ok, so I've been reading the Quran, there is some good in and some things, that I agree with only within a certain context. The things I agree with only within a certain context, would be related to how certain verses are to be understood, in other words, i wouldn't agree with the Sunni Muslim understanding of the verse. For example, Muhammad being the last prophet. Being a Buddhist, we don't have prophets as such. I guess Muhammad is the last prophet of the Abrahamic religions. We have spiritual masters, lamas, who write our scriptures, and our linage of spiritual masters have not ended, thus scriptures can still be written. The Quran seems to a revelation sent to the Abrahamic religions, and not really the world. He has alot of Abrahamic belief overtones, that I just don't agree. One I believe in reincarnation. While Islam believe that every dead person will be resurrected, and judged. It can be true from the context of reincarnation, but I don't think it is true in the literal sense.

Like Muhammad is the last prophet in the abrahamic faith, I can agree with that, but, his demise isn't the end of scripture, or people with direct contact with the spiritual world as such (ie God etc.)
To continue the discussion, now that you have come to the conclusion that there is some truth in Islam while there is some truth in Budhism what is your decision about yourself? Will you stay put or come to Islam or design a new amalgamation? You might have got my inclination that I'd like you to come to Islam.
