An interesting dialogue ?
Missionary: Was Jesus the Messiah ? Muslim: Yes.
Missionary: Was Mohammad the Messiah? Muslim: No
Now, the Missionary stops there, and hopes that the Muslim would start thinking, "now, wait a minute, Jesus is the Messiah, and Mohammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam is not the Messiah. Maybe Jesus is better!"
What the Muslim should ask the Missionary is about this word Messiah: Jesus was the Messiah, but were there any other Messiahs besides Jesus ?
Now you find out how well he knows his Bible. Because there were many Messiahs: David, Solomon, and even Cyrus [sp?] the Persian were called Messiah. Its hard to find it in the Bible because the translators cover it over. Messiah means "annointed". Messiah is somebody who has been picked to do a job.
Every king of ancient Israel was called Messiah. Now the word doesn't sound so special anymore. It is a title, but it doesn't particularly elevate one to some divine status.

An ordinary Muslim is not equal to a practising Muslim.
