Ask the Pastor
A suggestion was made that I open a forum for anonymous questions. I think that's a good idea, so I'm posting a thread to encourage that. If you have a question you'd like to ask, please just submit it in the comments below, and if you want it to be anonymous just select that option at the bottom of the comment form. These questions can be theological in nature, or for pastoral advice, or anything that's on your mind. You don't have to do so anonymously but are welcome to do so. I won't promise to answer all of them, but will do my best. I may just answer in the comments but I expect that many of them will become blog posts.
I'll put this up on the sidebar as well for easy access.

Darla,
The religion of Islam began in the early seventh century AD. Muhammad fled Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, and returned to conquer Mecca in 632 AD. That was the beginning of the spread of Islam throughout the world. Abraham lived thousands of years before that. Muslims however believe that Abraham was really a Muslim, one of Allah's prophets, of which Muhammad was the last and greatest. We as Christians reject that claim, as do the Jews. I hope that answers your question.
