Since Jesus is spoken of numerous times in the Old Testament and the Jews believe the Messiah will come (even if they don't think its Jesus, they will) Christianity is just the new Covenant that replaced the old. Its written in the prophets.

The only place Muslims are referenced is that the sons of Ishmael will be wild men and their hand will be against every man.

If Muslims believe we are all people of the book, they are not in the book. Ever notice how Christians have the Law and the Prophets in the Bible? if they were truly the 3rd installment in a trilogy they would have no problem putting the Koran in with the New and Old Testaments to be read side by side.

The fact is they were pagans whose leader stole from the books of the Bible what he could and forcibly converted many Christians by the sword. My ancestors came partly from Lebanon to escape Christian purges.

How about Revelations prophecy of a false savior who will lead the flock astray? Sounds like Islam to me. Billions have killed in the warlord’s name.

Christians know that Jesus is the son of God. Muslims know that God had no son. Poorly educated masses will swallow anything from lying muslims.

BTW, Muslims call themselves "people of the book" but that is another case of false advertising. What part of the ten commandments to they follow?

Is Allah the God of Moses? Did God spend thousands of years segregating the jews in order to bring his son into existence only to ignore him 700 years later?
