1. "Hazrat Muhammad, the inaugurator of the Islam religion, I accept him as an empowered servant of God because he preached God-consciousness in those parts of the world and induced them to accept the authority of God. He is accepted as the servant of God and we have all respect for him."? ( Letter, 2-4-1976)
2. So therefore, by that symptom, we accept Lord Jesus Christ as Saktyaves avatara, or Hazrat Muhammad, he's also. Because these two religious leaders of the world, they preached about the glorification of the Supreme Lord. And they sacrificed everything for preaching the glories of the Lord. Therefore... And their influence and their followers, there are... These are the symptoms by which we can understand that Jesus Christ and Hazrat Muhammad was, were Saktyaves avataras. ( CC Madhya-lila 20.367-84)
3. "Vedas means the books of transcendental knowledge. Not only the Bhagavad Gita, even the Bible or the Quran, they are also."? (lecture 29-7-68) 4. Srila Prabhupada:No, no. Christianity is Vaisnavism.
Dr. Patel: Vaisnavism? Absolutely Vaisnavism.
Srila Prabhupada:Islam is also Vaisnavism.
Dr. Patel: Mohammedanism is not Vaisnavism.
Srila Prabhupada:No, no. Caitanya Mahaprabhu had talked with the Pathanas.
He proved that "Your religion is Vaisnavism."? (February 17, 1974, Bombay) 5. "Chaitanya Mahaprabhu proved devotional service from the Quran.
So, it requires a devotee who can explain God from any Godly literature"? ( Morning Walk, June 6, 1974, Geneva)
6. "Then Islam is Vaishnava dharma in a crude form like christianty."?(room conversation, Tehran 14-3-75)
7. They accept God. They are also our brothers because they accept God. They are not atheist. Atheist don't accept God. "there is no God"? say the atheist.

He will actually love it but would still raise a fatwa on ISKCON's head for denigrating Islam. He would love it because he knows what Islam is and would be delighted to see kafers giving it highest respect despite all the evidence. He would raise a fatwa because he knows that such actions will make Islam stronger, particularly when kafers don't pay attention to such stuff and would still respect it as highest. Asuriks are much cleaver than weaklings.
But srila prabhupada is not alone in this. Many well known masters of the sanatana dharma have commited this blunder inspite of such clear message in our sastras against mlecchas and asuriks. Most perhaves because of lack of knowledge of the demonic cult~but some did it deliberately. We should be careful of such masters.
