I'm exactly taking the "Christian slant". I quoted several passages from the Bible which CLEARLY mention prophets after Jesus. J > Christianity does allow so called 'prophets' after Jesus, G: Then we agree. That's all I'm saying. Islam clearly says that prophethood ended with Muhammad. Christianity clearly teach that prophets will come after Jesus. You can say other things to try to blur that distinction or narrow it. But the difference is there. G: When Christians object to Muhammad, they generally don't just say "but prophets can't come after Jesus" (Because the Bible won't let them say that). Even when Christians object to groups like the Mormons, a more typical objection is to accuse them of polytheism or to be weirded out by the polygamy. When Muslims object to groups like the Bahais, Ahmadiya, etc. they generally *do* just say "but prophets can't come after Muhammad".
