Salman, I do agree what you said. However, I also disagree how you perceive the above because the religions are meant to be a philosophy to guide human race towards righteous path. This doesn't mean that when one do not believe in one's god eg The Buddhist do not believe the Christianity, the Buddhist will descend to hell. Following those ancient's quotation, it was only a guidance or a standard procedures to understand that one cannot embrace more than one religion particularly in our world now where four main religions are widely recognized nowadays.   

Although, I do believe the existent of Prophet Mohammad, I also respect other religion by accepting them as the same path where we are going. The ultimate belief is that WE DO NOT HARM ONE ANOTHER WITH EVILS.

Allah has mentioned in the Qur'an that if any one follows any other religion other than Islam he is among the losers.

even if any one believes in god but follows some other religion, he will remain in hell fire forever.

because Islam contains worship (ibadah) and the act of bowing and prostration to Allah The Most High and there are many other things which make muslims different from people who follow religions other than Islam.

Allah states in the Holy Qur'an:

"The Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam." (Qur'an 3:19)

"If unyone desires a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (their selves in the hell fire)."(Qur'an 3:85)

In addition, Islam is the only religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah states in the Holy Qur'an:

"To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety:..." (Qur'an 5:48)

i suggest that you gain more knowledge of why Islam is the true and unique religion ( if Allah wills )
It is better to be alone than to be in bad company.

So to TRIDENT who is banned but reading this piece of my saying, I am still an open-minded person for I believe there's no GOD other than ALLAH. The Muslims call the ONENESS as ALLAH, the Christians call the ONENESS as GOD/THE LORD, the Buddhists call the ONENESS as Buddha etc. All are praying to the same direction.

The divine intervention is so great that one will see the retribution when one condemns the sinless who's protected by the ONENESS. This is the reason that I do not condemn about other religion of their creator and whatnot. All that have been said was my experiences. Neither have I thought of going to Christian forum to bash them up nicely. I need not stress over it. I do not need to compare my god with your god for it is sinful to condemn and compare the GOD when there is only ONE GOD.

Which value lies in the word prophet?

I believe a prophet is a human, which is given a direction by God. The more difference this direction makes, the bigger the prophet.

I believe God uses prophets to make himself grow as a nature in us, but that we are obliged to adjust the direction according to the actual scene, for instance by listen to those who are closest to God in the present.

Assalamu Alaikum!

And sister Pauline35, whether we agree or not, One thing is common anyway. Believing that there is a Creator, He has to be the SAME who created us all. For it is not possible that different Creators created different people.

Peace
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
Qur'an 55:13

just by merely saying shahadah, no one becomes a muslim. it has to come from the bottom of the heart with full faith in Allah (alone)
