“Hello, my name is Steve Wyse. A group of northerners came over the hill and when I saw the whites of their eyes, I shot and shot and shot again. I killed 40 Northerners before they touched my thigh. I fought in the civil war and I am a rebel. “Hello, my name is Alicia Dike. I am a dietitian in the UK. Due to the growing obesity problem, I drink a lot of water and only eat vegetables and nuts. Some people call me a monster. I don't agree. I am a rebel. Now, reader, are you a rebel? As you can see, the definition of rebel varies from person to person and from culture to culture. Some think a rebel is bad, others think he is good. Definitions are tricky things. People often disagree on who is a rebel, but most agree that a rebel is simply someone who stands up for their beliefs, despite the challenges they face. Jesus and Muhammad were rebels; they believed what they wanted to believe, against all odds. Jesus even died for his beliefs. Muhammad and Jesus started rebellions that indefinitely ignited two major religions, Islam and Christianity. The rebellion of Jesus and that of Muhammad are more similar than different. Generally speaking, the rebellion of Muhammad and that of Jesus are the same, the conditions that caused them are dissatisfaction and the desire for change, their rebellions both triggered the formation of two major religions and their ideas were not accepted in their communities. But, in a more specific sense, they were different; Muhammad's rebellion was not only religious but also martial. DISSATISFACTION OF MAHAMMAD: Muhammad was not satisfied with religions as they were. If he were not, he would have no reason to found a monotheistic faith within a Mecca centered on polytheism. To add to that, he would not have returned to Mecca in the middle of a paper......during Jesus bowing to the authority of the Roman Empire. Jesus accepted the death penalty, despite the challenges it presented. It was a challenge, because no human wants to die, our body resists it with all its strength. Jesus was a rebel. Mohammed was a rebel. They both stood up for their beliefs, despite the circumstances. The rebellions of Jesus and Muhammad were different in that Muhammad used force. Their roots were similar; they were both dissatisfied with Judaism and polytheism, their teachings were frowned upon by some people, and their rebellions were catalysts for the world's largest religions. Muhammad and Jesus' strong desire for change was the spark for their religious explosion. Their presence is still felt today, according to their words, through the teachings presented to each generation of children, as well as in churches and mosques around the world..
