   It doesn't matter as long as Islam clearly insists that Abraham spoke to   
   Allah and that Jesus was sent by Allah. It is not necessary (or even   
   possible) for a Christian to maintain that Mohammed was wholly right,   
   but it cuts off all possibility of reasoned debate to say that Mohammed   
   did not mean what he said. I would excise the Mormons from the world of   
   (shall we say?) El Shaddai before Islam.
