Muslem, Christian
Whafs Up
discuss importance
of Jesus in faiths
By Richard Tijerina
Staff Writer
The importance of Jesus Christ in both
the Moslem and Christian religions was
the topic of a lecture given by the Mus
lim Students Association on Friday. Dr.
Jamal Badawi, founder of the Islamic In
formation Foundation, said he hopes dif
ferences in the two faiths can someday
be worked out.
Speeches were given by Badawi and
Ray Muenick, head staff of the Great
Commission Students of Texas A&M.
Both presented the positions of their re
spective religions on the importance of
Christ.
The Christian faith regards Christ as
the Messiah, the son of God and savior
of the Jews. The Moslem faith believes
Christ was only one of five prophets.
Both cited examples from their faith’s
holy books, the Bible and the Koran, to
support their positions.
Muenick said the greatest point of de
bate was whether or not Christ was the
son of God and the solution to all the
world’s problems, including sin and law
lessness.
“The solution to all these problems is
Jesus Christ,” Muenick said. “He is our
salvation because of two things — who
he is and what he did. He claimed to be
something very special, the word of
CMd.”
Muenick said Christ proved his divin
ity by performing miracles, and that he
was able to perform these miracles be
cause he led a sinless life.
“He was sinless,” he said. “None of us
could raise our hands right now and say
we have never sinned in our lives, never
gone against the word of God, but Jesus
could. He led a sinless life.”
Badawi refuted the Christian belief
that Christ is the savior. He said Christ is
the common link between Moslems and
Christians, but noted differences in the
way both view him.
“The Koran not only negates the
mainstream of what Christianity believes
about Jesus, it presents a more favorable
profile of him than the Bible,” Badawi
said. “Is there any way to bridge the Bi
ble? The ideas of sin and atonement is
not exclu ively Christian. It is present in
all religions.”
Bada i said all of the miracles Christ
was said to have performed do not nec
essarily prove he was the son of God.
According to the Koran, he said, every
time Christ performed a miracle he said.
“By the permission of Allah.” Badawi
also said Christ was not the only prophet
to heal lepers and the blind, to be resur
rected and to ascend to the heavens.
Muenick said a person must have a po
sition of true faith to go to Heaven.
“It takes a certain response to get to
Heaven,” he said. “We have to believe,
by changing our minds about who and
what Christ was. He was not just a
prophet, but God himself in the form and
flesh of man. We must have faith. Faith
is not just knowing the facts, it is choos
ing Jesus Christ alone as the object of our
salvation.”
Badawi said even though there are
fundamental differences in the two
faiths, more should be done to bring
them closer together.
“We need to come to the realization
that we must respect all people’s views
on Jesus, and who and what he was,"
Badawi said. “When we do that, perhaps
we can come to some kind of greater
knowledge and realize all people make
their own dissertations. When we do
this, perhaps we can help bridge the gap
that is present.”

Children enchanted with ballet
held by dance company at A&
Ga:
Diet C
By Staci Finch
Staff Writer
Ballet has grown to be one of the most
popular art forms in America. Poems,
stories and myths take on a special magic
when presented in the form of dance.
The Lynda Martha Dance Company
brought such magic to Rudder Theater
Sunday afternoon with it’s performance
of the Grimm’s fairy tale, “The Little
Tailor.”
The company enthralled the audience,
which consisted mostly of children, as
they told the story of a little tailor, who
kills seven flies with one blow of his
mighty hand.
To celebrate his accomplishment, he
sews himself a golden belt, and sets off
into the world filled with joy and hope
for more adventure.
He comes upon a royal garden, where
he falls asleep. He is awakened by the
royal family, who thinks he is a great
warrior. They convince him to help rid
the kingdom of its dangers: a dragon,
two giants and a unicorn. If the tailor can
do this, the king promises, he will have
half the kingdom and the hand of the
princess.
The tailor sets off, and by using his in
genuity and cleverness, defeats all the
dangers. He wins the hand of the prin
cess and half the kingdom, and all live
happily ever after.
The children’s story was profession
ally performed by the dance company.
Perhaps the best moment in the show, as
far as the children in the audience were
concerned, was when the dragon lept off
the stage into the theater and roared as he
ran up and down the aisles. Most of the
children screamed, either with laughter
or fear, and quite a few cried.
Katharine Sanders was excellent as the
Little Tailor. Combining graceful ballet
moves with slapstick motions and ex
pressions, she kept the children and the
rest of the audience entertained as the
little tailor faced one danger after an
other.
In addition to the dragon, the giants
and the unicorn were amusing as the
®ars.

AUSTIN (AP) — Sen. Lloyd
