Best Answer

No confrontations between Islam and Western Christianity rather than political issues. However the main differences between the two religions are:

  • Muslims believe in one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.
Christians believe in the Trinity that means God is ONE but manifests in three persons who are Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • Muslims believe that Jesus is one of the five greatest prophets and messengers. The other four are Noah, Abraham, Moses and Muhammad (Peace be upon them)
Christians believe that Jesus is son of God.
  • Muslims believe in all prophets including prophets Muhammad and Jesus.
Christians do not believe in Prophet Muhammad.
  • Muslims believe in all God holy books including Quran and The Bible, but they do not accept the authority of the Bible.
Christians do not believe in the Quran as inspired scripture.
  • Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified and just his likeness was thrown by God on another one who was crucified.
Christians believe that Jesus was crucified as described in the Bible.
  • Muslims believe that every one is responsible for his deeds (good or sinful) in front of God in the Day of Judgment and that those made net good deeds will be rewarded, by God mercy, with entering the Paradise while those who made net bad deeds, unless forgiven by God, will be punished by being pushed in Hell fire.
Christians believe that all men and women are responsible for their sins and all deserve eternal damnation. Jesus' sacrifice made it possible for some to enter heaven through Jesus love and not based on their own merit.Christians believe that Jesus is the savior
