[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 8010446, member: 76965"]I agree with a lot of what you've said. There is much that is unknown about religions and much that has been left to us humans to interpret.....I say try being good human being before being a good Muslim, Christian or Jew etc. We all go to the same end using different paths. Unfortunately, today we talk about differences but seldom talk about the similarities. In my list of 10 coins purchased during 2020, I had my Arab Byzantine fals as number 1, in spite of it being the cheapest because it imitated the Byzantine currency, it's much more established, accepted and respected 'cousin'. I had been looking for an early Islamic coin and was lucky enough to acquire this one. The similarity is startling with the cross clearly visible between all three figures. The differences we see today arose much later and were IMHO purely political in nature.
