ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY
"Christianity and Islam share much common ground. Both trace
their roots to Abraham. Both believe in prophecy, God's messengers
(apostles), revelation, scripture, the resurrection of dead, and
the centrality of religious community. This last element is
especially important. Both Christianity and Islam have a
communitarian dimension: what the church is to Christianity the
"umma" is to Islam.
Despite these significant similarities, however, these two
world religions have a number of significant differences as well.
I would like to comment on these -- not to engage in any kind of
polemic (since I consider polemic a sign of religious immaturity)
but to foster better understanding. A true dialogue between
religions can be built only on nuanced understanding and not
caricature." I'll make some clarifications: Christian people believes on God while Muslims believes on Allah. They have really obvious differences.

The Spanish authorities considered Rizal as the 'soul of the Philippine Revolution' because of his influential writings that sparked nationalist sentiments among Filipinos. His novels, particularly Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, criticized the abuses of Spanish colonial rule, inspiring many Filipinos to fight for independence. Rizal's martyrdom further solidified his role as a symbol of resistance against Spanish oppression.
