knorg---Oh snap, that's excellent! And the story's date of July 31 does roughly correspond to a sudden influx of e-mails I got about this story (good and bad), so maybe that explains it!
Thanks for pointing this out to me!

TicTac---I don't know why anyone could not like the message of this story. It's clear that both Jesus and Muhammad are loving and compassionate partners and people...anyone with a problem with their actions would be judging morality with no basis in practicality, which is something rather...well, stupid, heh.
Glad you enjoyed!

Nice! Grinning fron ear to ear thanks to you and your story... holy erection... that was hillarious! On the other hand I did get the 'serious' message about love and compassion... what can I say? Those aren't things I do well no matter in what context, but well done you!

Glad you enjoyed. I've actually begun planning the sequel, and it'll be chock full of more Jesus-Muhammad goodness. :-D

Wow...absolutely powerful. I usually don't read slash based on the Bible but I decided to browse this section of AFF out of curiousity and read some reviews to see what people would say. I want to say, I was deeply touched and moved spiritually by what has been said here in the reviews, that the purpose of creation is love. I never thought much of Jesus and Mohammad as a couple, much less liked Western religion. I've seen a lot of Western religion as promoting war, especially with the recent Christianity/Muslim conflict. If God is Unconditional Love, Love without conditions, accepting of all that exists, then why would fundamentalists claim that God descriminates based on artifical human labels like "homosexuality?"

Nettle4Brush---Glad you like it. There will eventually be a sequel to this story, too, heh.
Yamiyugikun---I'm really surprised at the lack of negative reviews for this story...there was a time when I got a lot of e-mails about it (apparently it was part of a Myspace bulletin going around), but that seems to have settled.
A lot of people would be offended by this, but they shouldn't. After all, we really don't know anything about the true historical events of Jesus and Muhammad. Historical records are spotty and often exaggerated, and as for the spiritual records of the Bible and Qur'an...I consider them to be little more than (ironically) fanfiction of the two men.
I am not a religious man by any means...but if Jesus and Muhammad were more than mere philosophers...if they really were the son of God and his prophet...they I'd like to believe that they're more mature than the petty, selfish hatred of man. I don't think gods would lay down a million rules, ranging from how to eat all the way to how to kill. Humans are the ones who feel the need to create overly complex law systems filled with their own prejudices and biases. Gods would make a simple but undeniable command, such as 'love everyone'.
Despite being an Atheist, I choose to hope for a divine force of goodness rather than hatred, not the zealous monsters that man has created.

I like this piece. It's very well done and made. It's actually quite interesting and ironic in a way. Looking forward to another story by you in this section. <3

I rarely write reviews on stories...or being more accurate this is my very first review=) But I couldn't help writing it due to several reasons.
First of all I want to thank you for the story! Your work definitely worth reading. I haven't had a chance to check any of your other works yet, but I'm certainly will, cause I really like your style of writing.
Then I want to simply say that I agree with the idea that God's purpose of creation has to be lying within LOVE. I've read all the review before writing my own and I see that most of the people here think the same way. But it's so sad that this amount is like 1 to thousands of others who don't. The city I live in is somehow similar to the one you live in (and of course I'm judging on that from your description=)). And I honestly don't think that people here would change even if they heard God telling them they're doing wrong.
But may be someone will read your text and at least think it over.
So..thank you again and take care!
p.s. and I'm sorry for the long review.
