I suspect that the key ingredient that makes Christianity different is the central tenet that each person must come to personal faith in Jesus Christ.
mohammed accepted forced conversions.
Jesus asks for the heart of the believer.
That is totally inconsistent with the use of force in conversion.
Counterfeit “religion” keeps going through my mind. One offers (glories in) life, one offers (glories in) death - “Choose ye this day,” is what I would say.
I think Christianity had a head start on the upstart “counterfeit” by about 6-700 years. They both have a “prophet;” they both have a holy book “divinely” inspired, etc. We know who energizes “Christianity,” but just who energizes Islam? As the Church Lady would ask, “Mmmmm, could it be - SATAN?”
Mo-ham-head not only accepted forced conversions, he forced conversions. I still don’t like the only three choices offered by Islam (the imperitive form of the verb which is “submit”): 1.) Convert to Islam; 2.) Remain a second class citizen paying protection money to Islam; 3.) Die. What kind of a “religion” is that? Islam wants to subject the whole world to its “way.” I think Satan also wanted the whole world to be subject to his “way.” I suspect you know that there is only one “way,” and His name is Jesus the Christ, the “Way” and the truth.
Aye, there’s another rub (distinction). Jesus is the way and the truth. He hates liars. Liars will have no place in His kingdom. Islam promotes lying and swearing falsely in order to further its aims (Al Taqqiya). Sheesh. Enough of their crap already!
