:salam2: everyone,
I was shocked to read the following in an article entitled "Bethlehem 2007 A.D" in the Dec 2007 issue of the National Geographic Magazine:
"For Jews, still awaiting their Messiah, Froman says it's possible that he will arrive right here, in the eroded backcountry of Bethlehem, the presence of God palpable in the desert's sandpaper wind. For Christians anticipating their Messiah's return, why shouldn't he come back to the spot he was born? Muslims do not believe in a messiah - there is only Allah, only God - but Palestinian Muslims also revere this land as sacred, since Jesus is one of their prophets."
I have seen the use of the word "Messiah" in translations of the Quran (eg. 3: 45) so i feel that the above statement is not true.... unless the Jews and Christians have a different interpretation of "Messiah" from the Muslims.
Should feedback about this be given to National Geographic?
