An Introduction to the Hidden Treasures of Islam — Page 157
157 pure hearted person, that one shudders to hear them. Hence, we have had to retort in defence only to stop people doing this. The Christians have presented such a Yas u ‘(Jesus) who claims divinity and with his own exception he regards everyone (Prophet) from the first to the last as accursed and he found them of committing evil acts as are punishable with condemnation. The Holy Quran has not informed us of such a rude and foul-mouthed Yas u ‘ and we were amazed at his character. Yas u ‘, who himself claims to be God and those who are thousand times better than him, abuses them profusely. So in our writing wherever we referred to Yas u ‘ is the one presented by Christians and this absolutely did not refer to Jesus son of Mary who is respectfully mentioned in the Holy Quran. We adopted this course after listening to an unceasing flow of vituperation and abuses of Christian missionaries. As a matter of reality, Christian missionaries have surpassed all norms of decency in their books, which are packed with vituperation and filthy abuses against the Holy Prophet and Islam. The Promised Messiah as assured those Christian missionary who adopt politeness and decency, they would be treated in different manner. . . . The Quran has not informed us of such an impertinent and foul-mouthed Yas u ‘. We wonder very much at the person who himself laid claim to divinity and abused such pure people as were with him. So in our discourse we mean everywhere the imaginary Jesus of the Christians and not the humble servant of God, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, ‘Is a Ibn Maryam who was a Prophet and who, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, is not at all meant, nor intended to be addressed in these harsh words. We have adopted this form after continuously listening to abuses from Christian missionaries for no less than 40 years.
