text: the angel gabriel makes things complicate.? virgin mary was foretold by the angel gabriel about the son of god of whom she will gave birth. prophet muhamad received his revelations also from the angel gabriel. my question is: why don't muslims acknowledge jesus christ as the son of god? or even why don't christians acknowledge muhammad as one of their prophets? angel gariel foretold the great news and the revelations to mary and muhammad respectively. another related question is,, is gabriel muslim or christian?? before i answer this question, i just want you to know i am not either religion, but my religion encompasses all religions (my beliefs come from studying all religions, so i believe in a lot of stuff from multiple religions including both christianity and muslem).  many people can't find god in the same way, so god has formed many religions, so that more people can find him and know how to treat others, ourselfs, and him.    it's just like some people don't see jesus crist as the savior, that why he said, "forgive them for they no not what they are doing".  in my opinion he said that not because they were killing the son of god, but because they killed him for no just cause.  look at both religions and you will find simular teachings, just done in a different way.
