Not Gabriel: Jesus Versus Muhammad – A Conservative Theological Reckoning
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:13–14
"He [Muhammed] seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us … In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men” — Saint Thomas Aquinas
There are faiths that improve the human condition and faiths that degrade it. There are faiths that build civilisations and faiths that destroy them.
The foundation of Islam rests on a moment in a cave — the alleged appearance of the angel Gabriel to Muhammad in 610 AD, commanding him to "Recite!"
Muslims claim this was the first of many divine revelations, making Muhammad the final prophet in a line from Adam through Jesus.
But from a conservative Christian standpoint, it was not Gabriel who appeared to Muhammad, but Satan masquerading as an angel of light.
The fruits of that encounter, the theological reversals it initiated, and Muhammad’s own conduct lead us to only one possible conclusion: Islam is not a continuation of Biblical truth, but a spiritual counterfeit, and Muhammad a false prophet.
The Encounter in the Cave: Terror, Confusion, and a False Gospel
According to Islamic sources, when Muhammad first received his ‘revelation,’ he was physically seized, pressed violently, and left in a state of terror. He believed he had encountered a jinn (a spirit being akin to a demon), and was so distraught that he considered committing suicide.
It was only later, through the persuasion of his wife Khadijah and her cousin Waraqah — a heterodox Christian — that Muhammad became convinced the being was the angel Gabriel.
Contrast this with the Biblical pattern: when angels appear to God’s people, their first words are often “Fear not.”
There is awe, but never trauma. There is clarity, not confusion. There is peace, not compulsion. There is never suicidal despair. This early episode alone casts deep suspicion on the nature of Muhammad’s experience.
Scripture tells us clearly:
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” — 1 John 4:1
Muhammad did not test the spirit. Instead, he submitted to it — and proceeded to preach a message that contradicted the Gospel in every essential point.
A Gospel Reversed
Muhammad began by attempting to co-opt the Judeo-Christian tradition, inserting himself into its prophetic lineage. He plagiarised stories from the Torah and the New Testament, altered them to suit his narrative, and declared that the Jews and Christians had corrupted their Scriptures — which he was now correcting.
Those familiar with the original stories — including the Jews and literate Meccans — quickly recognized the distortions and called him a “forger.”
Far from confirming previous revelation, Muhammad systematically reversed it:
-Jesus is reduced from Son of God to mere prophet.
-The crucifixion is denied (Surah 4:157).
-The resurrection is rejected.
-God is stripped of His Fatherhood.
-The Trinity is declared blasphemy.
-Salvation by Grace is replaced with salvation by adherence to sharia law.
-The assurance of salvation is replaced with lifelong uncertainty and merit-based judgment.
This is not continuation. It is corruption. It is, in Paul’s words, “another gospel,” and therefore, under divine curse:
“Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we preached to you, let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8
Jesus and Muhammad: Two Opposite Spirits
A comparison of Jesus and Muhammad — according to their own sources — makes clear they were moved by entirely different spirits.
Jesus taught love and forgiveness for all humankind. Muhammad taught hatred and death for anyone who rejected Islam or left it.
Jesus refused Satan’s offer of worldly power. Muhammad, by his own admission, accepted it:
“I have been made victorious through terror, and while I slept the keys to all the treasures of the world were placed into my hand.” (Sahih Bukhari 4:52:220)
Jesus taught equality of all people before God. Muhammad’s teachings reflect racism and misogyny:
-He called a Black man “raisin-head.”
-He linked darkened skin to disgrace and punishment, saying believers’ faces would be white on Judgment Day, disbelievers’ black (Surah 3:106).
-He taught that women are intellectually and spiritually deficient.
-Muslim women are worth half the witness of a man in court testimony.
-Non-Muslims could be enslaved and sexually exploited.
Jesus treated children with reverence. Muhammad, aged 53, married six-year-old Aisha then consummated the marriage when he was 56, and she was nine. Aisha was still playing with dolls.
Jesus condemned murder. Muhammad sanctioned it against apostates, critics, and unbelievers. His teachings allowed stoning, execution for leaving Islam, and death for homosexuals — including detailed prescriptions for sexual behavior and punishment.
Jesus prevented the stoning of an adulterous woman, declaring, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Muhammad ordered stonings — even of repentant women who confessed sin.
Jesus taught that lying is always sin. Muhammad taught that lying is permissible:
-To one’s wife
-To reconcile disputes between believers
-to deceive the Kuffaar [non-Muslims] for strategic advantage
Jesus offered eternal communion with God. Muhammad promised a remote deity who always remains aloof from his creation; and a brothel and a tavern for believing men:
-72 virgins who never menstruate, urinate, defecate, or have nasal secretions, and are restored to virginity overnight to be eternally deflowered
-Eternal erections and the sexual stamina of 100 men
-Rivers of wine, forbidden on earth but indulged in paradise
-No such reward for women, who are bound to their earthly husbands — if they’re not too busy with their 72 houris
Jesus gave His life for humanity and rose from the dead. Muhammad vowed to take the lives of all who rejected him, died from poisoning, and was not resurrected.
The Fruit of Each: Heaven and Hell Contrasted
Jesus warned us:
“Beware of false prophets… By their fruits shall ye know them.” — Matthew 7:15–20
The fruit of Christianity, for all its faults in history, is clear:
-The abolition of slavery
-The elevation of women
-The foundation of hospitals and schools
-private property rights
-Decalogue-based legal systems
-The concept of universal human rights
-The triumph of forgiveness over revenge
The fruit of Islam:
-270 million dead through conquest, jihad, and slavery
-The institutional subjugation of women
-Theocratically prescribed violence
-Suppression of conscience and free thought
-The enslavement of those deemed Kuffaar (infidels)
John 10:10 states that Jesus preached: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
The verse contrasts the destructive purpose of a "thief" with Jesus's purpose of providing an abundant spiritual life for people.
The "thief" represents anyone or anything that seeks to harm or deceive, aiming to steal, kill, and destroy. This describes a spiritual enemy that seeks to take hope, kill faith, and destroy relationships.
Western civilisation — in its laws, rights, and moral framework — is based on Christian principles.
Islamic civilisation, where applied consistently, steals these things. It brings legal tyranny, social stagnation, and spiritual oppression. That is not bigotry; it is historical observation.
Conclusion: By Their Fruits
The truth is clear to any who will see it. Muhammad did not receive revelation from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
He did not receive divine correction to distorted Scriptures. He received a counterfeit gospel through demonic deception, and passed it off as truth.
The being in the cave was not Gabriel. It was Satan in disguise — and the centuries of violence, fear, and bondage that followed bear witness to the counterfeit spirit that birthed Islam.
Jesus Christ remains the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Him — not through submission, not through law, not through jihad. He calls Muslims, too, to repentance and grace.
“There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12
Let the reader understand. Let the Christian stand firm. And let the truth be known.
If the previous Pope was bad, the current one is even worse! It is like the 'College of Cardinals' have abandoned their faith and basic duty and signed on to wokeism and collective suicide. Utter shame!
I am Catholic, and I am very ashamed about the behavior of the popes and other Catholic clergy in power. I wish it were different. I speak out about it to my ordinary friends and to my parish priest. (Thanks to my letters to the priest and parish council, the lady wearing a keffiyeh has been banned from lectoring, and new strict policies about wearing political symbols have been enacted. Wish I could do more...)
Forget God and Allah. They, of course, like all gods, do not exist.
Mohammad was a 7th century War Lord - nothing more. The Koran - whatever it purports to be - is a turgid and tedious catalogue of repetitive edicts made by other violent, war lords.
Mecca? The Kabba? These people worship a black stone - a meteorite, as people in that region had being doing for millennia before.
This attitude towards the problems faced by women by the illegal migrant community is also ignored by people on the evangelical Protestant side of the Church. It is not exclusively a Catholic hierarchy problem.
No surprise here. During WW II the pope never called out the Nazi butchers for dehumanizing and killing innocent Jews. Historically, popes have been invested in doing whatever it takes to preserve the riches of the Vatican! It has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with greed.
well said. the catholic church's complicity sickens me. on top of all the other betrayals by that institution, it really makes me wonder what serious catholics are supposed to do.
“Because Muslims are Abraham’s descendants, Massignon concluded, “they have the right to equality among the monotheisms descended from Abraham to participate in the double promise made to Abraham, that of the Messiah and that of the Holy Land,” he wrote.”
Did Massignon bother to read the Quran ? He was supposed to be a Christian scholar of Islam. This statement is just sheer ignorance. The Quran and Haddiths alone shows anyone who has bothered to read them that Mohammad wasn’t in dialogue with the God of the Jews or the God of Jesus. Just because it’s supposedly a monotheistic religion doesn’t make it good. Are these Catholics for real ?
Thank you for this post. Now I can see it’s really worst than I thought. The Catholic Church has joined the useful idiots brigade.
Joined them. I suddenly see that the Catholic church has been leading this brigade
It makes me weep. Betrayed to Islam by the very people that should be standing against it. Jesus help us all.
Yes, in Jesus name we pray, Amen!!!

Your last paragraph is spot on
Full agreement. Thank you for your succinct and accurate ideas.
This attitude towards the problems faced by women by the illegal migrant community is also ignored by people on the evangelical Protestant side of the Church. It is not exclusively a Catholic hierarchy problem.
No surprise here. During WW II the pope never called out the Nazi butchers for dehumanizing and killing innocent Jews. Historically, popes have been invested in doing whatever it takes to preserve the riches of the Vatican! It has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with greed.
Judaism warns to be aware of false prophets.
Can it be for muslims, once an abrahamic believe systems, mhamed was the false prophet they choose to embrace with catastrophic results for islam?
Devastating critique, including so much that we missed at the time.
Thank you.
I'd add Salman Rushdie, Regensburg too
But you're so correct to focus on the new pillars of Islam getting set after 9/11 and probably finished by Fort Hood, 2009.
Excellent finds, and now- with Pachemana and the Sinai Declaration project now underway after COP 2022?
It's going to get much worse ,Islam enforcement with a Vatican bubblewrap for the chainmail . Made in China of course.
well said. the catholic church's complicity sickens me. on top of all the other betrayals by that institution, it really makes me wonder what serious catholics are supposed to do.
Such actions cannot be excused. They are a profound betrayal of our Christian heritage and serve only to fatally undermine the West.
So catholicism killing itself
Idiots indeed.
Did the Pope ever respond to the 5,800 former Muslims?
“Because Muslims are Abraham’s descendants, Massignon concluded, “they have the right to equality among the monotheisms descended from Abraham to participate in the double promise made to Abraham, that of the Messiah and that of the Holy Land,” he wrote.”
