Ideas
Hey! I am not a Muslim, but I think that this is an interesting dream due to the crown of thorns. The only place that that can really come from is from Jesus, he had a crown of thorns put on him during His execution as people mocked Him, because the Romans couldn't find anything wrong with Him, they executed him anyways to keep the Jewish leaders of that day happy. In a place where they would usually put their crime on the cross, they put a board saying his crime as being "The King of the Jews".
More of personal ideas going with my beliefs
Jesus is also known for crying a lot and looking more like a homeless person rather than the savior of the world, however, he died at 33, so it would be weird if it was supposed to be him.
There is a lot of churches stating now that Muslims around the world are turning to Jesus because "He visited them in a dream." Funny connection.
As Inceptionist said, Islam tries to correct Christianity. Mohammad, the prophet of Islam, is actually not even supposed to be God or Allah, he is in fact a human, while still believing that Jesus was sinless. I am a follower of Jesus, the sinless one.
The biggest difference between Islam and Christianity is that God is love (1 John 4:8), and that Islam doesn't call Allah loving, but that he loves specific people (those who do good). So while Allah and God may share the same name in different languages, God's attribute of being Love and loving men even while they are still sinners, makes him a lot different than Allah.
I am not here to debate Christianity and Islam, just point out some interesting things that might effect the interpretation of your dream. As Inceptionist said, the majority of Muslims are not violent or terrorists, but people searching for the truth, especially Muslims in the United States (Where I live) that I have met and hung out with. There are radicals in most all religions. In Christianity we preach peace and love, but there are many times in the past that people in the name of Jesus have done evil, just like people, in the name of Islam (Which is actually derived from the word peace in Arabic), do evil.
Welcome to DV! I hope you check out the rest of the forum, we are all about learning to realize inside of dreams that we are dreaming (lucid dreaming) and we are a pretty open and inviting community from many places and backgrounds.
@Inceptionist, please correct anything I said about Islam as well. A lot of what I hear about it comes from the bias of Christians, since I am a Christian and I learned about most religions from a Christian worldview. I try to insert myself into other people's view so that I can understand why someone would follow a certain path, because it is always interesting to me learning about new and interesting views.
