If Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary one thing and then goes and tells The Prophet something else, what would ever lead a Christian or Muslim to believe Jibril is not more interested in starting wars rather than solving them?

 In both Christian and Islamic traditions, the figure commonly identified as the angel Gabriel (Jibril in Islam) is regarded as a messenger of God who conveys divine messages to chosen individuals, including the Virgin Mary and the Prophet Muhammad. The messages are considered to be in alignment with the divine will and purpose, and they are intended to guide and instruct rather than provoke conflict.

It's important to understand that interpretations of religious texts can vary among individuals and within religious communities. The narratives involving Gabriel's messages to Mary and the Prophet Muhammad are generally seen as part of the larger divine plan, emphasizing themes such as guidance, prophecy, and the fulfillment of God's will.

In Christianity, Gabriel is often associated with the announcement of the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary, a message of great significance and hope for Christians. In Islam, Jibril is seen as the angel who revealed the Quran to Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years, providing guidance to Muslims.

While certain historical events or battles are mentioned in religious texts, they are typically understood within the context of specific circumstances and are not seen as promoting a general inclination toward war. Interpretations of religious teachings can vary, and some individuals or groups may focus on different aspects of their religious texts to support their views.

It's important to approach discussions about religious figures and their messages with sensitivity and respect for diverse beliefs and interpretations. People within both the Christian and Islamic traditions generally understand these angelic messages as expressions of divine wisdom and guidance rather than a promotion of conflict.
