Billboards have emerged across Australia carrying the slogan “Jesus: a prophet of Islam”. The Islamic group behind it, MyPeace, has done this in an attempt to encourage interfaith relations between Christians and Muslims. But not everyone is impressed with this gesture, and believes it to be more provocative and offensive than helpful.
