I am in the process of learning about Islam, with the eventual intent of converting. Muhammed is NOT a "repackaged Jesus" but an entirely different person. Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet and a good man, just not the son of God. Muhammed is the greatest of all the prophets and he is the one who wrote the Qu'ran (through divine inspiration). I was born and raised a Christian but in the last few years began to have my doubts. While I still call myself a "Christian" I know in my heart that's not what I really am. I am hoping that Islam has what I need, but if it's not, I'll keep looking. And yeah, maybe religion is just a "crutch for weak people" but I can't help what I believe.
