Distinct Branches with Truth Claims

Different religious branches, like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have distinct beliefs and truth claims. Islam believes that Judaism and Christianity deviated from the original teachings, while Christians accept this difference without issue. In contrast, Islam faces criticism for not accepting other religions as valid today, although it allows for individual choice and coexistence. The Muslim tradition has a history of peacefully coexisting with other communities, as evidenced by historical interactions with European thinkers like John Locke.
