Christians believe Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and the son of God, therefore he is the center of their beliefs. Muslims believe Jesus was a great and wise prophet, but not divine and not as important as their main prophet, Muhammad. Both recognize Judaism as the root of their respective religions.
There are a few very obvious differences between Christianity and Islam. They follow different holy books and also have different names for their God.
The primary difference is the belief and respect for One God(Allah) vs. The trinity. Please see the Related Question below on the differences between Christianity in general and Islam. Most of those differences also apply to Catholicism and Islam.
Christianity and Islam share a common history and share some of the same beliefs, but they have definite differences...
To Be Honest, Dont Have A Clue. Sorry, NEED SOME DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITES BEWTEEN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY? [-Please help. :) ]
This is a tough question, because it is so non-specific. But to understand the answer to your question, you have to understand the relative positions of Islam and Christianity. Although Islam came 6-hundred years after Christianity, it is still Christianity that is the mainstream of human history.
Both Islam and Christianity originated out of Judaism.

There is no war between Christianity and Islam. Some extremists in both groups are using religion for very ungoldy purposes.
The connection between Islam, Christianity and Judaism is that the three religions trace their history to the covenant between God and Abraham.
Protestantism is part a type of Christianity, though Christianity and Islam are in some ways, similar. The main difference is about Jesus (Muslims believe is a prophet, not the Son of God, like in Christianity). Protestantism believes in simplicity and, in some ways, so does Islam. However, Muslim mosques are quite elaborate, whereas in Protestantism, they are very plain.
Christianity is older than Islam.
The question should be " What does Christianity have to do with Jews (or Judaism)?" Judaism is like a tree where Christianity is its branch and Islam is it leaves. Christianity is based on Judaism and Islam is based on Christianity. The major difference between the three is that Judaism doesn't have jesus in it unlike Christianity and Islam.
