I think, Bgone, if your 'Devil' ever told a lie, it was saying he existed.

Hardly matters which 'side' you choose or ascribe to others, ...it's not even about 'burning bushes' or holy books or arguing about them till you bring about your own doomsday.

It's about what you hear.

Only thing worse than someone screaming 'Devil!' is two someones screaming it at each other and justifying it about who they think threw the first punch.

BGone:

No kidding? "Within the Muslim tradition, we define the virtue of leaders"?? Do you have a sure fire method for doing that? Virtue is a matter of opinion isn't it? Who's opinion? What is the source of the knowledge to create opinions concerning anything with virtue not being alone as a matter of opinion?

Is it true that Allah allows lying as long as it promotes Him and what He wants? Christians certainly accept lies that cause people to believe as moral, virtuous. Virtuousness and righteousness are twins. Throw in a few lies and add lyingness to make triplets.

We now know the creature in the famous burning bush was a Devil named Lucifer. Have you examined the facts surrounding Muhammad's deal making with a similar being under similar circumstances? Was that angel a representative of God or did IT represent the Lord of Hell, Lucifer? We know Moses sold his soul. Did Muhammad do the same thing to become a really important person? Is that virtuous?

Muhammad's body was taken to where upon his death? Isn't that where all good Muslims go? That would be virtuous ones that get their virtue from Muhammad's book wouldn't it? Warning, accepting as fact that which is not proved can be hazardous to one's eternal life, the difference is heaven and hell even.

S C Cromett:

I'd be slow to vote Wilson as virtuous. Despite his championing of self-determination for White Europeans, he was a rabid racist who practically completely drove African-Americans from the Federal government, among other things.
