I can visit the Muslim forum but without a basic foundation in understanding their beliefs, the Koran, there is nothing profitable I can add to the discussion
I disagree with pretty much everything you said here.

Sorry this is off-topic a bit but if a person claims to be Muslim and doesn't believe the Koran is truth, then they are not Muslim.

Since the Bible is CHRISTianity aka a form of religion to the world, and CHRIST followers are CHRISTians per the bible, does anyone know what those who follow the Koran are called by chance?? i know their religion is called Muslim but what does the Koran teach they are called?

It’s even likely that the term “Christian†was used by Antioch’s general population as a derogatory name for these followers of Jesus. The title of “Christians†was given because this group of Jews and Gentiles were followers of Jesus, whom they believed to be the Christos, meaning “the anointed one,†or the Messiah. Throughout the pages of the New Testament these earliest of believers seemed to select other names for themselves like “saints,†“brothers,†and “disciples.†However, in referring to what and who they were following, the earliest self-description we know of is followers of “the Way†(Acts 9:2; 11:26). And this description has no little significance. In describing what we call “Christianity†today as “The Way,†these first followers of Jesus made a radical claim about the person and work of Jesus.

- What were they before they were
