Quran 49.01: “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise (each other)). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).”   4-   - Some TV Channels  are banned since they are talking about aggression = = it is anti-Semitic.

We (Muslims) make no distinction among any of the prophets (Adma, Noah, Abraham, Jesus, Mohammad,etc), and unto Him (God) we have surrendered." Quran: 006.108 “Abuse not those whom they pray  apart from God, since by that they will abuse God in revenge without knowledge” Quran 29:46...

Quran 002.177: “…but righteousness is this that one should believe in God and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil)." Quran 009.060: “The alms are for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of God, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by God.

Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for God (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence by charging interest) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever)."  Quran: 2.276: "God will deprive usury (interest) of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loves not creatures ungrateful and wicked. "   Jesus (PBUH) -Some people consider his message an obsolete one. - Some people believe that his message contradicts the Old  Testament (Torah). -Some people believe in him but do not follow his path - Some people deny him or his Miracles A person can not be considered  Muslim if  he does not believe  in Jesus as an illustrious prophet. Quran 003.045 "(And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! God gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto God). " Quran 005.046 : "And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil)." .Quran 005.110 : "When God says: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto you and unto your mother; how I strengthened you with the holy Spirit, so that you spoke unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught you the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how you did shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and did blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and you did heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how you did raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) you when you came unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is nothing else than mere magic;         Prophets: Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammad , & others - You can still be considered a Jew even if you deny Jesus - You can still  beconsidered a Christian  even if you deny Mohammad - You can still be considered  either a Jew or Christian even if you believe that  some  prophets commit some  great sins. A person can not be considered  Muslim if  he/she denies, or insults any prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Quran 002.136: "Say (O Muslims): We believe in God and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered. " Quran 003.033  "God did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-   Muhammad (PBUH)  -  “demon-possessed pedophile,” (as the reverend Jerry Vainer  described him). - Terrorist - Liar - Thinker - Great Leader  but not a prophet   Quran 005.015 : " O people of the Book (Christians and Jews)! There has come to you our Messenger (Muhammad), revealing to you much that you used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There has come to you from God a (new) light and a perspicuous Book," : Quran 007.157  "Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper." .
