Islam claims that Jesus and Moses are prophets, and yet they do not believe what Jesus or Moses taught, so what good is a prophet when you can not believe what they say?

It's beginning to appear that Islam is based on the physical world. By killing a non-believer, you gain physical rewards. Does this not sound like something Satan would encourage? Doesn't the Bible say that Satan will control the Temple Mount? Does not Islam control the Temple Mount? Isn't it true that the seed of God (Jesus) is the enemy of Satan? It has been stated here that it is a sin in Islam to claim that Allah has a son.

It's worse than that. they distort who Jesus was and make claims directly contrary to Christian faith.
Fables from the apocryphal 'gospel of Thomas' ended up in the Quran, but the true story of Jesus is not conveyed . not his ministry, his preachings, his healings, or his passion and death.
It's like making a saint out of Martin Luther King Jr, and then somehow mistaking him for Marthin Luther and getting the story crossed.
What Mohammed did was he took 3rd hand stories and wove them into his religion. Kind of the way a political candidate borrows ideas from other people. After winning power only then do you know notice the story is not consistent... Mohammed himself went from tolerating other religions to persecuting them depending on what was best for his power.
The end result is a theological mess, and a host of statements and beliefs that defy logic and historical fact.
