The Gods of Political Correctness dictate that all religions are of equal worth; that there are “…three great Abrahamic religions,” and “The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.” All three of these sacred cow clichés need to be slaughtered on the altar of truth.
While Christianity and Islam are both offshoots of the Jews and took from them the concept of having one’s own holy writ, their self-definitions as new faith communities were radically different. The Koine Greek language narratives that Christians append to their version of the Hebrew Bible purport to be a continuation of Jewish history. The Catholic Church even defines itself in Latin as Verus Israel , the True Israel.
But Muslims do not claim this. On the contrary, the Koran plagiarized many of the stories in the Hebrew Bible but always with changes, and when a Muslim is asked to explain the different versions of the same stories, he will say the Jews stole them from Islam.
When asked to explain how this theft happened since the former text came into the world in the year 1313 BCE at Mt. Sinai and the latter over 2,000 years later, in the late 7th and early 8th centuries, the Muslims say that Musa (the Arabic mispronunciation of the Hebrew name Mosheh ) brought the Koran down from Mt. Sinai—not the Torah as the Jews believe. And then, down below, the evil Jews snatched it away from Musa and re-wrote it and called it their Torah. When Muhammad came along, he restored the original text, today’s Koran.

In Islam’s universe, the Jews’ Torah is a stolen, plagiarized version of Muslim scripture—which resonates with the contemporary charge that the Jews also allegedly stole Filistin (i.e., Palestine) from the indigenous, putatively primeval Palestinian people.
As for the cliché that Islam is an Abrahamic religion, this is a head-on collision with the Biblical text. The greatest authority on what is Abrahamic was Abraham himself, who accepted that he had to expel his first-born son Ishmael from his family, community, and country because he was not at all “Abrahamic,” like his father.
To Jews, Abraham was the kindest man in the world, which is probably why God chose him. For the religious revolution that Abraham ignited (ethical monotheism) was not only the concept of one God but a kind God—versus the capricious, cruel, and often immoral gods in pagan pantheons.
That is a stupid point to argue. What you should be talking about is that Judaism and Christianity are religions where people have a relationship with God. The OT is full of stories where even Abraham and Moses argued and negotiated with God. The NT is all about the intimate relationship of living with God in you.
Islam is about Submission to an Unknowable God.
Hmmm. Well its true to say that Christianity might be an offshoot of Second Temple Judaism, so is the modern Rabbinic Judaism of today. Neither are the kind of Judaism of Jesus's day when the rituals outlined in the Torah were carried out in the Temple.
The New Testament is every bit as Jewish as that Talmud--and it was written earlier.
Yet the Dead Sea scrolls dare 900 years before any historical mention of the Koran.
Yep. Christianity was the natural conclusion of what Judaism was always working to. Like the caterpillar to the butterfly.
Only Christianity is true. Everything else is a false religion.
Jesus told the parable of The Wineskins and the Patched Coat to explain it all..............
Oh, I think we all know who the god of Islam is.

I believe that the False Prophet will be a world 🌎🌍 “religious” leader who will appear to be “christian” (small “C” on purpose)
They may accept one or the other as “Mahdi”
Time will tell.
They believe he is down deep in a well behind the Jamkaran Mosque in the city of Qom, Iran.

Stop with this idiocy. Drain the Swamp is ALL IMPORTANT.
BTTT
You don’t need to be religious to see a telling difference between Christianity and Islam, a difference that cannot hide the negatives of Islam even today.
The prime figure in Christianity is Yeshua (Jesus) Christ, the Messiah, who in his sojourn on earth refused to allow his followers to take up the sword in his name, not even to defend him.
The prime firgue in Islam is a man who went to war against any and all in Arabia who would not go along with him, and who sanctioned such war against all non-Muslims; a call which his followers immediately took up, all across the Middle East, and beyond.
Even if one is not religious, there is no moral or ethical grounds to follow the latter example, or his cause.
