That might be because Islam is basically a Christian heresy.

[Lera]

islam is the exact opposite of Biblical Christianity ,polar opposites share no similarities.

islams god is NOT the God of Abraham , Issac and Jacob .
The God of Abraham , Issac and Jacob does not give the command to kill Christians and Jews. islams allah has 99 names in arabic that are pretty descriptive of who their god is ... one of these names translates to “The Deceiver”
The God of Abraham , Issac and Jacob is no deceiver and does not lie , they are not the same .

islams jesus is NOT Jesus the Messiah .
They deny Jesus divinity , say he did not die on the cross and deny that he rose again . If their allah is God and they claim he is the same why do they also say that he has no son if they claim their jesus is Jesus

In islams book you can read about their jesus and he is fighting the Israel and whom they call the Dajal in a finale battle whose description is very similar to the battle in the book of Revelations. If their jesus is the same as Jesus the Messiah in the book of Revelations then why is that Jesus in Revelations comes back to SAVE Israel from the Antichrist and her enemies .

By their book islams jesus comes to fight and kill the Jews , by the Bible Jesus comes to Save the Jews from their enemies ... how can these two be the same Jesus ?

If you consider yourself a Christian and you think the moslems are right then you must not believe a word in the scriptures.... you have been deceived.

The person who wrote the original article is the one who has been mislead. What I am just pointing out is how people will try to put bad things in a good light.

“His is the only major religion that acknowledges Jesus Christ and yet also denying Him.”

Jews do the same thing as well. Islam tries to say you can have him, but not have him, Jews just say he was a man and a rabbi, but that’s all.

There are some similarities between Islam and Christianity, but the basic beliefs are very, very different.

[Twinkie]

Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Yup. . and the verse you gave, too. (John 14:6)

And then there’s that terrorism thing, too. Guess they’re trying the “lots in common” tactic today.

It’s funny how “liberal Christians” dismiss the exclusivity of Christianity. I guess it makes them feel better about themselves.

But, like I tell them every time,
you can’t name His Name and call Him a liar at the same time.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Here’s at least 5 BIG BIG BIG differences

On the level of "high concept," Judaism, Christanity and Islam all believe in a single god, who created the universe at a single moment in time, who set rules for human conduct, transmitted those rules to humanity through a written book, and will judge humans after their deaths. Other major world religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, animism, etc.), do not share most of these beliefs.

[Biggirl]

What I am pointing out is the deceptions being presented out there. The Muslim god is NOT and I REPEAT, NOT the God of the Bible.

[JSDude1]

Islam is never a thing to be put in a good light, and yes I am willing to debate theology, I am not just an Islam hater for the sake of it, or reactionary.

[STD]

Don’t forget these warnings against new prophets sporting newer testimonies. Moslems and Mohammed have plenty to answer for already. I don’t know how Mormons and JW’s get around these verses.

Rev 22:18

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

Rev 22:19

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

More taqiyya from the muslim.

No two faiths share so many fundamental beliefs as do Christianity and Islam

Yeah, like nursery school minders and pedophiles share so many fundamental beliefs about children.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Thank you both for your excellent posts. As an aside, if your not watching Glenn Beck's show, catch it later if you can, he is on fire.

If you can, watch it.

[SERKIT]

Stupidity at Biblical proportion!

Islam is not a true religion. It is a cult of murdering thugs who use mysticism to justify use of force and violation of natural rights. I does not deserve equality with other religions or freedom of religion, and has earned intolerance by all who are rational.

Well this shows when the person in question in the article compares Christianity and Islam like apples and oranges.

“Noted islamic theologian...”
Stop right there. Islam HAS NO theologians. Muslims are forbidden to study religion. Koran says to just memorize what it says, and don't think about it. A true theologian exists only in Catholicism, where the Church, on examining closely, determines a Catholic scholar of theology to be solidly true to, and advanced in, the study of theology, AND lives a faithfully Christian life in obedience to the Church without any kind of scandal. A theologian is formally designated as such by the Vatican, or is not a theologian at all. Real theologians are very rare. Even supposing that Islam had decided you could be a religious scholar, who would have the authority in their system to designate somebody a theologian? The system has no authority whatsoever. An imam is just somebody who is accepted to stand up and read their book; a lector.
Don't let the secular media get away with “Christianizing” Islam to try to make it look the same.

This is why I just cannot understand the efforts to compare, because there is not much to compare.
