*Muhammad claimed to have received visions from God and teachings, which is Koran; here are basic teachings of islam:*
*--Monotheism (Sura 5:73, 112:1-4), calls God 'Allah', denies the Trinity (5:73)*
*--Jesus is not God (5:17, 75), Jesus was not the Son of God (9:30), Jesus was not crucified (4:157)*
*--The Holy Spirit is the angel Gabriel (2:97, 16:102)*
*--Salvation is by sincerity and works (3:135, 7:8-9, 21:47, 49:14, 66:8-9)*
*--No miracles done by Muhammad or Allah recorded except they claim the Qur'an is a miracle and makes no prophecies (''foretelling the future').*

*As the Jews believed in the Old Testament and the Christians put their faith in both the Old and New Testaments, the Muslims believe the Quran is the divine word of God. This book, containing the supposed revelations given to Mohammed, is divided into 114 chapters, or Suras. His followers wrote the Quran shortly after Mohammed’s death.*

*To the Muslims, the Quran is God’s last word to the world. It states that both the Old and New Testaments are likewise divinely inspired, but have been altered by Christians and Jews (archaeological discoveries of Biblical Manuscripts are denied by Muslims, they say 'Satan produced them'); they say Quran was kept by Allah, but how come Allah couldn't keep the Old and the New Testament writings that He had inspired? Surah 6:115 and 18:27 say that nobody can change the Word of Allah (it does not say Quran, but ''Word''). In any place where they conflict, the Bible is wrong and the Quran is correct; the Quran is the final authority (Sura 33:40).*

*Islam’s basic teaching, called the Islamic creed, consists of six basic 'pillars of belief', found throughout the Quran. The favorite creed of Islam is, “There is no God but Allah,” which is recited daily by the faithful Muslim.*

*Muslims also believe that Allah has revealed himself through Scripture,including the Old Testament, the Gospels (though not believing them to be accurate today), the Quran, and the traditions not contained in the Quran called the Hadith. Of the above sources, only the Quran is totally trusted by Muslims.*

*Islam also holds a strong belief in the prophets, Mohammed being the greatest since he was sent to the entire world. Jesus is viewed as a prophet sent only to the Jews but according to the Quran Jesus is greater than Muhammad: Jesus was born through the Holy Spirit, Jesus did miracles, Jesus is coming back to settle his kingdom, Jesus was without sin,Jesus is called ''The Word of Allah'',Allah has created the world through his Word.*

*There is a great emphasis in Islam concerning the Day of Judgment. All men will be judged according to their works. Muslims will enter paradise (though some must first be purged for their sins); non-Muslims will be condemned forever to a pit of fire.*

*Besides the five basic beliefs, Muslims also have five pillars or observances that follow as part of their faith. They are:*
*1. The creed or statement of belief: “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet of Allah.”*
*2. The ritual prayers performed five times a day facing Mecca.*
*3. Alms giving, offering 1/4 of their income for the needy.*
*4. Their observance of Ramadan where they fast during the daylight hours and feast at night (statistics show during Ramadan more food is sold than in any other month of the year)*
*5. Their pilgrimage to Mecca required of all Muslims before death (you can pay someone to go in your place if you cant go)*

*There is an unofficial sixth pillar known as jihad,the holy war. This is used to spread Islam. The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 002:178-179, 190-191, 193-194,216-218, 244; 003:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173,195; 004:071-072, 074-077, 084, 089-091, 094-095,100-104; 005:033, 035,082; 008:001, 005, 007, 009-010, 012, 015-017, 039-048,057-060, 065-075;009:005, 012-014, 016, 019-020, 024-026, 029,036, 038-039, 041, 044, 052,073, 081, 083,086, 088, 092, 111, 120, 122-123; 016:110; 022:039, 058, 078;024:053, 055; 025:052; 029:006, 069; 033:015, 018, 020, 023, 025-027, 050;042:039; 047:004, 020, 035; 048:015-024; 049:015; 059:002, 005-008, 014;060:009; 061:004, 011, 013; 063:004; 064:014; 066:009; 073:020; 076:008.*

*Many of these verses say, ''kill the Christians and the Jews''. Some Muslims say the jihad was just for Muhammad's time, but these Quran's jihad verses are addressing all Muslims. Quran does not guarantee paradise but for those that enter jihad.*

*Finally, Muslims view God as an absolute deity whose will is law. God is unknowable in the personal sense; thus the goal of Islam is to obey Allah, not to know him. Some other facts about islam:*
*--muslims are ALLOWED TO LIE for the spread of islam; Muhammad advised his soldiers to lie to a tribe of Jews in order to be able to defeat them later;Qur'an (16:106 , Qur'an (3:28) , Qur'an (9:3) , Qur'an (40:28) , Qur'an (2:225) ,Qur'an (3:54) , 8:30 and 10:21 also from Hadith: Bukhari (52:269) , Bukhari(49:857) , Bukhari (84:64-65) , Muslim (32:6303) Bukhari (50:369) , also The Ilsamic Law, Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) allows to lie in special situations. It is why Obama lies that he is a Christian, when in fact he is a Muslim (search Obama is a Muslim on youtube or google). Jesus said Satan is the father of lies John8/44.*
*--muslims say the QURAN WAS UNCHANGED since its writing, archeology has proven that it did change:*
http://www.studytoanswer.net/myths_ch1.html
*--WOMEN'S STATUS is Islam: women prisoner of war can be abused sexually Sura 4:24 (often in front of their husband before he was killed); a wife can be beaten for disobedience by the husband; husband can divorce his wife as he pleases; a woman receive only half rights of inheritance as compared to their brothers; a woman that is sexually abused must produce 4 witnesses in court;see more:*
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Muhammad/myths-mu-rape.htm
*--Muslims believe that Muhammad is THE COMFORTER that Jesus announced to be sent from the Father in John 14/26 and 16/13 but Jesus gives the comforter's name: the Holy Spirit. Muhammad was in fact prophesied by Jesus indeed: ''many false prophets will come in My Name...'' Mat.24/5,Luke21/8, Mark13/6*
*--MUHAMMAD'S SEXUAL LIFE: he asked his adopted son to divorce his wife so that he could 'marry her'; sex with slaved allowed; he would often go from one wife to another all night, even without washing in between (Bukhari,volume 7, # 142); "Muta Marriage" is a marriage that lasts for a few hours, for the purpose of sex, we would call it prostitution; Sura 33/50 Allah allowed Muhammad to have as many wives as he wanted while his followers could only have four Sura4/3; Muhammad was dressing in women clothes, see Sahih Bukhari 2/911; 44 Islamic books—including some highly respected collections,such as Sunan Bayhaqi, Sunan Bayhaqi and Al Halabi state that Muhammad had homosexual habits; a hadith by Abu Hurreira says Muhammad was sucking the tongues of boys and girls; see more:*

*Zakarias Botros is a coptic orthodox priest, ex-Muslim, he turns thousands of Muslims to Jesus (by teaching Muslims who really was Muhammad, using the Quran, the Hadits and other islamic books that most Muslims have never read);now he has a bounty of $60million on his head from Al-Qaida:*

*MORE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MUHAMMAD AND JESUS*
* Jesus was a religious leader.
* Muhammad was a religious leader and a military leader.

* Jesus never killed anyone.
* Muhammad killed an estimated 3,000 people, including beheading 700 Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe in one single day in Medina, A.D. 627

* Jesus never owned slaves.
* Muhammad received a fifth of the prisoners taken in battle, including women.(Sura 8:41)

* Jesus never married.
* Muhammad had many wives.

* Jesus never forced followers to continue believing. After Jesus made a difficult saying, "many of his disciples went back and walked no more with
him. Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Will ye also go away?' Then Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.'" (John 6:31-69)
* Muhammad forced followers to continue believing, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Hadith al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Bk. 84, No. 57)

* Jesus taught God was our Father (Matthew 6:10).
* Muhammad taught it was blasphemy to call Allah your father (Sura 5:18)

* Jesus taught man was made in God's image. (Matthew 22:20, ref. Gen. 1:26-27)
* Muhammad taught Allah has no image. (Sura 42:11, Sura 112:4)

* Jesus taught "forgive those who trespass against you." (Matthew 6:10-15)
* Muhammad taught to avenge trespasses against your honor, family or religion.

* Jesus never tortured anyone.
* Muhammad tortured the chief of a Jewish tribe.

* Jesus did not retaliate when violence was committed against him, saying "Father, forgive them." (Luke 23:34)
* Muhammad retaliated when violence was committed against him, ordering the death of his enemies. Kitab al-Tabaqat, written by Ibn Sa'd (A.D. 745-845),Vol. 2, p. 168

* Following Jesus was voluntary, from the inside out.
* Following Muhammad could be coerced, from the outside in. Sura 9:29

* A martyr in Christian and Jewish thought is one who dies for his faith.
* A martyr in Islamic thought is one who dies for his faith while killing infidels.

* Christianity teaches God wants a personal relationship with each individual.
* Islam teaches individuals cannot have a personal relationship with Allah, as he is transcendent and unknowable.

* Jesus' religion is known for forgiveness and love.
* Muhammad's religion is known for obedience and fear.

*None of Jesus' Apostles led armies. A village did not receive Jesus "and when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, 'Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elias did?' But he turned and rebuked them, and said, 'Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
save them.'" (Luke 9:52-56)
* All of the caliphs who followed Muhammad led armies. (Caliphs Abu Bakr,Umar, Uthman, Ali, Muawiyya, the Umayyads, the Abbasids, etc.)

* In the first 300 years of Christianity, there were 10 major Roman persecutions, and Christians were fed to lions in the Coliseum. Never did Christians lead an armed resistance against those who attacked them.
* In the first 300 years of Islam, Muslim armies conquered Arabia, Persia, the Holy Land, North Africa, Spain, Southern France, Central Africa, and invaded
vast areas of Asia and Asia Minor.
Fighting is inconsistent with Jesus' example but not Muhammad's, as the Sirat Rasul Allah records Muhammad personally led 27 raids, including Battle of
Badr, 624 AD; Battle of Uhud and expulsion of Banu Nadir, 625 AD; Attack on Banu Mustaliq, 626 AD; Battle of the Trench and killing Banu Qurayza, 627 AD; Battle of Khaybar, 628 AD; Battle of Mu’tah, 629 AD; Conquest of
Mecca, Battle of Hunayn, Battle of Auras and Siege of al-Ta’if, where Mohammed used a catapult, 630 AD; Battle of Tabouk, Subjugation of Banu Thaqif (Yemen) and subjugation of Ghassanids (Arab Christians), 631 AD.

*Jesus' teaching on how to treat enemies:*
* Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,pray for them which despitefully use you (Matthew 5:44).
* Resist not evil (Matthew 5:39).
* If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to them the other (Matthew 5:39).
* If someone takes your coat, give them your shirt (Matthew 5:40).
* If someone make you carry something one mile, carry it two (Matthew 5:41).
* Forgive and you shall be forgiven (Matthew 6:14).
* Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matthew 7:1).
* Blessed are the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9).
* Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy (Matthew 5:7).
* Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not kill, but I say who ever is angry with his brother is in danger of the judgment (Matthew 5:21-22).
* Treat others the same way you want them to treat you (Luke 6:27-36).
* Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, whatever you do to the very least you have done unto me (Matthew 25:40).

*Muhammad's teaching on how to treat enemies:*
* Infidels are your sworn enemies (Sura 4:101).
* Be ruthless to the infidels (Sura 48:29).
* Make war on the infidels who dwell around you (Sura 9:123, 66:9).
* Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day (Sura 9:29).
* Strike off the heads of infidels in battle (Sura 47:4).
* If someone stops believing in Allah, kill him (al-Bukhari 9:84:57).
* Take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends (Sura 5:51, 60:13).
* Never be a helper to the disbelievers (Sura 28:86).
* Kill the disbelievers wherever we find them (Sura 2:191).
* No Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel (al-Bukhari 1:3:111).
* The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate
sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land (Sura 5:33).

*What motivates fundamental Muslims to violence?*
Where Jesus was a religious leader, Muhammad was a religious leader and a military leader, thus the effort to separate the militant aspect of Islam from the religious aspect is an attempt to split Muhammad.The closer one follows the example of Jesus, the more peaceful is one's
motivation.The closer one follows example of Muhammad, the more militant is one's motivation.
