Don ~~ We all know about Abraham & Moses & Jesus being revered prophets to Islam, and the Jews & Christians being fellow "People of the Book". So I wonder why actual Muslim practice has always run so counter to what would appear to be the actual and intended implications of these particular teachings of the Prophet? Or why the Prophet so emphatically enjoined the destruction of these People elsewhere in his works?...

As a BTW: inconsistencies in the Judeo-Christian Bible & other holy books can be written off as due to multiple authorship over an extended period. That won't do as a theory with regard to Islamic teachings, will it? It is all the Prophet's work, eh?
