They were Jewish. \n\nAlso Christians are not a sect of Judaism and we actually have very little in common.

In the beginning they were one in the same.  Ishmael, Abrahams illegitimate son; was named "the father of a nation".  He was illegitimate because Abraham grew tired of waiting for God's promise and decided to take matters into his own hands; Sarah, Abrahams wife, offered Hagar, her handmaiden, as a surrogate mother to provide an heir. She gave birth to Ishmael.  They all served the same God; YHWH (pronounced Yahweh or closest translation: Jehova).  Now some thirteen years later God fulfilled His promise to Abraham for a son and Sarah at ninety years of age, gave birth to Isaac, which God made "A Father of Many Nations".\n\nSomewhere down through the ages, the muslim faith grew out of this faith of Ishmael.  The Muslim Quran, is written by a prophet called Muhammed, who at the time was not in his right mind; considered to be deranged.  In the Quran most of the Old Testament (Bible) prophets and Kings,etc. are mentioned, and most of it reads like the Christian Bible.  Jesus Himself is even mentioned in it, but not given His due!  However distorted this faith may be to some of us; in the beginning, our God (Christian) was their God.  However, no Muslim will agree to this, but it is so.\n\nThere is only one God, who created all that is... and it wasn't billions of years ago!  It was only thousands.  Carbon dating is flawed, and it is the only way we can tell age to this day.  \n\nIf you take a look at all beliefs, you'll see there is only one which offers it's own sacrifice; Christianity.  Most, if not all, eastern  philosophies, have no God at all, only prophets.  Christianity offers a way to become one with the Father, as Jesus is, as a son; adopted by faith, through His grace.  This faith must be in Jesus; "the only 'begotten' son of God".  The only to the Father is through the Son; Jesus...

Mohammed Jesus and Moses (p.b.u.h) are three different people...\nMohammed was the last prophet sent of God (Allah)

Muslims believe that they memorise ABRAHAM, forefather of Prophet Mohammad, and all Israelite prophets.  Abraham tried to offer scarifice of his son.  (Ishmail as muslims believe)

Sure. "I am" hath sent me.\n\nJoh 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.\n\nExo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.\n\nWhat don't you understand? Jesus said before Abraham was "I am".\n\nTHERE IT IS, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.\n\nSpock would be disappointed in your logic.

John the Baptist was a prophet who lived the same time as Jesus. He was actually Jesus's cousin; Mary was kin to John's mother Elizabeth.\nJohn was just a man, no more no less. He was so devout to God, and so radical in his teachings, that he was something of an outsider from the religious leaders. The Bible says John lived out in the woods and ate bugs. All he really cared about was preaching.\nHe is known as "the Baptist" because he baptised Jesus in water when Jesus began his own ministry. He was the first to recognize Jesus as "the Lamb of God."\nJohn was arrested and sent to prison, and eventually was executed, though he had committed no specific crime. The Bible records that Jesus was quite saddened by John's death.

Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic faiths(One GOD). The Koran even mentions people like Moses, Noah, Adam & Eve, Isaiah, and Jesus. But they differ on who Jesus actually was. So if christians believe that Jesus is Divine and Muslims don't then they don't worship the same God. Judaism should also be included. but again they differ on the subject of Jesus.

Adam is a prophet, Jesus is a Prophet, what are you talking about ?????

Simplified version: Christians don't acknowledge Muhammad to have been a prophet because he taught a number of things that are contrary to essential Christian doctrine.  For instance, Muhammad denied Yeshua's (Jesus') death, resurrection, and deity.  If someone were to accept Muhammad as a prophet, they would no longer be a Christian.  If acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet of God does not make one a Muslim on some level, then I don't know what would, and becoming a Muslim makes one no longer a Christian.\n\nMore complex answer: Whatever other prophets we may recognize-- whether they be God's prophets to the Israelites, John the Baptist, Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, Peter, Paul, any of the other apostles, or even people today through whom God may yet deign to speak on some level (although whether or not He actually does on the same level as in times past is a matter of some debate within the Christian community)-- whatever other prophets we may recognize, it simply isn't possible for a Christian to remain a Christian while simultaneously embracing the teachings of Muhammad insofar as they contradict basic, essential tenets of Christian theology.  Unless one plays some really funny word games and defines Christianity out of its historic confessions-- even the most basic creeds, such as the Nicene and Apostolic Creeds-- one cannot be a Christian and accept the teachings of Muhammad concerning who Yeshua (Jesus) was.\n\nThis question is somewhat like asking why Sunnis do not believe that Husayn/Hussein was really a caliph.  However, to make the analogy proper, Husayn/Hussein would have had to have denied several facts central to Islam about Muhammad.  To achieve the sort of drastic effect that is required to make this comparison work, the question would have to be something like... "Why do Sunni's acknowledge other caliphs, but not Husayn/Hussein, who denied that Muhammad is Allah's prophet?"  (Naturally, Husayn/Hussein never really denied that Muhammad was Allah's prophet, but for the sake of a fare comparison between the two questions, such must be pretended.)

Yes, Muslims are the truest believers of God. Muslims believe in strict monothesim, as well as belief in prophets that God sent. If you look at Judaism, they believe in their prophets, but won't accept the Christian Porphets. If you look at Christianity, they accept the Jewish prophets and their own, but won't accept Muhammad as God's prophet. And if you look at Islam, Muslims accept all three religion's prophets, and views them all equally. No other faith in the world will accept other religion's prophets as equals.

John the Baptist was the prophet preparing people for Jesus to come, and no human is greater-or has greater faith-than John.  However, even though John is the greatest human, anyone in heaven is free of sin and therefore greater than John.\nAt least that's what I got out of it.

Islam is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an. With approximately 1.2-1.3 billion adherents [1][2], it is the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God (Arabic Allāh) revealed his word to humanity through many earlier prophets, and that Muhammad was the final prophet. Muslims believe that the core message of Islam, which is submission to God, has been the central messages in the teaching of all God's prophets.\n\nSecular historians view the religion as being founded by the prophet Muhammad in the 7th century C.E. The faith went through a period of rapid expansion after the prophet's death, and its followers can be found all over the world today.\n\nenet of Islam is found in the shahādatān ("two testimonies"): lā ilāhā illā-llāhu; muhammadu-r-rasūlu-llāhi — "There is no god but God (Allah) and Muhammad is the messenger of God (Allah)." A person who truly believes in the meaning of these words is a Muslim. However, for practical reasons one may need to recite the words in the presence of witnesses to be considered one by other members of their society.\n\nMuslims believe that God (or, in Arabic, Allāh; also in Aramaic Alaha) revealed his direct word for humanity to Muhammad (c. 570–632) and earlier prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the Last, or the Seal, of the prophets and that his teachings for humanity will last until Qiyamah (The Day of the Resurrection). Muslims assert that the main written record of revelation to humanity is the Qur'an (see below), which they believe to be flawless, immutable, and the final revelation of God to humanity. Muslims believe that parts of the Gospels, Torah and Jewish prophetic books have been forgotten, misinterpreted, incorrectly edited by humans, or distorted by their followers and thus their original message has been corrupted over time (tahrif). With that perspective, Muslims view the Qur'an as a correction of Jewish and Christian scriptures, and a final revelation.\n\nMuslims hold that Islam is essentially the same belief as that of all the messengers sent by God to humanity since Adam, with the Qur'an (the text used by all sects of the Muslim faith) codifying the final revelation of God. Islamic texts depict Judaism and Christianity as derivations of the teachings of Abraham and thus acknowledge common Abrahamic roots. The Qur'an calls Jews and Christians (and sometimes people of other faiths) "People of the Book." Historically, the second Caliph Umar ibn Khattab created what came to be known as "the Pact of Umar" in establishing that any people of the book who submitted to Muslim authority as dhimmis during the wars of Muslim expansion retained their freedom of religion and their existing churches.

They believe that Jesus was a prophet, not God, and he was a lesser prophet than Mohammed. Still important, but not nearly as important as Mohammed (in the eyes of a Muslim person). \n\nThey believe that Judaism exists because Judaism is a religion. As a Christian, I believe that other religions exist. So if that's what you mean, then it's just another religion.\n\nNow, as for Christians, I believe that we do accept the existence of Mohammed, but, in the eyes of Christians, Mohammed was basically someone who started a new religion that Christians don't support.\n\nAnd Christians don't believe in Allah because we believe in the one true God, and we don't believe the one true God is Allah. Christians believe in one God, and Muslims believe in one god, but they're different gods, if that makes sense. Muslims believe in Allah and Christians believe in Jesus, the Trinity, etc.

There were many religions before Christianity. Judaism is one, just the Old Testament. Other religions have multiple Gods and Goddesses. Some have none. Christianity is not the only and not the first and maybe not even the right religion.
