"I am both Muslim and Christian"

[Karbala]

Assalam Alaikum

The "in other words" part isn't compatible with Catholicism.

Interesting would you be so gracious as to expand on that?


I would disagree with Shabeer Ally and Deedat as well since the idea of someone being crucified and surviving is a bit of a stretch of the imagination.


I also disagree that Judas replaced Isa on the crucifix, the only evidence for that being the Gospel of Barnabus being extremely unreliable.


Personally I believe in the incident narrated by Ibn Abbas through Ibn Kathir that one of Isa's disciples volunteered to be crucified and he was crucified in Isa's place. http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=4&tid=12730


But the point is I wouldnt judge anyone who interprets the Quran to mean that Isa died and then was resurrected. I would disagree with this interpretation but I dont think this makes this person a bad muslim as long as he/she is sincere.
