"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

"Worship Allah and join none with him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor, the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is stranger, the companion by your side"The verse in the Qur'an actually has many translations due to the difficulty of translating Arabic to English.

This first verse is a direct challenge to the claims of Christianity that Jesus was God's son. On the Dome of the Rock at Mecca, it is inscribed in various places that Jesus was just a messenger and that it is unthinkable that God would have a son or embodied divinity. This was inscribed after the Crusades (Christians v. Muslims) and is thus a political as well as theological statement.

I had a follow-up thought on the Mario Bros Discipleship post on meeting people where they are in biblical difficulty.
