The essential concept of Chrislam is that Christianity and Islam are compatible; that one can be a Christian and a Muslim at the same time. Chrislam is not an actual religion of its own, but a blurring of the differences and distinctions between Christianity and Islam like the false prophets of ancient Israel blurred the distinction between Baal and the God of the Bible.
Advocates of Chrislam point to facts such as Jesus being mentioned 25 times in the Quran, or Christianity and Islam having similar teachings on morals and ethics, or the need for the two largest monotheistic religions to unite to fight against the rise of atheism and alternative spirituality (Peter Kreeft's, Ecumenical Jihad). Chrislam is viewed by many as the solution for the ongoing conflict between the Western world, which is predominantly Christian, and the Middle East, which is predominantly Muslim. Chrislam ultimately fails because Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on the most important issues. The Islamic Moon God, Allah, is a singular entity while the Christian God is triune (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Muslims view Jesus Christ as a prophet while Christianity says He is God, the second member of the triune Godhead. True Christianity declares Jesus to be God incarnate while Islam says that Allah is unknowable. For Christians, the deity of Christ is a non-negotiable, for without His deity, Jesus death on the cross would not have been sufficient to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2). Islam demands the death of the Infidel to atone for a Muslim's sins. Islam adamantly rejects the deity of Christ. The Quran declares the idea that Jesus is God to be blasphemy (5:17). Belief in the deity of Christ is considered shirk (filth) to Muslims. Further, Islam denies the death of Christ on the cross (4:157-158). The most crucial doctrine of the Christian faith is rejected in Islam. As a result, the two religions are absolutely incompatible, making Chrislam a concept both Christians and Muslims should reject.
Some current proponents of Chrislam are Rick Warren, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, late Robert Schuller, Glen Beck, Tony Campolo, Brian Maclaren, Joel Osteen, and Pope Francis. Chrislamic people themselves see no problem with the basic unity of the two religions, because they say that God loves all people and wants us to love all people. President Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is quoted as saying, "I made it [Chrislam] comfortable for him [Obama] to accept Christianity without having to renounce his Islamic background."
Your men are cowards who will just convert, rather than fight.
I’d have ripped that burka right off the BVM. If the way Mary is portrayed is viewed as less that chaste by some, then those people have some serious issues, most of them to do with women.

Barack Obama will soon be out of America’s White House but his spirit lives on in the hearts of Euro-weenies.
When did they move Italy out of Europe?
Someone should point out that all that blather of Chrislam comes from the First Given Half of the koran and was mainly plagiarized from the Bible and the Torah by Mohammad - this plagiarism gained him only 150 followers and he was forced to flee.
Later, the received the Second Given Half which commanded him and his disciples to kill everyone who was not them and to enslave the remainder gaining him armies. Thus began the conquest and destruction of the known world, the destruction of Classical Western civilization, Classical Christianity, and the rise of slavery as the largest business in Europe.
Before he was assassinated in somewhere on the Arabian Peninsula (not in present day Jerusalem - a tourist-generating myth from the 7th century), Mohammad was asked by his Disciples which part of the koran they should follow. He replied the Second Given Half is the last word of allah and that the First was thereby null and void, abrogated.
Chistlam is based on the First Half and is therefor anathema, a lie, taqyyia. Its followers self-deluded, ignorant dhimmis.
Interfaith with Muslims is a non sequitur. They do not play well with others.
The false prophets pushing Chrislam will not see Heaven. They forget that the Triune God demands in the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods beside Me.” And “ You shall worship the Lord, your God, and Him only shall you serve.” Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.” Allah is not mentioned in Holy Scripture.
Better to die as a confessing Christian than to live and go to Hell for denying Jesus Christ as Savior.
No surprise, since the pope said that the kooran and the Bible were the same.
Weird. I thought singing was forbidden by the Beast religion.
