This is like saying that Windows and GNU/Linux are closely related because they both run on PCs, and were both (Windows originally) written in C (thus worship the same "foundations"). :-)
> Christians use Jewish scriptures and prayers and symbolism.
Quite some applications have become ported from Windows to GNU/Linux or vice versa. There is also Wine. Also keep in mind that there exist people who use gcc to compile Windows applications.

You should read what the Quran says about Jesus or Mary or the Jewish prophets. Seriously, read what the Quran and the New Testament (and church documents like the Catholic Catechism) have to say about this. I think the best analogies of the relationships between the religions is: 1. Christianity (claims) to be an updated and enhanced fork of Judaism 2. Islam (claims) to be a bug fixed fork of Judaism with some code from Christianity merged in. > Quite some applications have become ported from Windows to GNU/Linux or vice versa. We are not talking about optional bits, we are talking about things of fundamental importance.
- anthk 1y agoMore like GNU/Linux and Android. Also Windows is C++, NT kernel.
- aleph_minus_one 1y agoHistorically, the NT kernel was written in C. That C++ is also allowed in the NT kernel is a rather recent change.
