I think this discussion strayed slightly from the study of simply Islam, and brought in the ideas of other religions. However, I also feel that this is one way to help us understand not only specific religions better, but religious experience altogether. The idea that each of three of the biggest religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam- are all connected with mentions of Jesus and other prophets as well as the idea that they believe in the same God is an interesting idea that may need further investigation.
However, focusing on Islam- a key question that I found interesting was the idea of language changing beliefs. I think the fact that Muslims learn a minimal amount of arabic in order to study the religion is a fascinating practice and one that (you would think) would maintain the authenticity of the religion throughout the years.
Also, I would like to explore in depth the controversies and world wide interpretations of this touchy religion.
