nobody knows his name i don t mean to sound disrespectful but since the majority of the contributors and may be even readers of this newsgroup seem to be muslims christians and jews my question could be of some interest to any of them it s my impression that both islam and christianity pay great respect to an obscure st century jewish lad from judea galilee why they chose this particular jew among all possible jews is a mystery to me personally i prefer woody allen his stories are much juicier but perhaps it s an accident of history anyway it seems that they may be talking about two different jews according to the new testament his father s name was joseph while in qur an he appears as zachariah who s right and why the name difference i m really curious david
