Explain where in Islam Jesus Christ is called God. Then I'll believe Islam is in harmony with Christianity. But until then...

Islam accepts Jesus as the Messiah, and passes on his teachings.

Given that this teaching is the foundation of Christianity, and taught throughout the New Testament, those who claim Islam builds on the Bible have a rather high obstacle.

The core of Christianity, as I understand it is not the clothes He wore, but what he taught: The most important Commandment is really two: Love God, and Love your Neighbor.

No, it pays lip service to a form of Godliness and flat-out denies its Power.

First things first. Unless a Christian is fixed FIRST on the foundation of the divinity, the death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as God, he cannot hope to properly understand or fulfill any other commandment given by Jesus Christ.

But how do YOU respond to Christ's own claims that he was The Son of God? How do YOU view his claim that no one comes to God except through the person of Jesus Christ?

Three possibilities--

1. He's telling the truth.

2. He's deluded and talking non-sense.

3. He's deliberately lying.

He's either telling the truth, telling a lie, or He's delusional-- which is it?

I'm interested in what kind of spin you'll be able to put on this.

What does Islam teach should be done to Muslims who proclaim that Jesus Christ is God, and who confess their faith in the belief that he was put to death on the cross and was resurrected three days later?

Quit avoiding the question. hog_waller says that you are a genius on matters of religion. This question should be a chip shot for you.

Love God and Love your nieghbor. Wow, that sounds pretty east. Unfortunately there is a little more than that.

John 14
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

You know maybe I missed it, but I don't remember Mohammed teaching that the only way to God Almighty was through His Son Jesus Christ. So that makes the Bible and the koran diametrically opposed

You don't understand Christianity. Wherever your "understanding" of Christianity came from, it obviously is not from reading the Bible. So therefore what you "understand" is irrelevant. I assume you're a Muslim, and your "understanding" of Christianity comes from what Muslims teach.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Philippians, 2:6-7

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians, 2:9-11

No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
John 1:18

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!
Romans 9:5

All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Matthew 12:27

For someone who claims to be a student of the New Testament, you seem to have missed the point.

The core of Christianity is Christ's death and resurrection, and how it relates to the forgiveness of our own sins. His teachings, and miracles are there to establish his credentials as the Son of God. And although they are important, and inseperable from Christianity, they are not the core.
