This is a question. If a Catholic or North African Christian acknowledges that Muhammed was a messenger who shared with many the story, message and teaching of Abraham, Jacob, Moses and Isaac and also Yeshua Ben Joseph (Jesus), does that make the Catholic a Muslim? What if the Catholic or Christian acknowledges that Moses spoke the language of the Egyptians that we understand is Arabic? Moses spoke Arabic and it is therefore the language of the Jewish Law giver. He obtained the laws as a received culture while living in and working in Egypt and was also subject to conviction under those laws after an impasse with an Egyptian although he may have been wrongly accused. In fleeing this risk of conviction, he barely left Egypt and was only about half a day's walk away in the desert. He did not get to Babylon to take on some other language. He was still in the greater Egyptian area. Eventually, he took the people of Israel with him to make a home in a town that already existed called Jerusalem and its neighboring town called Bethlehem and taught them on the way the laws of Egypt as God led him and inspired him; the same laws he had learned. We also see that the first oral or written agreement in the bible involving land was between Abraham and Lot. But, it is when Nehemiah and the remnant come to Israel from Babylon to rebuild the walls of Israel after many years of internment and learning in Babylon that the language of Israel becomes Babylonian Hebrew. Before that, it was the language of Israel is language of the Egyptians. Then, we have an Assyrian occupation before and during the Roman era and we see that the language of Israel depends on who is calling you in that part of the city or that town to answer the time for dinner or prayers. But, everyone is family. Everyone must have their benefit payment and everyone must get along on the subway or the tram or on the passenger jet where they serve a special date or fig desert. That is it.
