I have heard other Muslims on TV say that they accept the OT, that Allah and YHWH are the same God, etc. I think this may be for public consumption though.
I know, and you are right.
Islam is really a "peaceful religion" whenever discussed on CNN and other MSM vehicles.
However, it is a little known fact that most Muslims reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah, and they will arrest or kill Christians for believing in Him.
Malaysia:
"On April 25, 2005, two foreign Christian missionaries were arrested after distributing religious materials in front of a mosque in Putrajaya and were charged with "disturbing the peace in a religious manner."

Nigeria:
"Witnesses said most of the dead were from Maiduguri's minority Christians."

Turkey:
With the battle cry “we will kill you (Christians) all” a group of (Islamic) youths launched themselves in attack on a Franciscan friar in Izmir (the ancient Smyrna). The attack took place within the confines of St. Helen’s parish.
Msgr Luigi Padovese, Apostolic Vicar of Anatolia, says “The boys grabbed him by the throat shouting “we will kill you all.”
