11.  How does the Quran differ from the Bible in the story of the death of Jesus?The Quran affirms Jesus was a profit and born from a virgin though it denies he is the son of God. They believe Jesus is divine but he is not God though Christians believe Jesus is part of God.

12. What does the Quran say about warfare? You have the right to fight and when the enemy ceases to fight remember God is merciful and warfare is not always the answer. Muslims may defend themselves only when there is a threat. They should be merciful to those they capture – as Muhammad was when he took over Mecca.
