Yes, just ignore the context of scripture and continue along with convincing yourself that the Qu'ran is true because it says it is, and anything that upsets that belief is automatically false because the Qu'ran must be true. Circumambulation!
Even if you don't want to believe the Bible is true, you can at least vouch for what it says and not try to read your own beliefs into it. If I did that to the Qu'ran, you would not appreciate it, now would you? The context of Deuteronomy is concerning the nation of Israel. It does not relate to anyone else. To create the picture of God calling upon an outside source of guidence to His chosen people is like calling the fire department of another city to put our the fire in your city when there are ample resources for you own fire department to do the job.
kjf512 has shown you already that Israel is the only object of context. Why would you continue to press onward to make your claim, given the prooper context?
The point that if you read, you can see some of your errors in your claims concerning what is correct. It is amazes me how you and other Muslims can be so selective in how you handle the Bible. The technique of picking and choosing would not be tolerated by you if Christians or other groups scoured through the Qu'ran and countered your claims that you speak of relating the the Qu'ran. The example of the Bahai's is enough for you to understrand your dilemma. Sitting here watching you and other Muslims try to invalidate the claims of Baha'is is intersting since I see you using some of the same logic that Christians use to defend Christianity. Suddenly the illogical use of Christian approaches to rationale becomes a tool to dismiss something that rivals your own religion.
Exactly how many times will you continue to ignore your fallacious approach to the scriptures of others?
1. We are discussing the 'brethren' in Deuteronomy and I am quite satisfied with the outcome of our discussion. Muhammad (pbuh) was prophecised in Deut. and other parts of the Bible, however, this is not the thread to discuss.

2. I am not sure what Ignatius has to do with Muhammad (pbuh) being the last prophet - which, if you have forgotten, is the original post.
