[quote][quote]>>I think, a belief based on "miracles" would be a very weak belief.

What of Virgin Mary appearing? Does it not already buttress what Catholics believe. Is this another test by the Almighty? Is He leading them astray?[/quote]

It is a test, yes. But don't you think a Christian's belief would be more sound if he/she were to believe in what was preached by Eesa, alahissalaam, rather than bank their faiths on "Virgin Mary". I wrote earlier that miracles gave the prophets, absolute leeway over their most stringent opponents; I should also have mentioned, that as for those who "already" believed, this served to garnish their faiths.

Don't think that God only tests the followers of Eesa, alahissalaam, through this amazing miracle. If you see an illiterate/uneducated man (read, "unlettered), walking out from the jungles of Swat(read, "isolation"), giving to you something greater than Iqbal has ever been able to offer, would that not be a test for you? It would. The miracle of Prophet Muhammad, sws, was the Qur'an.

I hope you see my line of argument.
