"[The Jewish and Islamic Laws]'re both a load of crap. I reject him as a prophet because Allah doesn't exist, and Muhammad was nothing more than power-hungry caravan-robbing cult leader." (Forrest, Yahoo Answers). Then.....what do you call Jesus...?

@TruthRev..The logic that I am using is quite simple, no? Jesus and Mohammed were extremely similar. The main difference, really, is the time that they lived.. So if Mohammed was that type of person, would that make Jesus the same type? Again, taking to account that they did some of the same actions in their lifetimes.
I'm appreciating these answers, by the way.

@TruthRev..Watch this...I'm also Catholic. Funny how someone can automatically shoot down someone from the same denomination of their own. If your studies of Catholicism haven't taught you to welcome your own, much less foreigners as your own, something's seriously wrong...

@TruthRev....I would hardly call these things facts.. I mean, it can not be actually known how many 9-year-olds these men have had sex with..What can be noted is the effect that these men have had, and how it carries on today. In other words, contemporary Christianity(especially Catholicism) and Islam have several similarities which cannot be ignored. It is through that which we see the similarities of the teachings and lives of the men who started these religions.

All hatred and ignorance is wrong. You must respect all people.
What's puzzling you? Someone is intolerate of Judaism & Islam - and is venting his less than thoughtful views. Muhammad has nothing to do with Judaism, so he's rejecting Judaism because he thinks poorly of Muhammad? He thinks poorly of Muhammad because of some shallow bashing statement?
What's Jesus got to do with your question?
FYI as a Jew who sees a lot of antisemitism in YAs & the internet & also in real life --- his distain for Judaism as a religion is not antisemitism. It's a perfectly legit view to think something is baloney, including someone's religion. However, if he hated Jews, or called them Christ-killers, or applied different standards to Israel than to other countries -- he'd be expressing antisemitism.
I -would- call his views anti-Muslim & edging into bigotry because it's an over the top generalization. I'd guess that if he can be that way with Islam, that he's also that way with Judaism even though he didn't actually express it in what you've quoted.
Just because one religion is false doesn't mean they all are. In fact, one has to be right.
Edit:
What are you talking about? Jesus and Mohammmed are completely different. Mohammed was a warlord. He had sex with a 9 year old. Jesus was a pacifist whose message was love. He was celibate so that he could focus on his ministry.
Mohammed claimed that the Christian N.T. had been corrupted. We have early documentation that proves otherwise. Mohammed ripped off the O.T. and N.T. and used it to control the people.
Edit: I'm not shooting you down(though your question doesn't espouse much faith in Jesus). I'm pointing out the clear differences. These aren't my opinions. These are facts about Mohammed. He does not resemble Jesus.
Edit:
I have nothing against Muslims personally. My problem is with Muhammed. There are Muslims whose faith inspires them to act in a very Godly way.
"The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." - Catechism of the Catholic Church
I would reply to those who says that Muhammad was nothing more than a power-hunger.
If Muhammad was a power Hunger. He would tell people to honor him as a God but he didn't.
If Muhammad was a power hunger he would have told to the people that I am the PROMISED MESSIAH but he promoted Jesus.
If Muhammad was a power hunger he would promote that his mother (Aminah) is the pious woman chosen above all the nations.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would probably make himself better than a Prophet/Messenger. (i.e son of god or part of god)
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would never call Israel as God's chosen and blessed people.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would probably fight for the crownship,
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he wouldn't let himself to starve and fast most of the times when he had nothing to eat.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would never let his soldiers to fight against his enemies but donot harm children, women and weak (poor/old) people and not harm the crops or burn it.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would take the money from Ahl-e-Makkah (People of Mecca) in power and become the leader of them and keep his prophecy quiet and rule as a King.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would probably build a palace for himself in this world. He would probably have a different code dress to identity himself to be superior than others.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would never let himself to live a life like a poor man.
If Muhammad was a power hunger, he would probably have soldiers around his house to protect him and sleep all the nights comfortably (Instead he used to pray most of the time at nights).
@Forest ... Muhammad RASOOL Allah (Messenger = a Man - not God) :-D .. You forgot Jesus said
"Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him:" [John 13:16]
Muhammad's wife was loaded but he never lived his life like a King... he used to starve, wore simple, never decorated his house. XD
