I've always found that odd.

In the past, Protestants and Catholics hated one another.

Nowadays, Protestants and Catholics get along just fine ... unless you count a few crazy protestant NWO conspiracy nuts ... and Ireland.

It turned out the book has actually an English version:

https://www.amazon.com/Priest-Prophet-C ... 0965668398


but under a different name, the guy used a pseudonym when he wrote the original book in Arabic, but later he revealed his true name, he is Joesph Azzi, a Lebanese Christian clergy man.

^ "Christian" here actually means the non-trinitarian christian - an ebionite, not the modern Christianity that we know.

Yes.


Sorta. Christianity and Islam both seem to be built on a mixture of Judaism and various Iranic faiths (Zoroastrianism, Mandaeism, Manichiism, Mithraism, etc). Things are further complicated by Judaism absorbing influence from those faiths as well, but basically the various Iranic faiths played a significant and often understated role due to the Jewish influence being more obvious.

The Druze faith, Bábism and the Ba'hai faith might also be lumped into the same general family, directly all appear to be offshoots of Islam, but clearly take influence from earlier religious ideas from the region. The Iranic influences are sometimes described as gnostic or sufi, but ultimately are woven into even 'non-gnostic' Christianity and 'non-Sufist' Islam.

I explained this better last year: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=337822&p=7479398&#p7479398
