Very simple - read Old/New Testament and read Koran. Then you will know.

How so? The Muslims say they worship the one true God and so do Christians. How many one true gods could there possibly be? Seriously, it is hard to divine a difference.

Please, read the Koran. I did. It's tough, a real bore, but the more you read, the worse it gets.

Notice the difference between the attitudes of the early writings, when Mohammed was young and had only one wife (she was rich and he was dependent on her). He was the peaceful Mohammed, the "Mecca" Mohammed.

As soon as he was a rich widower, a man with an army, he started killing. The "Medina" Mohammed. I wonder if all those wives made him really cranky.

And it is also a tenent of Islam that the later scriptures are more valid than the earlier ones.

"I see people who talk about religion constantly quarrelling with one another. Hindus, Mussalmans, Brahmos, Shaktas, Vaishnavas, Shaivas, all quarrel with one another. They haven't the intelligence to understand that He who is called Krishna is also Shiva and the Primal Shakti, and that it is He, again, who is called Jesus and Allah…. Truth is one; only It is called by different names. All people are seeking the same Truth; the variance is due to climate, temperament, and name." -- Sri Ramakrishna

The Muslims say they worship the one true God and so do Christians.

From the fact that different people make similar claims it does not follow that they are both right. READ the New/Old Testament and Koran, then draw you conclusions. Hearing the claims is not enough.
