		<description><![CDATA[That CNN opinion post missed lots of chances to add scrutiny to the Biblical narrative on Noah. Nowhere is there a mention of any of the myths that preceded and inspired the story or of the fact that the biblical account has two versions of the story embedded within it. Asking Aslan to opine on Noah was silly, since he is not a Biblical scholar. But, true to form, Reza couldn&#039;t miss an opportunity with his dismissive and bludgeoning treatment of this still very popular tale from Genesis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks, but it was kind of a rhetorical question.  A &quot;prophet&quot; in Islam is a co-opted leader of someone else&#039;s religion.  They make up their own back story, and a whole new &quot;narrative&quot; for their acquired &quot;prophet&quot;.  

The only claim Islam has to being an &quot;Abrahamic&quot; religion is that Ishmael was the bastard son of Abraham, turned out from the family for his evil, immoral ways. His sword against everyone....plus ça change, plus c&#039;est la même chose.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can &quot;Noah be a prophet in Islam&quot;?
Noah was NOT a prophet. He was the tenth generation after Adam.
The details of the Flood - and its aftermath - as detailed in Genesis, are accurate, but as in ALL aspects of the Torah (the &quot;Old Testament&quot;) the function of the text is to TEACH (Torah = teaching). We learn that totally rejecting the word of God has its consequences. These are not (I stress NOT) the Pres. Obama &#039;consequences&#039; vis-a-vis Pres. Putin.

NONE of the people appearing in the Torah are Muslim &quot;prophets&quot;. 
Either Islam has its own &quot;Prophet&quot; (the One-and-Only - p#ss be upon him) or it has to steal from other religions. Now there&#039;s a novel idea for a &quot;religion&quot;. Shabbat Shalom]]></description>
