Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. Islamics believe Mohammed was the prophet fortold. Of course, the Jews believe neither. This is a VERY simplistic answer but I think it does answer your question.

This is the closest explanation to the truth. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Muslim faith believe in the same God of the Bible ?

Isn't their Allah and the Christian God of the Bible one and the same ? Except of course Islam does not recognize Jesus being the Son of God. From what I understand, they recognize Jesus as being a good man and a prophet.

They did until Mohammed showed up and declared himself THE prophet. Mohammed wrote the current version of the Koran and he used to have "visions". From historical descriptions, he had epilepsy and had the "visions" during seizures.

I've never read The Koran for myself, only heard others quote it. I was told it does mention Jesus as a prophet.
