""Take the teachings of Muhammud. Every Christian is bound - by the teachings of the bible - to view Muhammud as a "false prophet"!
Likewise, Muslims don't believe Jesus was the son of god!

You've put your finger, inadvertently, I'm sure, on one of the most important differences betwen Christianity and Islam.

Islam does not regard Jesus as the Son of God, but it does regard him as a genuine prophet. By the same token, it does not portray Muhammed as a divine being, but simply as a prophet.

Islam is not institutionally inimical to Christianity, referring to Christians as ""People of the book"""".

The pity of it is that the reverse is not true. Christianity is inherently anti Islam and a large proportion of the history of Islam is one of pesecution by Christians.
