Peace upon you too Grace.  
  
John 8:44 does NOT ask Christians to murder jews, but throughout history its been used to do that, repeatedly, extensively. Even recently. So much so that the Pope had to issue a [clarification](https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2024-12/john-8-44-frequently-misunderstood-verse-pope-francis.html).  
  
Im sure you would agree that God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost and the Bible are not responsible for humans taking words out of context, or twisting them to their own advantage, or misusing Scripture for their own agenda.   
  
 It's not logical to judge God or Christianity by the actions of some people, just because they call themselves "Christians" or cite biblical text. Nazis, European Colonisers, KKK and the Crusaders would be just a few examples. All used, no, misused the Bible, but all of them were pushing a personal agendas.   
  
I'll just repeat that there's no death penalty for blasphemy in the Quran. That's a confirmed fact, and it's easily proven.  
  
If some idiots calling themselves muslism, or scholars misuse the Quran for their personal agenda... that's their personal evil on display.  
  
As far as the Quran is concerned, it's very clear... God will punish or forgive whoever he wants. There's no humanly punishment imposed, or even suggested for blasphemy. If anyone does so, it is not Islamic, no matter what the paid "scholars" say. We can read, we dont need them to tell us to believe the opposite of whats in text so they can divide us.   
  
🙏  
  
As for your other point about Christians finding it blasphemous to consider Jesus a prophet and Muslims finding it blasphemous to call him a God... yes, you're right.  
  
But lets put it in perspective a little. Jews, Hindus, Atheists, Buddhists, Agnostics etc give him Zero respect. At least muslims respect him and pray for him and bless him. The more devout the muslim the more he sends blessings and prayers for Jesus; I do it 5 times a day, every single day. Do you know many Christians who send blessings upon Jesus 5 times every single day day? At least Muslims add a 'peace upon him' every time we mention his name, something that even Christians dont even do.   
  
Muslims might not pray to Jesus, but we do pray for him and love and respect him  Can we maybe get a few points for that? 😊
