    Well, what's a prophet? Some wanker comes along sprouting bollocks claiming it's from god, people believe said bollocks, and voila! You have a prophet.

    I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here and give Mo a point. For better or for worse, the guy managed to convince a huge section of humanity of a story he made up in his own mind. Call him what you will, but that is an accomplishment, I guess.

    I’ll take that point away from Dhul Kifl because what the f*ck did he do anyway?

    I'll toss a 1+ Yunus again, because I really like the guy. If I had a son, I had already decided years ago he would be named Yusuf or Yunus  Roll Eyes

    Hey, man, resurrecting my kill? I guess that's fitting, though, none of us seem to be able to shake Mohammed.

    Who was Shuaib in the OT? I thought he was one of the Arab prophets Mo made up like Salih and Hud.

    Ya'qub, father of Yusuf, is also an ass-hole especially if you go after the more detailed version in OT. He basically enabled Yusuf's brothers to hate him because he preferred him over them so obviously. So Ya'qub -1. I'll give Harun +1 because he had to deal with Moses, who didn't appreciate him enough and just criticized him.

    Oh, right. "Wa ilaa madyana akhaahum shu'aibaa"

    Then with musa…

    "Fa labithta sineena fi ahli madyan…"

    I guess I never put 2 and 2 together that both were in Madyan. Shu’aib's story in the Qur’an is way different than Jethro in the OT and Mo never explicitly linked the two, I don't think.

    Thanks, CF! You taught me something new today! (Not sure what use I’ll ever put it to, but it’s good to know I guess. Grin ”

    +1 Yunus, God was an ass to him and he lived in a whale.
    - 1 Ibrahim, was about to kill his son for Allah.
    +1 Jesus, everyone's favourite cosmic Jewish zombie. He's a hippie in the NT, and I don't think he's an ass in Islam either, apart from the whole "will kill the pigs and destroy the cross" doozy.

    Ayub was really horrible in the quranic description. In OT, he's portayed like a miskeen and fool. But in Islam, he is so "holier-than-thou" and even vows to whip his wife 1000 lashes. Just because she questions why god is such a dick Roll Eyes I'll give 1+ to Yahya cuz he seems pretty harmless.
