No, I don't think he is. He has a lot of relegious inferences in the book. Athiests do not believe in any higher power, and do not like to even encourage anyone to believe in any god. Rather, they do the opposite, and occasionally encourage people to follow their beliefs.

But one could argue that he is not encouraging religion in his books. Sure, he makes references to gods and religions, but he does not ever actually encourage people to be religious people. In fact, it could be said that he decourages it, but I think I will let his readers decide for themselves.

1. Islam is God religion per Quran revelation to Prophet Muhammad. Christianity is God's religion according to the revelations throughout the Bible.
2. Muslims believe that Jesus is one of the greatest God prophets and messengers. Some Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God; some others believe that Jesus is himself divine. Some other Christians believe he is human and neither God nor son of God.
3. Muslims believe in all prophets including prophet Muhammad and Jesus. Christians do not believe in the Prophet Muhammad.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Muslims believe that every one is responsible for his deeds (good or sinful) in front of God in the Day of Judgement 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 God's mercy, and not based on their own merit.

   Hint: the above shows that both religions are different only in some faith issues that are regarding the relationship between yourself and your God which is a matter to be resolved by God on the Day of Judgement. However, both religions are quite similar in all issues regarding relationships among all people. In reality, there are no differences between the two religions regarding the way that people of different religions should treat each other. This, logically and spiritually, calls all people to live together in love, peace, and harmony regardless their different religions or beliefs.

1. Both are widely believed religions.
2. Both believe in God's angels.
3. Both believe in the last Day of Judgment.
4. Both believe in Paradise/Heaven and Hell.
5. Both believe that no one enters Paradise/Heaven by own deeds/merit but rather by God Mercy and forgiveness.
6. Both believe in eternal life after earthly death.
7. Both forbid adultery, robbery, unjustified killing, cheating and lying.
8. Both religions are similar in practicing mutual respect to their believers. Quran says (meaning English translation): ".... You will find the nearest in love to Muslims those who say 'we are Christians'. That is because amongst them are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world and they are not arrogant. And when they listen to the Quran revelation received by the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of the truth they have recognized. ... So because of what they said, Allah (God) rewarded them ...." [Quran, chapter 5, verses 82-86]

"(Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is." (Qur'an, 3:45-47)"

Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said: The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being. (Qur'an, 3:59)

During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses...." (Qur'an, 3:49)

Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus' enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man. Jesus' enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said:

...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Qur'an, 4:157)Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it. The mainstream Islamic view of the second coming maintains Jesus did not die (see Islamic view of Jesus' death) and was lifted up to Heaven by God, where he is waiting to descend during the "last days" when corruption and perversity are rife on Earth. Jesus will return to wage a battle against and defeat the false Messiah (Dajjal, or Anti-Christ) and call all humanity to Islam, as originally called upon by all the prophets including himself. Jesus shall be accompanied by an army of the righteous, and shall be fighting against darkness, uniting his army with the army of Mahdi in the last war of human history. The Dajjal will wage war with his army of corrupt followers and mischief-makers and those that have fallen under his deception.

God is all powerful. He created the day and the night, the sun and the moon, the stars in the sky, the oceans and the land, the heavens, and all creatures in this world; those we know of and those we do not know of. He created the seen and the unseen. He knows that which has passed and that which has yet to pass. He created mankind.

Muslims believe that God is one and that Jesus was a Prophet of God. Muslims love Jesus and believe in the second coming. Islam was revealed to the people in Arabic - because that was the language of the people to whom it was revealed. Muslims believe that Mohammed, peace be upon him, was also a Prophet of God, and the last of God's Prophets. Islam reinforced the original messages of the Torah and the Gospel, as revealed by God, but which had been altered by man's innovations over time.

Allah is the Arabic word for God. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets of God, including Jesus, Moses, Aaron, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Solomon. Muslims believe that Prophet Mohammed brought the final message to mankind to worship one God only, to love one another, to invite good and forbid evil.

The main difference between Islam and Christianity is the belief about Jesus.

{| | Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind. The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Quran is entitled 'Maryam' (Mary). The Quran describes the birth of Jesus as follows:

|} (Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is." (Quran, 3:45-47)

Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said: The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being. (Quran, 3:59)

During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:

"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses...." (Quran, 3:49)

Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus' enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man. Jesus' enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said:

...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Quran, 4:157)

Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.The mainstream Islamic view of the second coming maintains Jesus did not die (see Islamic view of Jesus' death) and was lifted up to Heaven by God, where he is waiting to descend[40] during the "last days" when corruption and perversity are rife on Earth. Jesus will return to wage a battle against and defeat the false Messiah (Dajjal, or Anti-Christ) and call all humanity to Islam, as originally called upon by all the prophets including himself. Jesus shall be accompanied by an army of the righteous, and shall be fighting against darkness, uniting his army with the army of Mahdi in the last war of human history. The Dajjal will wage war with his army of corrupt followers and mischief-makers and those that have fallen under his deception.

Christainity- bible is called holy book or bible

Islam- has bible but his called Qu'ran

Christianity believes in the Trinity and that Jesus (pbuh) was the son of God. Islam teaches that there is only one God and He has no offspring.

To learn more about the differences between Christianity and Islam see the link below

Another important difference between the two religions is that Christians believe that Jesus peace be upon him had been crucified , while Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet who was called to prophecy before Muhammad peace be upon all the prophets. It's a must for a Muslim to believe in Jesus PBU as a prophet as well as all other prophets since Adam's time PBU too. Muslims believe that Jesus PBU hadn't been crucified & he is the only prophet who didn't die yet, they believe that he will come back to this life on earth as a Muslim i.e. a follower of Muhammad PBU & he will break the sign of cross & the place where he will come to is already known by Muslims as Muhammad PBU told them, he will come to Damascus & will pray particularly in the Oumawi Mosque.

Christians believe that Jesus was crucified to bear the sins of humanity or as a penance to their faults or the fault of our father Adam when he ate the apple or the forbidden fruit, however Muslims believe that nobody should pay the price for the sins of others as everyone is responsible for only his/her deeds & that Allah (God) is fair & nobody will be punished for the faults committed by others.

These were some basic differences between the two religions.

The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; some Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas Muslims accept them all (but reject the the divinity of Christ), reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.

* Muslims believe that God is One while most Christians believe that God is three persons in one. * Islam is God's religion per Qur'an revelation to Prophet Muhammad. Christianity is God's religion per the Bible revelation to Jesus.

* Muslims believe that Muhammad is God's prophet and messenger while Christians don't believe Muhammad is God's prophet or messenger. * Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is God's prophet and messenger while most Christians believe that Jesus is God and the Savior of humanity. * Muslims believe that Jesus was lifted bodily to the heavens by God's miracle and was not crucified while Christians believe that Jesus was crucified. * Muslims believe that Adam and Eve were forgiven by God (the Creator) while many Christians believe in the concept of original sin and its transfer to all generations. * Muslims believe that every one is responsible of his deeds in front of God in the Last Day of Judgement while Christians believe that the Christ will save them from their sins. * Muslims believe in the Torah, Bible and the Qur'an as God's holy books (in addition to other holy scriptures revealed to Abraham, David, and other prophets) while Christians believe in the Torah and the Bible only and don't believe in the Qur'an. * Muslims weekly religious holiday is Friday and is allowed to work on Fridays, per their choice, while Christians have Sunday as their weekly religious holiday and they are not recommended to work on Sundays. * Muslims don't believe that God took rest on the 7th day after the creation of the universe in 6 days (God never gets tired). Christians believe that on the 7th day, after universe's creation in 6 days, God took rest.

It is to be highlighted that both religions are different only in some faith issues that are regarding the relationship between yourself and your God. This is a matter to be resolved by God on the Day of Judgement. However, both religions are quite similar in all issues regarding relationships among all people. In reality, there are no differences between the two religions regarding the way that people of different religions should treat each other and deal with each other. This, logically and spiritually, calls all people to live together in love, peace, and harmony regardless their different religions or beliefs. Answer The main difference between Islam and Christianity is the belief about Jesus.

However, some say that analysis shows that Muhammad's revelations were simply pre-Islamic folklore, plagiarised Biblical stories and words to suit Muhammad's own ends. In terms of the development of the religions both were very different.

Throughout Jesus' ministry he pushed a message of peace and love and is said to have performed miracles to convince the masses. In contrast, Islam was spread by force, war and violence, and Muhammad, unlike all other Islamic prophets before him (i.e. prophets borrowed from Jewish and Christian traditions) did not perform any miracles.

Islam believes in only one God almighty, The creator of heaven and the earth, The sun and moon And everything, What we have see and what we haven't seen yet, But Muslims believe in Jesus As A merciful messenger of God almighty, In the Holy book of Muslims (Quran) it has mentioned about Jesus And his miraculous birth, And also about his righteous mother Mary, In surah E Marriam (Chapter marry) But Christians believe that Jesus is A son of God, He is begotten son of God almighty, According to Islam begetting is an animal act of lower function of sexual act, Which is certainly can't attribute to the pure holy God almighty, because God and Human or totally contradictions, God is not Created or born, But Jesus is, God does not require to eat , But Jesus and his mother Did, God does not go for the call of nature, but Jesus did, God never feel hungry and thirsty But Jesus use to drink and eat, God never feel pain but Jesus did, According to Islam God never Die nor can be killed by anyone, But according to Christianity Jesus died on the cross and Jews killed him.

Islam is a religion that worships the God of Abraham (whom Muslims call 'Allah') as revealed by the prophet whom they regard as their spiritual leader - Muhammad. Though on the whole preaching love and respect for God, Muhammad also preached exclusively for Muslims and that no Muslim should befriend a Jew or Christian. Muslims regard Moses, Elijah and Jesus as prophets but lesser prophets than Muhammad. Like Jews, Muslims believe in salvation by adherence to and by living live by a set of rules such as obligatory praying several times a day. male circumcision, not eating certain foods such as pork, and other obligatory customs and rules e.g. in the way they conduct themselves, how they dress and the role of women in society.

Christianity is a religion that also worships the God of Abraham, but Christians believe that Jesus is not simply a prophet but the manifestation of God himself in human form. This is based on Jesus' own claims, his miracles, the prophesies about him and his resurrection from the dead - a great difference between Muhammad and Jesus is that Muslims admit that Muhammad died, but Christians believe that Jesus' death was a turning point in history where he saved all humanity, not just Christians, from their sins, and through his subsequent resurrection saved everyone who turns to him. Therefore, to the Christian, salvation comes not from a set of rules but by God's grace alone. Thus, Christians are free to eat what they like, and dress in the manner that they find most comfortable, as they believe what is in the heart is far more important than any outward sign of pious religion. They undergo no circumcision and regard all people created equal in God's sight - both Jew and Muslim, male and female. They are commanded by Jesus to love enemies and befriend and love those of all faiths and none.

• The saying in Answer 9 above that "God of Abraham (whom Muslims call 'Allah')" is not accurate as the Name Allah for God is the Arabic name used by all Arabs (Jews, Christians, and Muslims). Refer to the Arabic Bible, you find Allah used for God. Also Arabic Christians say 'Mesih Ibn Allah' that means 'Christ son of God'.
• The saying in Answer 9 above that "Muslims regard Moses, Elijah and Jesus as prophets but lesser prophets than Muhammad" is not true. God command Muslims to believe equally in all God prophets. In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God has said (meaning English Translation): {The Messenger (Muhammad) has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah (God) and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.}(Quran, chapter 2, verse 285)
• The saying in Answer 9 above that "no Muslim should befriend a Jew or Christian" is not true. God command Muslims to be kind and peaceful in dealing with non Muslims who don't attack them to deprive them from their homes or religion.

  In the Quran, Holy book of Islam, God has said (meaning English Translation):

  " God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers."[Quran, chapter 60, verse 8].

1. This does not need any qualification. I have already stated that Muslims call God 'Allah' and this is the same God of Abraham, Moses and Christ. Why is a 'correction' needed?

(hint by first answerer: You are right. I wrongly understood that you mean different God than in Judaism and Christianity as some claim)

2. The basis of Islamic belief is the Shahada which states ""There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God (or Prophet)". This clearly puts Muhammad as THE messenger from God above all other prophets - or these would have been mentioned too. (hint by first answerer: The reason of the 'Shahada' is that Prophet Muhammad called the polytheists to believe in one God and to believe in his prophecy otherwise how they will believe in Quran and his preachings. The six basic Muslim faith articles include believing in all God prophets with no distinction)

3. The Koran does forbid Muslims befriending Jews and Christians. It is written clearly in the Koran -

" [5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people." It cannot be more clear.

hint on #3 above by first answerer: The Quran verse above is, of course, correct. However, the Arabic text and the occasion when this verse is revealed is to forbid Muslims from making allies with Christians or Jews against other Muslims. In the same sense, also in Quran, Muslims are commanded not to make allies with God unbelievers against Jews and Christians. This explains why Muslims were sad and depressed when Christians were defeated by the Persians (God unbelievers) and God told them in Quran that they will win in less than ten years and it was. Quran (30, verses 1-5) says: "The Byzantines have been defeated (2) In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome. (3) Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers (Muslims) will rejoice (4) In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. (5)". Personally, I have lots of close Christian Egyptian friends and sure this is not against Islamic Guides. All religions call for mankind cooperation, prosperity and peacefulness and never call for enmity or hatred among different faiths or religions).

Islamic point of view

Muslims believe that Islam is not a new religion , but a final restatement of the original revelation that has been conveyed to humanity by messengers and prophets sent by God. They believe that the original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values

However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.

Muslims regard Muhammad as the last prophet and messenger of God and regard him as a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael,

As Muslims believe that God promised that since Muhammad is regarded by them as the last of the series of the Prophets and Messengers and since they regard the Holy Qur'an is His last Book of Guidance to humanity, He Himself will guard it from any changes or corruptions till the Day of Judgment. This is why this last Revelation which was sent more than 1400 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.

Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.

The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; some Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all (but reject the the divinity of Christ), but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions

Christians believe that Jesus is the true Messiah as the Son of God, part of the Holy Trinity together with the Father and Holy Spirit. Muslims do not believe.

Christians believe it is wrong to kill except in extreme self defence, Muslims believe it their right to kill with impunity and still go to Paradise.

Muslims believe in the practise of 'thighing' with babies one year old, Christian belief abhors paedophilia as an abomination.

• Quran and prophet Muhammad teachings include instructions similar to the ten commandments except that the Commandment that Saturday is the rest day because God rested on this day after His creation of the universe. Muslims believe that God creates by saying 'be' then ' it is' and that God is free from being tired. Refer to related question below.
• Muslims do not believe in the Trinity. They believe that God is one with no son or father and that Jesus is one of the Greatest Prophets and Messengers but not god or son of God.
• Muslims are forbidden; per Quran and prophet Muhammad teachings; from killing innocent people and civilians. They are allowed only to fight who fights them and to seek peace if the attackers quit fighting.
• It is false the claim that Muslims believe in the practice of 'thighing' with babies one year old.

Basically, Christianity and Islam religions are similar.

Followers of both religions believe in:

• God the Creator
• Angels
• All God prophets (some Christians do not believe in Muhammad as God prophet)
• All God holy books (some Christians do not believe in Quran as God revelation to Prophet Muhammad)
• Day of Judgment
• The second eternal life
• Hell and Paradise in the other life
• Praying, Alms Giving, and fasting (but with different rituals and rules)
• doing good deeds for the benefit of community, mankind and nature.

In Quran, Muslims holy book, it is mentioned that all prophets (peace be upon them), including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, call for worshiping one and only one God with no partners, no son, no father, no companion, and no resemblance. However, some Christians believe that Jesus is God or son of God.

4. · Christianity has a savior Jesus Christ who saves them from sins and hell punishment. Islam does not have a savior but has only messengers who died just like regular humans.
5. · Marrying another person while your spouse is living is adultery according to Christian teaching. Islam does not consider this as a sin (following Muhammad's example).
6. · Christianity offers a heaven with the presence of Lord Jesus. Islam offers a heaven with milk, vine and virgins.
7. · Jesus is the Son of God in Christianity as revealed in OT. Jesus is just a messenger in Islam even though Jesus is unique in Quran.
8. · Christianity found in the New Testament has no rituals. Islam has a lot of rituals including reciting in Arabic you do not understand and kissing the black stone at Kaaba.
9. · Christians are called children of God. Muslims are the slaves of Allah.
10. · Christians worship God in spirit and no directional worship. Muslims worship Allah by turning towards Kaaba in Mecca.
11. · New Testament teaches Jesus is the only way to heaven. Quran teaches good Christians, Jews, Sabience will also go to heaven.
12. · Salvation is guaranteed in Christianity since Jesus died to save them. No guaranty for salvation in Islam.
13. · Do not kill is the teaching of Christianity as Jesus or His disciples did not kill anyone. Killing is allowed in Islam as Muhammad and his followers killed many.
14. · Salvation in Christianity is based on what God did through His Son Jesus who was punished for others sins. Salvation in Islam is based on human efforts.
15. · Christian Scripture teaches not to fight. Islamic scripture teaches to fight and Allah loves those who fight for Allah (Quran 61:4)
16. · Christian Scripture teaches God as Righteous. Islamic scripture teaches Allah as a Deceiver ( best of Deceivers - Quran 3:54, 8:30)
17. · There is no consequence if a Christian leaves faith (except hell). Will be killed if a Muslims leaves faith (No compulsion in religion is an abrogated verse).

20. · Christianity teaches that only those whose name is not written in the Book of Life will be in hell. Islam teaches that even all Muslims will have to go to hell (Quran 19:71).

1. Allah (God in English) is same God in Christianity and Judaism. In Arabic versions of the Bible God is written as Allah,
2. It is true that in Islam Jesus was bodily raised to the Heavens and that his likeness was thrown on the one who betrayed Jesus; by miracle of God; and he was crucified in place of Jesus.
3. Love your enemies is a slogan that never practically applied. Refer to the WW1, WW2, wars in North in south America, wars of the Crusades, current wars in the Middle East.
4. All God prophets are human including Jesus (Peace be upon him). This the Muslims belief. Your good deeds and the God mercy are your savior.
5. Polygamy was allowed before Islam even for prophets. Refer to the marriages of Solomon, David, Jacob,.... and many Romans and others. Jesus is the only prophet who didn't marry. Islam limited the allowed marriages to four.
6. No one can know what is the Heaven. All what is mentioned about the Heaven in Quran is just for illustrations and not physically the same. It is mentioned in Quran that what is the Heaven never seen by eyes, never heard by ears, and never even thought of by heart.
7. Jesus never said that he is Son of God. Even some Christians they do believe that He is a prophet and not son of God.
8. Does it mean that Christians have no rituals? Kissing the black stone is not ritual worship and is not obligatory. However, kissing the black stones has special reasons. Don't Christians kiss the Cross that is a human made?
9. God has neither children nor sons not companions. we are all bondmen and bondwomen to God; including prophets; but not slaves. Quran says for example (15:3) " The descendants of those whom We boarded along with Nooh; he was indeed a grateful bondman."
10. Turning to Kaaba is only during praying to God.
11. Jesus called also his followers that to go to the Heavens they should worship God as the one and only one God with no partner and no son.
12. Obedience to God is manifested through following God commands. Only those Christians, Muslims, Jews, ... who worship God with no partners and do Good deeds will be Accepted in God Heavens with God mercy.
13. Killing is not allowed in all religions including Islam. It is allowed in Islam only in defense when Muslims are attacked by others.
14. Answered under 12
15. Are you sure Christians never fight and never fought?
16. Deceiver in Quran is mentioned in Arabic that has another understanding in Arabic language. As we say God hand is with you. It doesn't mean that God has hands.
17. It is not true that in Islam teachings to kill who converts out of Islam. What is your proof that no compulsion in religion is abrogated?
18. Abrogation was done only by God but once Quran revelation completed there was no abrogation. Quran was revealed over 23 years and required impose its teachings gradually to suit people capacities. Would you explain why there are different Bible text versions?
19. It is logic that Quran God revelation to be to prophet Muhammad only. The same way Bible revelation was to Jesus only. Torah revelation was to Moses only.
20. It is not enough to be a Muslim or Christian or else to be accepted the Heavens. You must be true believer in God oneness with no partner and no son and follow God commands to be accepted in God Heavens per God mercy and forgiveness.

They both share some moral values such as love thy neighbor, cherish life, feed the poor. etc.

Both are Abrahamic faiths, and are both monotheistic.

The difference lies mostly in how Jesus and Muhammad are viewed.

Christianity is a triune monotheistic religion. Its form of monotheism can be summarized in the following seven points:

1. The Father is God

2. The Son is God

3. The Holy Spirit is God

4. The Father is not the Son

5. The Son is not the Holy Spirit

6. The Holy Spirit is not the Father

7. There is only one God

Christianity rejects Muhammad as a messenger of God.

Christianity believes Jesus died on the cross and Islam rejects this.

Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion; it teaches that Jesus was a messenger of God, much like Moses, Noah, etc. God is one in Islam, with no partners or children. Islam also teaches that Muhammad was the last of the messengers.

· In Christianity, Jesus came and died for sinners as prophesied by the Jewish prophets. In Islam, Jesus did not die but taken to heaven.

· Christianity teaches that only those whose name is not written in the Book of Life will be in hell. Islam teaches that even all Muslims will have to go to hell (Quran 19:71).
