In the mighty Qu'ran you are instructed not to dispute with the people of the Book. You are to believe in the revelation sent down to them and the revelation sent down to you.

John 1:1 says that the Word was with God and was God. To be with God is different than being God. The word incarnate is not in the Bible. However, the Bible does say that Christ is the image of God. This is what Baha'is believe, that the Manifestations are like perfectly polished mirrors which reflect God's attributes. Therefore, if one were to declare "I am God" He speaks the truth and if one were to declare "I am a man" or "I am a Prophet" he also speaks the truth.

When Jesus said that he "came down from heaven" many people didn't understand that he was not speaking literally. Baha'u'llah has said that he has "come down" again even as he came down the first time (not literally descending from the sky)

I don't have my Bible near me and I'm not great at memorizing where things are. But when John the Baptist what prophesying Christ's appearance, he said "All mankind will see their salvation." Therefore, this must be taken symbolically. Similarly, Revelation says that all eyes will see Him, even those who pierced Him. This must be taken symbolically because those who "pierced Him" were alive 2000 years ago.

Many, many Hadith (Traditions) were manufactured. So many that at one time they numbered 350,000. The idea that women should be hidden inside cloth comes from men. This notion is not in the Noble Qur'an, the only perfect guide to such matters. There we are told they should cover their ornaments. "they should draw their veils over their bosoms". 24:31 Yusuf 'Ali Trans. That doesn't mean being totally covered. It means what it says, covering their breasts.

Indeed. Islam is the same truth Alah has revealed through all his prophets and messengers, ending with Muhammad (saw), to every people and every nation. It is the same way of life Allah (swt) has prescribed us mankind since its creation. Perhaps if you look closely to my previous comments you'll notice I've said nothing to contradict this fact.

The Quran is nothing but a set of laws to be obeyed and never questioned. The result is Islam, the perfect dictatorship. No matter how atrocious the acts perpetrated by muslims against others, including muslims alike, as long as those acts are sanctioned by Islamic law, nobody is to question them, and those who do are punished, or executed. Muslims insist on calling Islam the religion of peace, meaning those who stay quiet will live and those who do not will die so either way there will be peace

"Islam" means "submission to the Will of God". It should not be taken as a label like "McDonald's". If you look closely you will see that Abraham, Moses and Jesus are called "Muslims" in the Noble Qur'an. How can one explain that in light of your response?
