of Jesus's ancestry. The Koran makes him the son of Miriam (sister of Moses and Aaron).

Of the few Moslems who know this and the fewer still who will discuss this soberly with an infidel, the typical answer is that the reason the timeline looks goofy is that Christians and Jews have distorted the bible.

#3 Philip Lewis, the Bishop of Bradford's aide on inter-faith matters, urged believers on both sides to take advantage of a "worthwhile contribution to understanding a complex issue".

Don't tell that to all the prophets and disciples who for over 1600 years all made the predictions and then who witnessed those predictions come true of God's Son mission on Earth. A simple issue.

#4 I either believe in Christ and am therefor a Christian, or I do not and I am not (I happen to believe) If I believe, then it is a settled issue for me, and the "worthwhile contribution" is in fact just so much hooey...

#5 Fair enough ... When might we expect the sequel: Mohammed as seen by the rest of the civilized world.

#6 Wonder if director and producer, Irshad Ashraf will included the part where Jesus (Issa) comes back to earth and wipe out the Jews and Christians (kill all pigs and break all crosses)? More UK taxpayer funded taqqiya.

#9 "Jesus was rescued by angels and raised to heaven" > IMO, makes Jesus at minima equal to Mohammed, iff not superior. Iff Mohammed was alegedly taken to heaven on a winged horse sent by God, as various srticles all over the Net have described ala Islamic beliefs, IS NOT AN ANGEL A SUPERIOR ENTITY TO A HORSE???

#10 Seriously, we need seething and rioting, and people with signs about how outraged we are....
oh wait...we are actually educated, reasonable, civilized people, not barbaric cretins from the 7th century pretending we belong to a real religion and are actually educated instead of mind controlled from birth.....
silly me

#11 Always to the point, JosephM. For many the documentary will be an eye opener, incomplete though it is. Shortly after 9/11 the PTA brought in a speaker from the nearby (Saudi-built) mosque. One of the teachers just couldn't get past the fact that Muslims do not regard Jesus Christ as one third of the holy trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, that is as divine rather than a mere man, however holy. Not many Westerners doubt the crucifixion happened, and when faced with Islam's insistence that their god deliberately fooled people, many will wonder how a religion that claims to supercede Christianity can have any validity when it insists God is a liar.

#12 touche', TW! I say we go ALL the way back to the root of the entire problem....Isaac vs. Ishmael.

Isaac (the rightful son of Abraham by Sarah, his wife) was in God's chosen lineage, and thus, is the one portrayed as being *almost* slain by his father, when God steps in. He is the descendent of the Judeo-Christian line of beliefs.

Ishmael (the "bastard" son of Abraham, by Hagar, Sarah's nurse-maid) is run out of Dodge and is said to be a donkey of a man, whose descendants would always be at war with Isaac's descendants. He is the one the Muslims claim that Abraham almost killed before God stepped in, and thus, he is on the "loosing" side, as he is NOT the chosen lineage of God (yet, he is the descendant of most Arab people and the Muslims in general).

Granted, this is a "simplified" version of events, yet we see that even now, the descendants of Ishmael are still warring against those of Isaac. How d'ya like them apples, Mr. Melvyn Bragg?
