There's a new religious billboard campaign underway here in Sydney. From the Sydney Morning Herald:

CHRISTIANS in Sydney will have their core beliefs challenged by provocative advertisements due to appear on billboards and buses in the next month.

The ads, paid for by an Islamic group called MyPeace, will carry slogans such as ''Jesus: a prophet of Islam'', ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' and ''Muhammad: mercy to mankind''.

There were the usual responses (here and here)- good ones, and the other usual suspects. David Ould (Assistant Minister at Neutral Bay) in his blog provides a good summary of the issues and responses if you want to read more.
 
How do you respond to these ads? What about your friends? The campaign has been reported as a challenge to the Christians. But instead, it can be a challenge to all of us. Ask your friends what they think of it. Ask them if they know who Jesus is. Ask them if they've checked out the evidence themselves.
