Bismillah:
Quote:Dan,
As any good Muslim you believe that Jesus was born of a virgin. Since Jesus was born in this out of the ordinary and miraculous fashion He wasn't tainted by original sin.
There are many other people who were born in this same way, you did not read what <b>Church Father Origen says in the second century </b>, he lists a number of Pagan Gods<b> “who were in fact human beings”</b> who born of virgins: <b>Danae, Melanippe, Auge and Antiope.</b> Origin, Against Celsus 1, 37
According to Hinduism, Krishna too born of a Virgin, they have their history recorded books on these events. But that will not make Krishna as God the Creator, nor is the virgin birth of Jesus going to make him God or superior to others.
And since anyone is born of a women is a sinner according to the Bible, then you have to include Jesus because he was too born of a women, whether she was a virgin or not it does not really matter, because there are other people out there were born of a virgin.

Wael.
