1. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is the promised Messiah and the son of God. (Luke 1:30) Muslims believe that Jesus was a great prophet (although not the greatest prophet) and that it is impossible for God to have sons.
2. Muslims believe the "Helper" or "comforter" mentioned at John 14:16, where Jesus promises that a helper would be sent after he goes away, is Mohammed. Jehovah's Witnesses believe it is the Holy Spirit, which was poured out on 120 of Jesus' disciples at Pentecost of the year 33 CE. (Acts 2:1 - 4)
3. Jehovah's Witnesses believe servants of God should be non-violent and politically neutral. (Matthew 26:52, John 18:36, 2 Timothy 2:23) Throughout its history Islam has used politics and warfare to attempt to promote it's expansion (as have most professed "christian" religions).
It should be noted that these differences as well as Jehovah's Witnesses' obedience to Jesus' commands to preach and make disciples (Matthew 24:14, 28:19, 20) have caused Jehovah's Witnesses to be bitterly persecuted in many Islamic countries.

Are jehovas witnesses christian?
Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim that they are Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses are "followers of Christ", implying that even if they don't claim to be Christians (which they/we do), they would be anyway. Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim to be Christian. They accept Jesus as the son of God, being of divine nature. They believe he had a prehuman existence and came to earth to die for mankind's sins. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there can be no salvation without accepting Jesus sacrifice and honour Jesus as their King and Leader. Since to be a 'christian' means to follow Jesus' example and obey him, they preach the bible in imitation of their leader Jesus, and try to be like him in word and deed. So, yes, Jehovah's Witnesses feel they have the right to be called Christian. Any 'confusion' that has arisen in this regard may be from the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus to be God's Son and not Almighty God himself. They reject the teaching of the trinity as unscriptural. == ==
