This was his answer....he says that the verses in the Qur'an was not clear enough, so he added to them to emphasize the point.

I think u misinterpreted Faris words not sure why, I dont believe Faris meant that the verses of Quran were not clear enough. First off, what is quoted here is not the verse but rather translation of the meaning. Faris putting between brackets the words Christians or jews is not adding to the verse he is trying to explain what shirk is. Surely I m not talking on behalf of Faris, but as he is a Muslim brother, I do give myself permission to explain here.
Mahasvapna, just to clarify those who do good deeds but not on the correct path of Allah, receive their reward in this world. As u can clearly see, someone like mother Teresa, she is grandaized and her memory is maitained by people. Mind u Faris is not judging out of his own opinion, he is quoting the Quran. We dont dare to judge no one or even commend our own deeds. We only can always invoke upon Allah To accet our deeds. But never to praise our own or others deeds because no one can actually know the true intention behind any deed. Unless the intention is purely to Allah, the fruit is lost. For instance, one of the advantages for a Muslim after death, when he/she is not allowed to do good deeds no more, is that the person carries out what is called sadaqa jariay which translates as current charity. As for example building a masjed for people to pray, printing Quran for people to read and the like. Each time a person prays in this masjed or reads in this quran the deseased receives a reward. Again the deed must be strictly to please Allah and not be under no circumstances carrying a bit of the desire to show off, brag or be praised by people. Once this feeling (O how people think of me) entered into the heart, the deeds are somehow suspicious till one clears the heart.
